Application Areas
Where ThermoPhys technology creates value across energy and process industries
Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS)
Carbon capture, transport and storage systems involve complex phase behavior across wide pressure and temperature ranges, often in the presence of impurities. Practical challenges include hydrate formation, dry ice conditions, free water condensation, and chemically reactive impurities that can lead to corrosion or acid formation.
Many CO₂ capture processes involve reactive phase equilibria in electrolyte systems, requiring tailored thermo-physical models to accurately represent phase behavior, thermal effects, and composition changes.
Models are selected and implemented based on published scientific literature, validated against experimental data, and applied within clearly defined ranges of validity.
Our software supports consistent analysis of phase behavior, flow-related risks, and safety-critical limits across CCS systems, enabling engineers to evaluate design alternatives and operational strategies with confidence.
Hydrogen Systems
Hydrogen systems are highly sensitive to impurities, operating conditions, and thermodynamic inefficiencies. Impurities can strongly affect phase behavior and safety margins, particularly in systems involving liquefaction. Hydrogen liquefaction is energy-intensive and introduces additional challenges such as ortho-para conversion and cryogenic process constraints.
ThermoPhys enables integrated analysis of hydrogen systems by combining accurate thermo-physical modeling with energy efficiency and safety evaluation. This supports informed engineering decisions related to compression, liquefaction, transport, and storage, where efficiency, safety, and operability are tightly coupled.
Ammonia and Energy Carriers
Ammonia and other energy carriers exhibit complex thermo-physical behavior, including strong non-idealities, phase equilibrium sensitivity, and impurity effects. These characteristics introduce challenges related to phase stability, flow behavior, and safe handling across production, transport, and utilization systems.
ThermoPhys supports robust simulation of ammonia-based systems and other energy carriers, enabling engineers to assess safety constraints, energy efficiency, and operational risks within a physically consistent modeling framework.
Energy & Process Systems
Modern energy and process systems often operate close to physical, safety, and efficiency limits, with strong interactions between unit operations. Cryogenic processes, high-pressure systems, and tightly integrated flowsheets place strict demands on modeling accuracy and consistency.
ThermoPhys enables system-level process simulation where performance, safety constraints, and energy efficiency are evaluated simultaneously. This supports reliable decision-making in complex systems where localized modeling errors can propagate and lead to significant system-level consequences.
