Water Industry Experience
Our engineers first started using CFD with water applications in 1994. Since then we have taken a leading role in introducing CFD technology to the UK water industry. Some of the project experience performed using CFD for water companies include:
- Disinfection Contact Tank/ Clear Well
- Service Reservoir / Storage Tank
- Raw Water Reservoir / Lake
- Sedimentation Tank
- Ozone Tank
- Dissolved Air Flotation Tank
- Flocculation Tank
- Anaerobic Zone
- Valve Cavitation
- Sewage Pump Manifold
- Sewage Pump Suction Chamber
The examples opposite show just some of the project experience 80/20 Engineering has gained and all these cases have been run using Simerics-MP.
80/20 Engineering has become a specialist in CFD for water industry applications and added Simerics-MP to its portfolio of CFD solutions and services in 2010.
