Simulation

At InVerTec, we leverage advanced computational modeling as a powerful extension of our core engineering services. While our primary focus remains on building tangible physical reactors and scaling chemical processes, we utilize comprehensive simulations to validate designs, mitigate risks, and optimize parameters before physical prototyping begins. This digital-first approach ensures that our custom hardware operates exactly as intended from the very first run.

Our Computational Capabilities

• Multiphase Flow & Reactor Modeling — FBR reactors: We utilize OpenFOAM to simulate complex fluid dynamics, bed expansion, and fluidization behavior in Fluidized Bed Reactors (FBR). To ensure industrial reliability, these computational models are strictly correlated and validated against our experimental lab data.
• CFD, Heat Transfer & Microwave Simulation — fluid dynamics and heat transfer: To understand internal reactor conditions, we employ COMSOL Multiphysics and Ansys. This allows us to accurately model complex flow behaviors, pressure drops, and fluid stirring mechanics. Leveraging our specialized expertise in electrothermal technologies, we also conduct coupled electromagnetic and heat transfer simulations to precisely map microwave energy distribution and guarantee uniform volumetric heating without thermal hotspots.
• Custom Optimization Algorithms: Beyond commercial software suites, we develop tailored, Python-based algorithms. These custom scripts allow us to systematically optimize operational setpoints, refine reactor geometries, and precisely calculate residence times and thermal profiles for your unique applications.
• Structural & Mechanical FEA: A reactor must not only perform chemically but also withstand physical and thermal stress. Through our strategic partnership with specialized engineering firms like KS-L CAD Solutions, we integrate comprehensive Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to guarantee the mechanical stability, safety, and structural integrity of our engineered systems.
