This paper by Raj Singh, Paul Marchant, and Steve Shimoda at TechnipFMC discusses how to use Barracuda Virtual Reactor to improve spent catalyst distribution in FCC regenerators.
To grasp the diffusion law of the unloading dust and reduce the amount of dust discharged, the Barracuda Virtual Reactor and similarity experiments were used to study the dust generation and diffusion principle under different unloading conditions
Researchers use Barracuda Virtual Reactor to predict particle flow behaviors under different operating conditions
This simulation study the University of Western Ontario demonstrates the scalability of chemical looping combustion (CLC) to achieve efficient capture of biomass-derived CO2.
Application of a newly designed spent catalyst distributor improves spent catalyst distribution, coke combustion and bed temperatures in the FCC in this article by Raj Singh, Paul Marchant and Steve Shimoda of TechnipFMC Process Technology.
This publication by SABIC provides insights into improving fluidization behavior by way of a systematic approach to determine the underlying root causes of issues in a commercial dehydrogenation reactor.
Surprises are not always a good thing, especially during plant turnarounds. This article, from the September 2019 issue of Hydrocarbon Engineering, discusses how simulations can be a critical turnaround risk reduction tool.
Experiment on the air gasification of biomass in a bubbling fluidized bed reactor was performed in a pilot-scale reactor located at the University of South-Eastern Norway (USN).
In this paper, researchers used Barracuda Virtual Reactor to optimize the coal feed locations for a dual circulating fluidized bed reactor for chemical looping combustion.
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.
