Situation
• Flow phenomena are of decisive importance for the optimisation of
  industrial processes
• The investigation of flow conditions at a plant or facility is often,
   if at all possible, very time-, effort- and money-consuming.

Our services
• Numerical simulations by means of Computational Fluid Dynamics
  (CFD), which take into account:
  > real plant dimensions
  > real materials data from the systems involved
  > multiphase flow including phase changes and fluid-structure interaction
  > simultaneously occurring of physical processes

Operational benefits
• Swift and cost-effective realisation of design- and process-related
  measures to:
  > increase plant and equipment efficiency
  > improve product quality
  > increase the yield
  > shorten the process duration
  > conserve energy and input materials
