CFD Process Modeling Software and Consulting for Pharmaceutical
and Chemical Industry
Computer aided engineering (CAE) in process modeling and
equipment design has become an important factor for Pharmaceutical
applications and
Process Analytical Technology (PAT).
CAE complements existing testing methods by reducing costs and
improving quality. CAE can also be used for scale-up studies.
Since 1985, Technalysis has been providing CAE engineering
services and software and accumulated considerable experience using
CAE for Pharmaceutical, Chemical and Food process modeling and
equipment design.

Benefits of Process modeling
- Provide an understanding of complex fluid flow and heat
transfer processes.
- Enable chemists or engineers to observe in detail the
workings inside equipment that would be difficult to measure.
- Provide flexibility by observing the effect of changing a
design and / or process parameter
- Provide predictive tool for scale-up problems
- Achieve significant cost savings by minimizing the number of
tests to be performed to achieve desired results
- Improve process control trough better understanding of the
system
