Our three market focuses:
Flow Assurance market
To ensure safe and economical oil and gas processing and transport from the reservoir to point of sale efficient engineering tools are needed. This implies a continuous development and experimental validation of computer simulators for multiphase flow.
Expertise:
- Modelling multiphase flow phenomenon – from micro to MACRO scale
- The impact of surface chemistry
- Hydrates, wax, asphaltenes, scale and sand
- Separation
- Thermodynamics
Multiphase reactors
To design, optimise and scale up multiphase reactors for energy/materials conversion with a strong emphasis on processes with integrated CO2 capture. The validated reactive multiphase modelling by dedicated experiments is used to develop novel reactor concepts and to accelerate the scale up of promising technologies.
Expertise:
- Reactive multiphase flow modelling for the detailed simulation of fluidized and packed bed reactors
- Development of 1D modelling tools for rapid simulation of fluidized and packed bed reactors
- Development and scale up of Chemical Looping technologies
- Multiscale modelling for reactor design and scale up
- DEM-CFD modelling for catalyst design in packed bed reactors
- CFD-Process flowsheet modelling for process design and optimisation
- Dedicated lab scale experiments for
- Demonstration of novel reactor concepts
- Detailed multiphase model validation
- Electrolysis processes
- Magnetohydrodynamics
- Population balance modelling (PBM)
- PBM-Volume of fluid coupling
- Bubble-bubble interaction phenomena
