SFILES 2.0: An extended text-based flowsheet representation
Researchers have introduced SFILES 2.0, an enhanced text-based notation for representing chemical process flowsheets. This new version addresses limitations of the original SFILES, enabling unambiguous descriptions of essential configurations and control structures crucial for process operation. The development includes open-source software for converting between graph-based flowsheets and SFILES 2.0 strings, aiming to establish a standard for a FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) database of chemical process flowsheets.
