NAPCON FLOW
DYNAMICS
With our customized decision support
systems you are able to make the best
possible choices.
NAPCON Flow Dynamics is a combination of deep process
know-how and modern flow simulation tools. It produces
smart solutions that are based on understanding
the process and the root causes of any disturbances
thoroughly. We have carried out over 180 fluid dynamics
projects - let ’s get you on that l ist of successes!

NAPCON Flow Dynamics is a one stop shop: all
engineering disciplines are available under the
same roof. Our industry expertise and experience
provides smart solutions based on process
understanding from real world point-of-view.

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) allows you
to design and troubleshoot both processes and
equipment faster than traditional methods. CFD
enables you to innovate faster, improve safety,
increase yield and reduce lifecycle costs.
DY N A M I C S I M U L AT I O N A N A LY S I S
Our Dynamic Simulation Analysis allows you to
simulate various types of disturbances and offers
practical solutions to prevent them, allowing you
to prepare for emergency situations.

NAPCON Flow Dynamics allows you to re-think in the
design phase, and spend a reduced amount of time
on the design and troubleshooting process, resulting
in less unforeseen problems, as well as higher efficiency
and increased availability for your plant.

CFD offers a comprehensive root cause analysis which
allows you to truly understand the root causes in
troubleshooting and thus both increase knowledge and
improve performance.
C O N F I R M S A F E T Y
NAPCON Flow Dynamics allows you to define a safe
operational range, the health and environmental effects
of a possible disturbance, and maximum pressure
levels and thermal loads of your equipment - and most
importantly, to prevent disturbances beforehand with
safe design.
