Chromatography Techniques using CFD

Chromatography Techniques using CFD

Chromatography - Some Objectives of Using CAE
Understand effects of distributor and collector designs and process parameters on flow field.
Define a system that provides "plug flow”.
Eliminate back mixing in distribution system

Chromatography Calculations Using Passage Software
Velocity field inside column
Determine flow uniformity, plug flow
Locate channeling & vortexing regions
Back mixing in distributors
Statistical analysis of velocity variations
Degree of velocity variation and percentage of column affected
Performance comparison of different column configurations
