Benefits of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Finite Elements Method (FEM) in Process Industries

In process Industries, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and the Finite Element Method (FEM) are used for simulation and analysis, offering significant advantages in design, optimization, and problem-solving. CFD focuses on fluid flow and heat transfer, aiding in tasks like optimizing reactor designs, studying mixing, and analyzing equipment performance. FEM, on the other hand, excels in structural analysis, predicting how products react to forces, vibrations, and heat, helping to refine designs and improve performance.

Key Projects

Mechanical and Structural design of Disk baffle for Oligomerisation reactor

We executed this project for a SABIC Petrochemical plant located in Al Jubail, Saudi Arabia. The proposed disk baffle is expected to serve the function of separating the condensate in the Oligomerisation reactor. We developed the conceptual model of the disk baffle using our expertise in core mechanical design and optimized the design using Finite Element Analysis (FEA). We provided detailed fabrication drawings to the customer and supported them during Fabrication process. Read More

CFD analysis of Helical Agitator

Helical agitators are a type of mixing equipment consisting of ribs or blades arranged in the form of a helix. This design creates axial motion and vigorous fluid motion inside a vessel. It is often used to mix viscous materials. The helical agitator is commonly used for low Reynolds number industrial mixing. The helical design of these agitators generates high shear rates and ensures thorough mixing of materials with different densities and viscosities. Helical agitators are used in polymer industries and other industries that require the use of quite viscous materials. Read More

CFD analysis of anaerobic Bio digester-Multiphase flow CFD analysis

. Effective mixing within the digester promotes biological, chemical, and physical uniformity, preventing the creation of dead zones that hinder substrate conversion. Insufficient mixing can lead to reduced digester performance, while excessive mixing may disrupt the digestion process due to high shear forces. Therefore, it is essential to thoroughly understand and examine the optimal mixing techniques in anaerobic digesters. Read More

CFD Analysis of Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer

Regenerative thermal oxidizers, commonly referred to as RTOs, are essential in the effective and economical removal of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from industrial emissions. These thermal oxidizers are specialized combustion systems incorporated into the ventilation of industrial operations that produce potentially harmful pollutants. Read More
