Homogenise a waste mixing tank
Orano can provide its expertise to model the homogeneity of tanks of waste with varying density and particle size containing a liquid-solid two-phase suspension.
-
Homogenising a tank of waste with varying density and particle size requires the following:
- Identify the tank design and efficient blades
- Cover the mechanical loads on the agitation shaft and tank heating
- Minimise agitation energy
- Guarantee suspended solids
- Understand the complex physical phenomena at play: 3D fluid dynamics in a rotating domain, turbulence, fluid-particle and particle-particle interactions.
-
Orano has developed a modelling methodology:
- established using artificial intelligence driven using 1000 simulations
- confirmed by comparing with experimental data from scientific literature and mock-ups especially designed by Orano.
The due representativeness of the method was:
- demonstrated in terms of agitation power and solid concentration profiles in the tank
- confirmed by an independent university audit.
The results obtained can be used for:
- an instantaneous comparison with a precision of ~10%
- quick calculations for pre-sizing studies
- significantly reducing sizing costs in the preliminary stages of projects.
- Expertise in the field of agitation and modelling
- Operational FLUENT physical model applicable to all types of agitated Newtonian suspensions
- Instantaneous AI model with a precision of 10% (in the applicable domain)
