Case Studies
Prediction and Measurement of Multi-Tip Flare Ignition
Waiting for case study in document format, but here are two videos and a PDF download! Continue reading
Development of Kinetic Based Model
Our client is fabricating and designing state-of-the-art fuel cells for industrial applications. Their technology used a catalyst to strip off hydrogen atoms from natural gas for use in the fuel cell. In order to control the process, knowledge of light-off position was critical. Continue reading
Design and Operation of Process Development Facility
A client wanted to investigate the potential of a new chemical conversion process. Kinetic modeling of the process indicted that potential yields in excess of 30% were possible, though previous efforts had only achieved 20% yields. Continue reading
Design Assistance for Fired Heaters
A western E&C firm was given the task of design and fabrication of three fired heaters. SAS was contracted to ensure that process conditions could be achieved in the furnaces. Continue reading
Noise Reduction in Petrochemical Facility
A western chemical plant was experiencing excessive noise from a reactor and causing numerous problems with plant neighbors. Working with plant personnel, SAS modeled the system and first corrected flow distribution problems.
Follow-on analysis indicated that the reactor itself was producing the noise via a Riejke-tube phenomenon. Continue reading
