Abstract
The incorporation of advanced analysis tools, such as CFD, into the prorcess plant design process has become possible trough advances in commercially available computational fluid dynamics software and faster computer. Multiphase modelling is now typically employed in the design phase of process plant design at Hatch. The additional rigour allows process engineers to come close to realising true virtual plant design. The objective of this paper is to outline the benefits and pitfalls in the application of multipahse modelling for rigerous design. Several application examples in the hydrometallurgical field will be presented.
