Fluidized beds and other fluid-particle technologies are widely used in the materials and chemical processing industries. Barracuda Virtual Reactor has become the industry standard tool for increasing the reliability and performance of fluid-particle systems, while minimizing the related carbon footprint, emissions, and energy consumption.
Sample application areas in materials and chemicals include:
Such processes typically involve multiple particle species, chemical reactions, high temperatures, strong thermal gradients, particle segregation effects, and limited data availability from operational units. Virtual Reactor simulation is typically used for:
Cement Calciner Meal Drop to Kiln
Webinar Playback: Calciner Case Study
Nakhaei, Wu, Grévain, Jensen, Glarborg, and Dam–Johansen present CPFD simulations for petcoke and solid recovered fuel (SRF) co–firing in a full–scale cement calciner.
In this work, James Parker presents a CPFD model compared with JPL data for the deposition rate, silicon fines production, and temperature distribution within a silane deposition reactor.
In this CPFD Software whitepaper by James Parker, a reactor using solid MGS particles fluidized by hydrogen chloride gas which reacts to form primarily TCS and hydrogen gas is discussed.
FLSmidth utilizes Barracuda Virtual Reactor® from CPFD Software to design, to optimize and scale their unique cement calcination technology while reducing time and cost.
Barracuda Virtual Reactor, CPFD Software’s advanced CFD tool, achieved up to 2x faster performance on NVIDIA’s GH200 Grace Hopper Superchip compared to previous optimal hardware, setting new benchmarks for industrial-scale fluid-particle simulations. These speedups enable more complex and comprehensive reactor modeling, driving innovation in refining, renewable fuels, and other heavy industries.
About This Video From the Conditioning Tower Application Model.
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.
NO emissions from two in–line cement calciners operating with petcoke and coal, respectively, are predicted through CPFD simulation and compared with operational data.
