Chemical Injection Modeling Services
Both Air Pollution Control and FUEL CHEM applications involve optimizing the injection of the right amount of the right chemical under the right conditions to achieve desired performance levels. The tools used by our engineers to design these systems have grown from our first use of computational engineering software in 1987 to our sophisticated and always expanding suite of process modeling applications today.
Every Fuel Tech product installation has a custom process model supporting it.
A custom process model is used to simulate the conditions under which our product will operate. A CFD model generates predictions of operating temperatures, velocities and other variables from a virtual replication of real-world geometry and operating inputs. For NOxOUT® and TIFI® Targeted In-Furnace Injection™ applications, the 3D geometry of the combustor/boiler is generated. ULTRA™ models reflect the geometry and dynamics of the urea decomposition chamber and its connection to the customer’s ductwork. NOxOUT CASCADE®, and ASCR™ Advanced SCR models are focused on the distribution of ammonia slip entering a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) catalyst.
Once the base model is generated, it is visualized using our proprietary visualization software.
The software is designed to make explicit to the engineer the complex behaviors typical of combustion flows. Fuel Tech engineers can explore their models from any perspective with the software and return to them throughout the process design. Fuel Tech’s visualization software is also used to engage the customer in the design stage and tap into the expertise of their plant’s experts.
