Case Study: ICM Inc increases biofuel production with Datacor's CHEMCAD

ICM Inc expands biofuel production with Datacor CHEMCAD using 2 simulations

ICM Inc, a biorefining leader, challenged its Process Engineering Department to evaluate how many additional evaporators were needed to increase production at a biofuel facility. To address this, engineers from ICM used CHEMCAD simulation software from vendor Datacor to model their current operations.

Using CHEMCAD, the engineers calculated heat transfer coefficients from field data and then created a second simulation for increased flow rates. This allowed them to determine the required new surface area and the number of additional evaporators needed. After the new evaporators were commissioned, field data validated that the increased production goals were met. Datacor's CHEMCAD not only provided the solution but also equipped the engineering team with a new tool for evaluating future projects.
