CPFD Software is pleased to support the American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers’ 2016 Cat Cracker Seminar, August 23-24, 2016 at the Royal Sonesta Hotel in Houston. This seminar provides a…
This presentation by Ray Fletcher is part one of a two-part presentation that explores how to extract key data from Barracuda Virtual Reactor simulation results.
In this research the solids flux measurements showed the risers having different shapes of radial profiles. The net solids flow direction at all radial locations was found to be upward for the conditions used in this study.
Ray Fletcher, FCC Technology Specialist at Johnson Matthey, describes some of the challenges faced when attempting to troubleshoot FCC regenerators and how Barracuda Virtual Reactor helps him to overcome those obstacles.
