Multi-Material Particulate Solids With Discrete Chemistry

Coal & Biomass Gasification

  • Multi-media particles allow any coal composition to be accurately modeled
  • Include temperature-dependent devolatilization CH4, CO, H2O

Coal & Biomass Gasification

Polysilicon FBRs

  • Particle-level CVD chemistry for silicon deposition from silane or trichlorosilane in a fluidized bed reactor
  • Model heating and cooling requirements for the fluidized bed
  • Model direct or hydroclorination FBRsFluidized Bed Reactor

Polysilicon FBRs

FCC Catalyst

  • Discrete particle-level chemistry calculates coke burn-off from spent catalyst during regeneration, and can help reduce NOx/SOx levels with a full-scale regenerator model

FCC Catalyst

Carbon Capture & Gas Cleanup

  • Model adsorption of gases onto sorbent solids with multi-material particles and particle level chemical kinetics
  • Model full-loop CO2 capture systems
  • Optimize sorbent regeneration in sulfur cleanup systems

Carbon Capture & Gas Cleanup

[Barracuda Virtual Reactor results communicate] in such a manner that everybody can actually see [inside fluidization units] with their own eyes... They can see it for themselves and it's not a biased view.  There's no bias in numbers.  It's there, it's black and white, right and wrong, and it's there for everybody to see.  I love the stuff.
