DESCRIPTION

This simulator solves the PBE to evaluate the evolution of particle size distributions due to coating, aggregation, breakage, attrition and nucleation processes. The simulator can be adapted to calculate distributions with respect to other particle properties.

APPLICATIONS

Granulators | Crushers/mills | Dryers | Crystallizers | Any process involving particle size (or other property) change

ADVANTAGES

• Valid for both batch and continuous systems
• Able to use any type of discretization grid (e.g., geometrical,
arithmetical) and number of size classes
• May handle any kind of size change mechanism, either alone or in combination
• Suitable for any kinetic law of particle size change
