Advanced simulation models

At K-INN Tech, we develop advanced simulation models, validated with internal experimental data and/or industrial data provided by clients. These models are primarily applied to the study of chemical reactivity and include kinetic analyses that integrate mass and energy transfer phenomena, which are crucial elements in industrial plants.

The results of our simulations allow us to accurately predict system performance in terms of chemical activity, combined with distributions of velocity, temperature, and pressure. We develop both steady-state and transient models, with geometries ranging from zero-dimensional to full 3D.

Another area of specialization is non-catalytic reactions involving solids, such as pyrolysis, gasification, torrefaction, and smouldering. Our objective is always to gain a deep understanding of the phenomena occurring within the system to achieve optimal performance on an industrial scale.

Our expertise in studying homogeneous reactions is focused on combustion chemistry and gas-phase reactions, where detailed mechanisms comprising hundreds of elementary reactions are managed using codes developed with CHEMKIN or Cantera.

We analyze both diffusive and premixed flames, with a particular focus on pollutant chemistry. We specialize in identifying rate-limiting steps within complex reaction networks and developing simplified reaction rate models, ideal for CFD simulations and transient analyses.
