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.
We assist refineries worldwide by addressing FCCU problems related to emissions, catalyst circulation, erosion/reliability, afterburn, and catalyst losses, reducing the risk associated with troubleshooting or planning changes to the FCCU or components. The same technology is also utilized for other downstream applications including ebullated bed reactors, plastic recycling technologies, polyolefin production, catalytic dehydrogenation systems, and more.
The Virtual Reactor technology can be accessed via software licensing, services, or custom collaborative arrangements.
