Catalytic Converters

CFDRC has developed software tools and models to simulate catalytic converters for use in gas turbines, automotive, fuel cell, and environmental applications. Modeling for catalytic converters includes:
  • Flow
  • Conjugate Heat transfer
  • Complex Chemistry
  • Mechanism Development with Computational Chemistry

CFDRC can use our expertise to help:

  • Reduce Costs
    • Reduce catalyst loading (better utilization of catalyst by changing monolith design)
    • Replace precious metals with other catalysts
    • Improve geometric design of convertor to yield better performance
  • Reduce Catalyst Poisoning
  • Improve Selectivity (Performance)

Please Contact us to discuss your specific needs.
