Workshops
Join us on Friday, Jan 20, 9:15-10:15am CST, for a BioSTEAM workshop!
Email biosteamdevelopmentgroup@gmail.com for details.


What is BioSTEAM?
BioSTEAM is a fast and flexible package for the design, simulation,
techno-economic analysis, and life cycle assessment of biorefineries under uncertainty [1].
BioSTEAM is built to streamline and automate early-stage technology evaluations
and to enable rigorous sensitivity and uncertainty analyses. Complete
biorefinery configurations are available at the Bioindustrial-Park GitHub repository,
BioSTEAM’s premier repository for biorefinery models and results. The long-term
growth and maintenance of BioSTEAM is supported through both community-led
development and the research institutions invested in BioSTEAM, including the
Center for Advanced Bioenergy and Bioproducts Innovations (CABBI).
Through its open-source and community-lead platform, BioSTEAM aims to foster
communication and transparency within the biorefinery research community for an
integrated effort to expedite the evaluation of candidate biofuels and
bioproducts.
Data on chemicals and algorithms to estimate thermodynamic properties are
imported from chemicals
and thermo,
community-driven open-source libraries developed by Caleb Bell. BioSTEAM’s
premire thermodynamic engine, ThermoSTEAM,
builds upon these libraries to facilitate the creation of thermodynamic property packages.


Installation
Get the latest version of BioSTEAM from PyPI. If you have an installation of Python with pip, simple install it with:

$ pip install biosteam

To get the git version, run:

$ git clone git://github.com/BioSTEAMDevelopmentGroup/biosteam

For help on common installation issues, please visit the documentation.
