HP Awards 2019 Best Fluid Flow Technology

Best Fluid Flow Technology Finalists: 

CPFD Software, Barracuda Virtual Reactor®

The Barracuda Virtual Reactor® is a physics-based engineering software package capable of predicting all fluid, particle solid, thermal and chemically reacting behavior inside a fluidized reactor to maximize its productivity and reliability.

FOX THERMAL, FT4X Thermal Mass Flowmeter

The FT4X thermal mass flowmeter and temperature transmitter features Fox Thermal’s Gas-SelectX, which allows the user to measure different gases accurately. The new flowmeter has a 7-yr history (daily totals, settable contract time to define the contract day, time/date stamped alarm and event logs, power off totalizer and information about the meter’s settings and calibration validation test date) and calibration can be verified in the field with the CAL-V calibration validation test.

YOKOGAWA ELECTRIC CORP., Cavitation Detection System

Pumps used in process and manufacturing plants are often vulnerable to failure from cavitation. In the past, it has been difficult to detect the early signs of cavitation before substantial damage occurs. However, Yokogawa’s new cavitation detection system uses advanced analytics to interpret minute pressure changes stemming from cavitation events, revealing very early cavitation conditions before vibration or noise events are noticed. More importantly, the information can be applied to troubleshoot root causes. This technology enables refiners to save significant amounts of money on maintenance and downtime costs.

2019 Winner: 

Cavitation Detection System, Yokogawa Electric Corp.
