Ally Power Presents: “Simulation of a Novel Clean Hydrogen Production Process Using Virtual Reactor’s new Vapor-Liquid-Solid Capabilities
At the CPFD Software Annual User Conference, Ahmed Mahmoud presented on the “Simulation of Novel Clean Hydrogen Production Process Using Virtual Reactor’s New Vapor-Liquid-Solid Capabilities.” This innovative approach leverages the advanced capabilities of Virtual Reactor to simulate the complex interactions between vapor, liquid, and solid phases in Ally Power HERS reactor system. By accurately modeling these interactions, we can optimize the process parameters, enhance efficiency, and reduce the environmental impact of hydrogen production. This simulation provides valuable insights into the behavior of the system under various conditions, paving the way for more sustainable and efficient hydrogen production methods.
Virtual Reactor Simulation & Modeling Capabilities
The new Vapor-Liquid-Solid capabilities of Virtual Reactor are a game-changer in the field of process simulation. These capabilities allow for a more detailed and accurate representation of the multiphase flow dynamics, which are critical in hydrogen production. By incorporating these advanced features, we can better predict the performance of the reactor, identify potential bottlenecks, and implement strategies to mitigate them. This not only improves the overall efficiency of the process but also contributes to the development of cleaner and more sustainable energy solutions.

What This Means for the Future
Ally Power will leverage the past seven months of modeling and simulation to save over $500,000 and cut the commercialization timeline by 50%. Ally Power’s clean hydrogen technology is a triumph not only for industries but also for the planet. By decarbonizing hard-to-abate sectors, we are making significant strides in reducing global carbon emissions and combating climate change. This project underscores our commitment to sustainability and our belief in the power of innovation to create a better world.
About CPFD
CPFD Software is advancing multiphase simulation and technology. CPFD’s flagship product, Barracuda Virtual Reactor®, is a physics-based engineering software package that simulates the three-dimensional, transient, fluid-particle hydrodynamics, heat balance, and chemical reactions in industrial fluidized bed reactors and other fluid-particle systems. Virtual Reactor™ enables researchers and engineers working with fluid/particle processes to explore a broad range of ideas, reduce physical testing costs, and minimize development risk, all while accelerating commercialization, scale-up, and overall time to market. For clients who already operate industrial units, Virtual Reactor allows engineers to determine the root cause of underperformance, reduce the risk of changes through virtual testing, and optimize solutions, all while maximizing reliability, uptime, and regulatory compliance initiatives.
