CFS

CFS - Configured Fireside Simulators for the Power, Chemical and Mineral Industries

REI specializes in computer software models for systems with high temperature reacting flows.
CFS is designed for use by engineers that are not CFD experts. CFS gives the real world engineer the tools needed to optimize and analyze complex furnaces and boilers. CFS models are tailored to the customers’ furnace and accessed through an intuitive Graphical User Interface. The underlying CFD engine uses Reaction Engineering’s robust, state-of-the-art combustion models. CFS runs on PC’s and Unix workstations

CFS models are available for:

Utility and Industrial Boilers (with deposition and in-furnace NOx controls)
Chemical Process & Ethylene Cracking Furnaces (coupling fireside with tubeside performance)
Rotary Kilns, Blast Furnaces, Smelters, Stokers, Thermal Oxidizers, Incinerators and Flares.

Typical applications include:

Low NOx Firing Systems
Co-Firing: coal, gas, oil, biomass
Fuel Blending and Fuel Switching
Burner Balancing and Zonal Firing
Staged Air (OFA/MFA/UFA) and Oxygen Injection
NOx control strategies (SNCR, SCR, FGR, FLGR)
Corrosion
Air Toxics

Reaction Engineering's computational models emphasize the coupling between turbulent fluid mechanics, gas and particle phase reactions, radiation, turbulent particle dispersion and NOx chemistry. Recent model additions include: CBK char burnout; char nitrogen chemistry that includes influence of the local free stream NO concentration; pyrite oxidation and deposition; kinetically limited gas phase sulfur chemistry; transient flow; adaptive grids; desgin optimization.
