CPFD Software, together with KWT Solution Inc., are hosting a workshop focused on emerging applications of fluidization technology, taking place on Friday, March 20, 2026 in Daejeon.
This workshop focuses on newer applications such as hydrogen/ammonia, plastic recycling, gasification (waste and biomass), carbon capture, and material processing (lithium, graphite, graphene, rare earth). Presentations from guest speakers including PSRI, industry, and academia, span topics including:
- Overview of emerging application areas
- Accelerating commercialization and scale-up via simulation
- Case studies and examples
- The role of AI, machine learning, and reduced order modeling
- Panel discussion on local tends
Engineers, managers, and others are encouraged to attend to learn about the versatility of fluidization for broad and emerging application areas, and how software complements cold-flow, pilot and demonstration plant data to accelerate scale-up while reducing risk.
The workshop takes place at the Hotel Onama (1 Expo-ro, Yuseong District, Daejeon, South Korea). To learn more, or register, please email KWT Solution (hjlee@ktwsolution.com) or contact us today.
Workshop attendees seeking a deeper understanding are also encouraged to join PSRI’s four-day Fluidization Seminar, taking place March 16-19 at the same venue, which provides a detailed training spanning fundamental principles to advanced operational techniques.
About CPFD Software
CPFD Software is advancing multiphase simulation and technology. Our flagship product, Barracuda Virtual Reactor®, is a physics-based engineering software package that simulates the three-dimensional, transient, fluid-particle hydrodynamics, heat balance, and chemical reactions in industrial fluidized bed reactors and other fluid-particle systems.
Virtual Reactor™ enables researchers and engineers working with fluid/particle processes to explore a broad range of ideas, reduce physical testing costs, and minimize development risk, all while accelerating commercialization, scale-up, and overall time to market. For clients who already operate industrial units, Virtual Reactor allows engineers to determine the root cause of underperformance, reduce the risk of changes through virtual testing, and optimize solutions, all while maximizing reliability, uptime, and regulatory compliance initiatives.
The Virtual Reactor technology can be accessed via software licensing, services, or custom collaborative arrangements.
