Created end of 1986 as a spin-off from University of Liège, BelSim Engineering SA (known as BelSim SA till September 2017), is an independent Belgian company.
Belsim Engineering’s mission is to provide solutions to enhance the quality of production and process data. Belsim Engineering thereby is a technology partner as well as a solution provider, and can accompany its customers from proof of concept, over full-scale project implementation, to ongoing support.
Belsim Engineering helps its customers to improve process plant efficiency, reduce energy consumption, limit their environmental impact, and develop a better understanding of their process operations and performance. This translates into significant returns on investment, and payback periods in typically less than one year.
Belsim Engineering is the worldwide leader in the field of Data Validation and Reconciliation (DVR). Its software suite, VALI, uses this technology and state-of-the-art modeling techniques and thermodynamics packages to transform process data into consistent, accurate and reliable information. The kind of information needed to operate your processes profitably and reliability, detect problems in time, and eliminate inefficiencies.
Belsim Engineering SA is an Associate Member in Group B since January 1, 2021 as per the CO-LaN bylaws adopted on October 15, 2020.
