This case study demonstrates how Flownex enabled a complete heat and mass balance for a thermal oxidiser and associated steam generator recuperator. Flownex enabled the engineering team to optimise fuel usage, ensure sufficient oxidation, and size the steam generator efficiently.
The model reduced design risk and provided a reliable platform for evaluating alternative operating scenarios, making Flownex an ideal tool for complex thermal and fluid engineering problems.
