CFD Simulation of Flue Gas Desulfurization
This video shows transient computational fluid dynamics model results for an industrial dry flue gas desulfurization system.
CFD Simulation of an FCC Riser
This video shows the transient, 3D modeling of the thermal and reacting flows inside an FCC riser located on the Arabian Peninsula.
CFD Simulation of a Full-Scale Commercial FCC Regenerator (Full)
A model of a full-scale fluidized catalytic cracking (FCC) regenerator using the Eulerian-Lagrangian CPFD method in Barracuda VR. This video illustrates the use of the Barracuda Virtual Reactor to predict the 100°F afterburn observed at the refinery.
Dense-phase particle engagement into dilute-phase conveyance
This video shows the transient engagement of densely-loaded spent FCC catalyst exiting from the standpipe into a lift riser for transport into an FCC regenerator.
CO Emissions from an FCC Regenerator
This animation was part of a study conducted by a North American refiner using the Barracuda Virtual Reactor to understand and correct the high levels of carbon monoxide (CO) being produced in their FCC regenerator.
Barracuda Virtual Reactor® validation on FCC catalyst fluidization conducted by PSRI
This video shows Barracuda Virtual Reactor® simulations results on the left, compared with large-scale test data from Particulate Solid Research, Inc. (PSRI) on the right.
CFD for Sorbent-Based Gas Cleanup System
Gas streams from reactors such as gasifiers often have a need to ‘scrub out’ undesirable gas-phase components from the primary product gases. For a gasifier’s syngas this is always sulfur.
CFB Combustor – 3D CFD Virtual Reactor Simulation
This video shows the model of a full-scale, 3D, circulating fluidized bed (CFB) boiler using Barracuda Virtual Reactor®.
October Barracuda Training Class
A Barracuda Virtual Reactor New User Training Class has been scheduled for October 20 – 24, 2014. The class will be held at CPFD Software, located in Albuquerque, NM. The training program focuses on ‘Modeling of Industrial Fluidized Systems using Barracuda Virtual Reactor®’.
CPFD Software Collaborates with IPE for State of the Art Drag Model Improvements
CPFD Software has entered into a collaborative agreement with the Institute of Process Engineering (IPE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) for the purposes of improving physics- and math-based particle drag models for use with the Barracuda Virtual Reactor®.
