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.
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.
In Barracuda VR, detailed Particle Size Distribution (PSD) information can be obtained from Raw Particle Data files. There are two ways to generate Raw Particle Data files: When setting up…
Evaporation and particle drying are increasingly being used in Barracuda models for a variety of applications, such as Coal and biomass gasifiers and combustors (particle drying) Flue gas desulfurization units…
The issue of particle resolution for small particles is an important consideration that is often overlooked. In order to get adequate spatial resolution of particle positions, it is sometimes necessary…
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®’.
One method of data-mining GMV files is presented in this post. This method relies on converting the GMV files to text format. A warning before we get started: GMV files…
