Fluid flow analysis
The Oil & Gas, Power, and Cement industries rely heavily on structures and components that endure cyclic loading over extended periods. This constant stress and relaxation can lead to fatigue failure, causing significant safety hazards and operational downtime. FEA (Finite Element Analysis) plays a crucial role in analyzing and mitigating fatigue risks for equipment like pipelines supports, pressure vessels, and drilling equipment in Oil and Gas. While in power industry our engineers are working on Boilers. In cement industry we identify fatigue prone areas of Silos and Kiln. FEA is crucial in the Chemical and Process industries as well as in CPG manufacturing. It predicts fatigue life and fracture behavior under cyclic loading and thermal cycling, models chemical reactions within reactors by optimizing reaction conditions and reactor design for efficient scaling up of processes, and aids in designing durable equipment like mixers and conveyors. By identifying potential failure points and optimizing designs, FEA improves safety, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness.
Thermal and Static analysis
Tridiagonal FEA team can predict thermal stresses caused by temperature variations. This is important in oil and gas well casings for withstanding downhole temperature changes. In power generation, it helps analyze stress in turbine blades due to high operating temperatures. Cement kilns also benefit from our FEA's ability to predict thermal stress in refractory linings, preventing cracking and ensuring structural integrity.
FEA helps assess the structural integrity of components under static loads like pressure and weight. Our engineers are using this ability to ensure structural integrity of pressure vessels in Energy sector. Our engineers have deep knowledge of industry standards like ASME and API
For process industries involving heat exchange, FEA can model thermal behavior, including conduction, convection, and radiation. It helps in optimizing heat exchangers, reactors, furnaces, and other thermal equipment for efficient heat transfer and temperature control.
In CPG, FEA can be utilized to analyze heat transfer phenomena in food processing equipment such as ovens, refrigerators, and pasteurizers.
Dynamic analysis and Non-linear
Oil and gas pipelines, power plant structures, and cement silos can experience seismic activity or impact loads. Our FEA engineers simulate these dynamic events, predicting stress and deformation of components to assess vulnerability and design for earthquake resistance. Rotating machinery in power plants and cement factories can generate vibrations. FEA helps identify natural frequencies and potential resonance points by analyzing dynamic response.
