SUMMARY:Hi-Key Technology Online Training - CFB Firing Coal and Biomass: A CPFD study\, October 17th\, 2024
DESCRIPTION:Beijing Hi-key Technology Co. Ltd.\, is CPFD Software’s distributor in the People’s Republic of China. If you are located there and are interested in attending a training\, please email them here. \nAs the world pays more and more attention to energy security and environmental protection\, finding a clean and efficient way to utilize energy has become an important issue. As a traditional energy source\, pulverized coal will produce a large amount of carbon dioxide and other pollutants during its combustion process. As a renewable energy source\, biomass has the advantage of zero carbon emissions\, and the ash after combustion is rich in nutrients and can be used in agricultural and forestry production. Therefore\, the blending of pulverized coal and biomass can reduce environmental pollution and promote sustainable development while ensuring energy supply. The blending of pulverized coal and biomass is mainly based on the complementary combustion characteristics of the two. Biomass has a high volatile content\, a low ignition point\, and is easy to burn; while pulverized coal has a high fixed carbon content\, stable combustion but large pollutant emissions. After mixing the two in a certain proportion\, the volatile matter of biomass can promote the ignition and combustion of pulverized coal and improve combustion efficiency; at the same time\, the combustion stability of pulverized coal can make up for the fluctuations in the combustion process of biomass and reduce the occurrence of unstable phenomena such as flameout. \nBarracuda is a simulation tool specifically designed for industrial-scale particle fluidization and chemical reactions. It can be used to simulate the process of coal powder and biomass blending to guide the design and optimization of related equipment\, greatly accelerate the R&D process\, and significantly reduce R&D costs and risks.

SUMMARY:SPE-GCS CFD Group 2024 Annual Symposium\, August 22\, 2024
DESCRIPTION:CPFD Software is excited to be a Silver Sponsor for the Society of Petroleum Engineers – Gulf Coast Section\, CFD Group’s Annual Symposium. This year’s session is subtitled “AI Accelerated Physics Based Modelling and its Role in Energy Industry”. \nArtificial Intelligence is transforming how we use computing power to solve complex problems. Incorporating AI tools within Physics Based Models is an emerging area which can enable the solution of so far unsolved problems in many application domains\, including energy industry. Machine learning has shown promising outlook to several challenging problems in CFD\, such as the identification and extraction of hidden features in large-scale flow computations\, finding undetected correlations between dynamical features of the flow\, and generating synthetic CFD datasets through high-fidelity simulations. Attend the symposium to interact with our team and learn more!

SUMMARY:P‍SRI Guest Webinar: The Importance of Knowing Your Cyclone’s FEC for Process Optimization - April 23rd\, 2024
DESCRIPTION:The fractional efficiency curve (FEC) for an operating cyclone is one of the primary metrics that describes how the cyclone is performing. In this presentation we will discuss what the FEC is\, how it is measured\, and how it is utilized in cyclone design. PSRI will also discuss how the FEC not only directly impacts emissions but particle size distributions (PSDs) of the particulate matter in process systems. Many members of PSRI utilize cyclones in processes that utilize fluid beds and other mass circulations of particulate at the heart of those processes. In these types of circulating systems\, the effects of the FEC are magnified resulting in the cyclone acting as primarily a “particle size control” device.
