DARS (or Digital Analysis of Reaction Systems) is a new tool that enables the analysis of complex chemistry in Engineering applications.  Its main benefit is that it delivers years of expertise in developing and optimizing chemistry with several reactor tools in a modern software environment.  This combination puts it at the forefront of efficiency, ease-of-use, and flexibility in the world of simulating complex kinetic mechanisms.  DARS has been deployed across a range of industries and application areas: from Automotive to Power Generation, Electronics to CPI, and Environmental to Appliances.  If you are interested in understanding and quantifying:

• Non-equilibrium gas-phase species;
  
• Surface chemistry;
  
• Material properties;
  
• Energy release rates;
  
• By-products (such as soot or H2O);
  
• Process conditions (temperatures and pressures);
  

for chemically reacting systems, DARS can help.  It enables you to develop efficient, reduced reaction mechanisms for realistic analysis of industrial applications, in an easy-to-use and flexible environment.
