About Dualizer
Summary
Dualizer builds AI-powered process simulation and digital twins for chemical and industrial plant engineering teams. The platform combines physics-based modeling, thermodynamics, and AI reasoning to let engineers design new processes, scale them up, and optimize existing plant operations through a conversational interface. It replaces manual simulation workflows and standalone point tools by connecting equipment sizing, layout planning, and techno-economic analysis in one continuously updatable model.
Business model
SaaS subscription for enterprise engineering teams.
Go-to-market
Chemical and industrial plant engineering teams are the buyers, targeting both greenfield process design and optimization of operating plants. Engineers start from a process diagram, existing plant data, or a stated engineering objective.

AI-powered physical simulation to design/optimize chemical processes
Dualizer builds AI-powered, physics-based process simulation and digital twins to design and scale chemical processes and optimize existing plants. We help engineering teams identify bottlenecks, increase yield and throughput, and reduce energy and production costs—improving plant efficiency and profitability. The platform combines AI reasoning, our proprietary deterministic simulation and optimization engine, and physics-informed machine learning. Engineers can build, calibrate, and refine models through conversation, starting from a diagram, available data, or an engineering objective. Calculations account for thermodynamics, material and energy balances, equipment behavior, and operating constraints, enabling teams to optimize interconnected equipment and operating conditions across a plant. Equipment sizing and costing, 3D layout planning, and techno-economic analysis connect process improvements to plant-level decisions. Teams can accelerate new process scale-up, debottleneck operating plants, and continually refine operating strategies as production targets and plant conditions change. Dualizer makes rigorous simulation and optimization an ongoing capability for improving industrial productivity and profitability throughout a plant’s life.
