Application Model Overview In cement production, preheating and cooling steps play a vital role in optimizing energy use and ensuring the longevity of equipment. A key component in this process…
CPFD Software supports a collaborative effort with Molten Industries and US Steel to eliminate carbon emissions from iron reduction. This innovative approach uses renewable energy to produce hydrogen and solid graphite, offering a 75% reduction in energy intensity compared to alternative technologies.
This presentation provides an example of alternative fuel process engineering in an existing South-American cement plant. Barracuda Virtual Reactor was applied to predict the reacting gas-solid flow behavior in the calciner part and engineer feeding points and necessary geometry adaptations.
This video shows Barracuda Virtual Reactor simulation results for the transient, multiphase, gas-particle dynamics inside a vortexing circulating fluidized bed (VCFB).

After installation the plant confirmed that CO emissions were reduce over 70%, with a 22% increase in non-fossil fuel substitution. Return on investment was less than 6 month payback.
This article illustrates that methane pyrolysis is an important emerging technology that presents an economically attractive hydrogen production process with zero CO2 emissions.
CPFD’s support team is the best I’ve ever worked with. Not only do they respond quickly (unlike other engineering software where I’ve waited weeks for a response), but they are extremely helpful and knowledgeable about both their software and fluidization.
