Using Virtual Reactor we’ve explored a wider range of possibilities than we ever could have considered using physical testing for scaling up to industrial size… the digitalisation technology enables us to optimise the energy efficiency and emissions of our cement technologies while also minimising our overall carbon footprint.

This project delivered an excellent outcome, giving us confidence that specific hardware changes would restore the operation of our Cracker to the level we expect – which it did. Our team’s collaborative approach brought together CPFD’s expertise and our refinery knowledge.

We get much more out of our experiments when we compliment them with the CFD modeling, specifically CPFD Software, Barracuda. We have a better understanding of what’s going on. It allows us to see what we can’t see experimentally. And we get more value for our data because of it.

Barracuda is a robust solution for modeling multiphase particle/gas flows, allowing densities up to the particle packing limit, and greater flexibility to include multiple particle materials, size distributions, and chemical reactions. The software is practical for large industrial applications with complex geometry and boundary conditions.
