MORE ABOUT THIS SOLUTION BRIEF

In the intricate landscape of industrial operations, a profound understanding of the application of heat transfer can greatly enhance process and equipment performance. Notably, specific situations like thermal cycling, thermal soaking, or hollow reactor enclosures highlight the crucial role of radiation.

This briefing introduces an innovative approach by Akselos to integrate cavity radiation heat transfer into their state-of-the-art digital twin suite, improving simulation accuracy and enabling operators to apply these radiation principles in operational environments.

Whether you are a refinery operator or refinery manager, you aim to maximise economic asset performance safely for your staff and equipment. With Akselos refinery solutions deployed across your site, you can achieve this by leveraging unprecedented integrity insights with our Digital Twins, powered by our hybrid Finite Element Analysis and Reduced-Basis Finite Element Analysis (RB-FEA) solvers.

Akselos Digital Twins provides unique asset insights for more informed decision-making that drive better business outcomes. We do this with simulation technology that is 1000x faster than legacy approaches. This enables us to model and simulate entire assets at the centimetre/millimetre level of detail at the speed of operations so that you can get actionable insights.
