Business Benefits

  • Barracuda Virtual Reactor replaces with advanced physics-based computer simulations the typical trial and error exploratory procedures of ‘just going ahead’ with expensive hardware modifications or changes in reactor operations
  • VR provides you with high confidence and is an ‘insurance policy’ that proposed hardware or process changes will actually perform as expected; and it even reveals the ‘why’ these will fail or work
  • VR when employed in concert with your engineering staff will help to ensure your fluidization unit receives the maximum financial benefits from
    • Reliability improvements, component lifetime extension with reduced erosion
    • Hardware upgrades work together and as expected
    • Product ‘yields’ are maximized
    • Changes to feedstocks, catalysts and operating ranges have no surprises
    • Reactor scale-ups or turn-downs perform as promised
    • Minimize emissions and reduce need for costly ‘scrubbing’ hardware

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.
