This presentation by Adlan Omer demonstrates the Barracuda Virtual Reactor’s powerful applications in the cement industry using multiple examples.

This presentation by Peter Blaser discusses simulation as a means to “look inside” the FCCU, addressing issues such as erosion, catalyst losses, afterburn. Emissions, and catalyst circulation problems.

This presentation by Matthias Schumacher and Martin Weng presents a case study highlighting the successful optimization of a secondary-fuel-fired cement calciner.

This presentation by Dr. John Gabites discusses how the Barracuda Virtual Reactor was used to pursue more efficient operation while minimizing the risk of changes at the Geelong Refinery.

This presentation by Ray Fletcher discusses a case study set forth in CAT-16-17: The Experience of a Team of Experts to Resolve Severe Regenerator Maldistribution, which was presented at the AFPM 2016 Cat Cracker Seminar. Fletcher demonstrates how the Barracuda VR was used to analyze issues.

This presentation by Peter Blaser presents the relationship between simulation and refinery economics, and demonstrates the concepts via industrial case studies from multiple global refiners.

This presentation by Peter Blaser outlines key processes simulated by Barracuda Virtual Reactor, enabling operators to get a virtual “look inside” their FCCU.

This presentation by Peter Blaser presents a case study for an FCC regenerator experiencing severe maldistribution resulting in high afterburn, intermittent catalyst losses and excessive CO and NOx emissions.

This presentation by Sam Clark discusses how numerical simulations of a PSRI cold-flow FCC stripper experiment with subway grating baffles were performed using the Virtual Reactor Simulation and compares the results with measurements from PSRI’s Research Report No.88.
