Addressing the challenges of chemical processes
Chemical processes involve complex phenomena such as chemical reactions, mass transfer, multiphase flows, and electrochemical phenomena. Numerical simulation makes it possible to analyze these mechanisms in order to improve process performance, optimize yields, and reduce the need for testing phases.
Over the course of its projects, SIMTEC has worked on numerous applications in the fields of chemistry, electrochemistry, and process engineering.
Applications in electrochemistry
We support our clients in the development and optimization of electrochemical processes, including:
- pH measurement and conductivity measurement;
- cathodic protection of metal structures;
- electrolysis cells, including the modeling and optimization of their operation in order to improve Faradaic efficiency (current efficiency).
These studies help improve the performance of installations, reduce energy consumption, and optimize operating parameters.
Multiphase processes and chemical reactors
SIMTEC also works on numerous issues related to process engineering, including:
- multiphase solutions, with the study of the concentrations of the different chemical species;
- analysis and optimization of the mixing of several phases;
- continuous chemical reactors;
- semi-continuous reactors;
- batch reactors.
These applications make it possible to study reaction kinetics, mass transfer, and operating conditions in order to improve process productivity and quality.
From understanding to process optimization
Chemical processes are present in many industrial sectors, such as specialty chemicals, energy, metallurgy, surface treatment, materials, and hydrogen technologies.
The studies carried out by SIMTEC make it possible in particular to:
- improve process efficiency;
- optimize operating conditions;
- homogenize mixtures;
- better control the concentrations of chemical species;
- reduce energy consumption;
- ensure reliable operation of installations.
SIMTEC supports industrial companies in the development and optimization of high-performance, reliable chemical processes adapted to the requirements of each application.
