Clark-Koch buys EnSight for visualization; takes advantage of EnLiten for marketing

APEX, N.C., May 31, 2006 – Clark-Koch, a leading petrochemical company based in Brazil, recently purchased CEI’s EnSight to visualize CFD results, and is using free EnLiten software for marketing to current and prospective customers. The sale was made by Engineering Simulation and Scientific Software (ESSS), CEI’s South American distributor and Brazil’s leading supplier of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and finite element analysis (FEA) solutions.

“EnSight’s superior animation capabilities make it the perfect choice for the work we are doing to develop innovative systems for gas-liquid and liquid-liquid separation,” says Nelson Clark, director of Clark-Koch. “A major bonus for us is the ability to embed EnLiten scenarios, which allows us to market our products through sophisticated 3D animations, printed pieces and PowerPoint presentations.”

EnLiten is a collaborative visualization tool that enables EnSight users to save their work in a scenario file embedded with the actual EnLiten application. The file can then be sent via e-mail or posted on a web site for downloading by associates, who use EnLiten’s simple graphics interface to manipulate 3D models and view animations from different perspectives.

EnSight has already emerged as a key tool in helping Clark-Koch continue to meet customers’ needs for separation systems used in chemical and petrochemical processes. Clark-Koch is the sole licensee in South America of the Demister mist eliminator for gas-liquid separation. The company also develops environmentally safe systems that enable separation and recovery of immiscible liquids. Clark-Koch uses ANSYS CFX software as its CFD solver.
