    Johnson Matthey Catalysts uses computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modelling to simulate process equipment performance under changing conditions. CFD modelling can analyze velocities, temperatures, and compositions within complex parts of equipment like steam reformers. The models have been validated and can help understand issues like flue gas flow, combustion mixing, and catalyst support systems. Benefits of CFD modelling include a clear understanding of complex flows, expert application of tools, and potential for redesigns to improve plant operation.

    Process Modelling
    Computational Fluid Dynamics
    In a modern ammonia plant it is important to
    Example of CFD Modelling
    understand how key process equipment
    Catalyst inlet temperatures in a secondary reformer...
    will perform at changing conditions.
    Johnson Matthey Catalysts has many years of
    experience in using Computational Fluid
    Dynamics (CFD) to simulate the behaviour of
    fluids in complex parts of the process
    equipment. The technique uses rigorous
    modelling to calculate velocities, temperatures
    and compositions of the process streams.
    These simulations can be used to understand
    such phenomena as mixing, combustion and
    fluid distribution.
    Johnson Matthey Catalysts CFD capability is
    built from commercial software that has been
    extended and customized better to suit the
    needs of an ammonia plant. The models have CFD Modelling to Show Flows in a
    been validated through detailed studies and Process Header
    measurement of actual plant conditions.
    The Johnson Matthey Catalysts CFD
    modelling techniques are normally used by
    experienced engineers to address such issues
    as:

    • fluegas flow in steam reformers


    • combustion and mixing in secondary
    reformers
    • gas distributors in catalyst reactors
    • catalyst support and gas collector
    systems

    Flue Gas Distribution in a Large Steam Reformer Johnson Matthey Catalysts direct experience with
    CFD techniques for process modelling has
    identified the following benefits:

    • clear understanding of complex flow


    situations
    • expert application of modelling tools
    • potential for redesign to improve plant
    operation
