GDW Rhodius KMS:
Your Key to Process Optimization
An optimal theoretical design is one thing – its confirmation in practice is another. That’s why we create a reliable data foundation in our technical center through accurate measurement and analysis values for selecting your perfect separation solution. Using flow simulations (CFD), we identify optimization potential to effectively lower your operating costs. We conduct our analyses not only in our in-house lab, but also on-site at your plant using mobile test rigs when needed.
How the Technical Center Works
A wide range of equipment allows our specialists to analyze material mixtures both in our in-house technical center and directly in your process on-site at the plant. The measurement and analysis values obtained by our experts form the basis for selecting your optimal separation solution!
Flow Simulation via SOLIDWORKS
The software is based on the principles of numerical fluid dynamics (CFD) and is the perfect tool for the individual analysis of different fluid flows. After modeling the 3D flow environment, process conditions can be reproduced and simulated even during the development phase. Insights gained from complex flow studies can be used to derive geometric changes for the design. For example, flow-unfavorable areas that cause high pressure loss can be identified and optimized. Ultimately, this helps to significantly reduce operating costs.
Generating Key Insights in Separation Technology
To ensure that a mesh separator works correctly during liquid-liquid separation or the removal of aerosol droplets from a gas stream, it is essential to maintain an optimal operating speed. If, for example, the speed is too low in gas-liquid applications, the separation efficiency drops noticeably. If the speed is too high, there is a risk of droplet carryover and flooding of the separator. The flow simulation provides both visual and quantitative results to detect local velocity extremes across the separator cross-section.
