This article, coauthored by engineers Viva Energy Australia and CPFD Software, outlines how Barracuda Virtual Reactor simulations were used to address a problem that impacted overall refinery economics by tens of thousands of dollars per day.
This paper is focused on how simulation is used as a tool for knowledge management of lessons learned from current and historical FCCU operations.
In this paper, researchers in Poland used CFD software, including Barracuda Virtual Reactor, to predict syngas composition when carbon dioxide is added to the gasifying agent.
The study presents profile measurements and Barracuda simulations of gas emissions, temperature and pressure in a CFBC test rig firing two different bituminous coals.
Researchers in Korea use the MP-PIC method to analyze the effect of various operating parameters on the yield distribution of fast pyrolysis in a bubbling fluidized bed reactor.
In this study by Barracuda Virtual Reactor distributor Adlan Omer alongside Martin Weng, the effect of air distribution from a nozzle grid on the combustion of a CFBC riser is assessed.
