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
Dr Tuan Ta joined the 80/20 Engineering team early in 2013 after holding a leading R & D role with Thames Water?s CFD modelling department for over two decades.
The examples opposite show just some of the project experience Dr Ta 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.
