CPFD Software set to distribute Barracuda in China

CPFD Software LLC, the creators of the Barracuda simulation package for particle-fluid systems, announced the signing of a distribution agreement with Hi-Key Technology to distribute and support Barracuda in China. Barracuda is used by major oil & gas, chemical, petrochemical and power equipment manufacturers for simulating, understanding and optimizing the operation of fluidized systems. Common applications are fluidized catalytic cracking (FCC) reactors and regenerators, fluidized bed reactors (FBRs) for chemical manufacturing, circulating fluidized bed (CFB)boilers in coal-fired power plants, and both coal and biomass gasifiers and chemical looping combustion (CLC).

China is a very promising market for Barracuda, which has applications in several key Chinese industries. With some of the world’s largest coal reserves but very limited oil resources, China has is a leader in the development of clean-coal technologies. Barracuda is a proven CFD solution for clean coal technology development. China has a vibrant chemical industry with technology demands for FBRs, an application where Barracuda has demonstrated significant advantages over traditional CFD tools. Barracuda is already used by global chemical companies for the simulation and design of titanium chlorinators, acrylonitrile reactors, and FBRs used in the production of semiconductor-grade and solar-grade polysilicon.
