Search by the outcome you need

Engineers classify projects by industry and equipment. Budget holders classify them by outcome: how much is saved, how much more is processed, how far emissions fall, and which risks are avoided.

Outcome 1

Energy efficiency

Less heat and electricity for the same output. This is the result most easily expressed in financial terms, and the one with the shortest payback among the projects CFDWAYS has delivered.

Ceramic tile plant · Vietnam · 2022–2024

Spray dryer & cyclone train

Payback < 2 years · 5–10% heat saved · 10–20% fan power

How it is achieved

  • An energy audit locates the bottleneck before any simulation
  • CFD quantifies the loss and traces its root cause
  • Retrofit options verified on the model before fabrication
  • KPIs placed under monitoring to track long-term performance
Energy & process optimization →
Outcome 2

Process efficiency

The same equipment processing more, or more uniformly, usually by correcting the flow distribution without uprating the auxiliary equipment.

Thermal power plant · South Korea · 2022

Dry flue-gas desulfurization (FGD)

+50% gas–solid mixing efficiency · −15% pressure loss · model validated to ~5% error
Read the case study →

Typical symptoms

  • Treatment efficiency falls short although chemical dose or heat input is sufficient
  • Fouling, corrosion or wear concentrated on one side
  • Pressure loss higher than the design calculation
  • Product quality varying with position inside the equipment

Outcome 3

Emissions reduction

Meeting the emission limit without excessive loss of efficiency or excessive chemical cost. The removal reaction, however, is effective only within a narrow window of temperature and residence time.

30 MW waste-to-energy plant · South Korea · 2024

Settling the SNCR injection layout before installation

Optimal layout settled before installation · 870–1100°C temperature window · no field trial-and-error
Read the case study →

What CFDWAYS covers

  • SOx removal — dry and wet FGD (capabilities)
  • NOx removal — SNCR and ozone DeNOx (capabilities)
  • Combustion chambers, industrial furnaces and alternative fuels (capabilities)
  • NH₃ co-firing research for thermal power plants — in progress

Outcome 4

Design innovation

This kind of result appears as a risk avoided: the wrong option is eliminated on the model before fabrication.

A shorter trial-and-error loop

Sweep a far wider range of conditions than could be tried on the real equipment, including scenarios that would be unsafe to test in reality.

Settled before fabrication

Injector positions, flow guides, baffles — settled on the model before any hardware is ordered.

Engineering evidence when bidding

For equipment manufacturers: performance curves, operating range and safety margins backed by simulation.
