The LIMN “The Flowsheet Processor” software has been developed by David Wiseman since starting his company in early
1994. Over 600 licences of the software have been sold to various companies across the globe. The software is currently
used on 8 different continents, in 19 different commodities and by 10 different industries. The software is developed
by David Wiseman and supported by 7 agents located in different areas on different continents around the world.
I am the registered agent for Western Australia and as such I am responsible for software sales, training and technical
support for the whole of Western Australia.
To me the main benefits of using LIMN “The Flowsheet Processor” are:
1. LIMN is a Microsoft Excel based software package. If one can use Excel then one can learn to use LIMN in 2 days by attending one of the beginners courses. All inputs and outputs are from Excel spreadsheets so users are able to use the full suite of Excel functions in LIMN models.
2. LIMN is a very simple yet very powerful flowsheeting package. Users can develop their own unit icons and customize the appearance of flowsheets quickly and easily.
3. LIMN flowsheets can be converted into JPG images in Excel and pasted into Word or PowerPoint. The use of flowsheets gives a visual representation of a problem and solution.
4. LIMN is very competitive on cost and is a once off purchase cost, there are no annual fees.
5. LIMN has a very powerful and easy to use scenarios functionality built into it. The use of scenarios is very powerful for trouble shooting, option analysis, de-bottlenecking, sensitivity analysis and model calibration.
6. The LIMN wizards are easy to use and follow a step by step procedure to develop a process model. Each of the wizards has a library of unit operation models to chose from, all based on those regarded as best practice within the mineral processing community.
7. The easy to follow structure of the LIMN Wizards enable users to understand and trouble shoot simulations conducted by other people, thus making the sharing and retention of intellectual capital easier for companies.
8. Users are able to clone and develop their own models or wizards thus making LIMN more specific to their individual needs and requirements.
9. Specific LIMN Wizards can be built for specific commodities and applications by David Wiseman and myself.
