On Wednesday December 13, 2006 CD-adapco will be holding an interactive webinar entitled “Powerful Flow Simulation for Oil & Gas Separation Technology.”

The seminar will focus on the competitive advantage that can be gained through the application of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to separator design and operation, and will provide a range of compelling examples that clearly illustrate demonstrate how flow simulation can reduce cost and increase the efficiency of separation processes, including retrofitting existing separators and preventing damage due to sloshing loads.

Computational Fluid Dynamics (or CFD) is a technique that simulates the behavior of fluids using computer technology. CD-adapco’s flow and thermal simulation technology can provide insight into any problem that involves fluid flow (liquid or gas or combinations of both) and has been applied at every stage of the oil and gas production process – from exploration to extraction, from transport to processing, however CFD is becoming an increasingly essential tool in helping to design separators that will satisfy future legislative and economic requirements.

CFD enables the designers and operators of separation equipment to visualize the complex flow processes that occur within a separator and to determine exactly how effectively that separator will perform under a range of operating conditions. By applying CFD technology early in the design process, separator manufacturers are able to optimize the performance of a separator, long before the first physical prototype is ever created.

The webinar will include a live demonstration of CD-adapco’s simulation technology applied to a real separator problem.

The main focus of this webinar is separation for the Oil and Gas Industry, however the content will address the application of flow-simulation to separators in a wide-range of industries.
