FlowBite is a browser-based process simulator for the food industry. Build flowsheets, calculate mass & energy balances, validate microbial safety, and export professional results — all in one tool.
Built by food engineers, for food engineers. FlowBite combines rigorous thermodynamics with an intuitive drag-and-drop interface.
From mixers and heat exchangers to multi-effect evaporators, spray dryers, sterilisers, and fluid bed dryers.
Rigorous thermodynamic calculations with CoolProp integration for accurate steam, water, and energy properties.
Built-in thermal inactivation models with D/Z-value calculations for pasteurisation and sterilisation validation.
Visualise mass and energy flows through your process with interactive Sankey diagrams.
Automatic steam, cooling water, and electricity assignment with detailed utility summaries per unit.
Save flowsheets to the cloud, export to JSON, and download results as CSV for further analysis.
From basic mixing to multi-effect evaporation — every unit includes full thermodynamic calculations and utility tracking.
Drag unit operations onto the canvas and connect them with streams. Configure feed compositions, temperatures, and pressures.
Hit Calculate and FlowBite solves the full mass & energy balance using CoolProp thermodynamics and food-specific property models.
Review stream tables, Sankey diagrams, microbial log reductions, and utility summaries. Export results to CSV or save to the cloud.
