The latest CPFD breakthrough, Barracuda Virtual Reactor® or Barracuda VR® continues to be the only software of its kind, built exclusively for one single application: Gas-Particle fluidized reactors. The Barracuda VR software package includes all our models and features, and its unique capabilities have been well validate with both large-scale experimental data and with commercial operating reactors across broad industries. What is Barracuda VR ? A physics-based engineering software package capable of predicting all fluid, particulate-solid, thermal and chemically reacting behavior inside a fluidized reactor in order to maximize its productivity and reliability. What is Barracuda VR’s value to Industry To addresse complex, multi-million dollar issues: Oil refinery shutdown: $1MM per day Reactor emissions control: $20-100 MM per unit Elimination of a pilot plant: $150-250MM How is Barracuda VR used? Reactor operations troubleshooting Reactor reliability and ‘yield’ improvements Reactor scale-up Reactor new design or feedstock change-out Reactor emissions reductions What is Barracuda VR’s Technology Scope? Industrial-scale units, e.g., 10’s of meters in length-scale 3-D physical model, with transient to a steady ‘time-averaged’ solution Fluid flow phenomena, fully coupled to, Particulate-solids phenomena for all ‘dilute-to-dense’ regimes Chemically reacting gaseous and particulate-solid materials Post-processing to quickly and clearly develop solutions Validated against large-scale experiments and industrial units
