Each year, the chemicals and petrochemicals sector lose millions of dollars mainly because of inefficient manufacturing processes. Although the sector has tried to adopt different analytical techniques and experimental assessments, many of the challenges are still unsolved and are slowing down growth.

However, with adoption of simulation technology, the chemicals and petrochemicals sector is quickly overcoming its challenges and better understanding products and processes.

With ANSYS simulation software, engineers are able to optimize manufacturing processes, lowering wastages and saving time, and resulting in development of energy-efficient, quality systems.

The glass sector is investing heavily in exhaustive research and development (R&D) efforts to discover better ways of using glass, develop more efficient and environmentally-friendly products, optimize recycling processes, and boost energy efficiency in manufacturing sites.

These significant efforts are assisting the sector keep up with technological innovation, leading to the global competitiveness of glass products, and fulfilling customers’ expectations in terms of design, performance, quality, and affordability.

ANSYS has supported R&D programs in the glass sector mainly through optimizing manufacturing processes, improving energy efficiency, and producing cutting-edge products that satisfy customers’ needs.

Process equipment manufacturers face the challenges of increased competition, intensifying regulatory scrutiny, pressures to be cost-effective, and increased customers’ demands for quality, environmentally-friendly, and safe products.

ANSYS simulation software, empowers manufacturers to overcome these challenges and maintain unrivaled competitiveness in terms of quality and innovation.

With ANSYS suite of tools, engineers can design process equipment quicker and more cost-effectively, rather than wasting time and resources developing and experimenting costly prototypes.

In the polymer processing sector, increased focus on reliability, desire for optimized processes, focus on energy efficiency, and increased demand for cost-effectiveness foster the development of innovative systems.

Modelling and simulation is playing a huge role in advancing the developments in polymer processing. For example, engineers usually use simulating software to accurately forecast the polymer material behavior under different conditions.

Furthermore, by using ANSYS simulation tools, engineers are able to ensure reliability in the melting, flow, and mixing processes of the polymer, yielding to quality final products.

Optimizing the manufacturing process, effectively quantifying heat transfer, and replicating the properties of a blend from batch to batch, can also be realized using ANSYS software.

The significance of clean water and correctly treating wastewater cannot be overemphasized. Nonetheless, in most places around the world, this sector is still struggling to develop efficient, economic, and reliable operational facilities.

Therefore, research in water and wastewater sector is fostered by the strong desire to understand what takes place in various processes and the methods to use to achieve optimal results—and simulation technology is proving to be of great benefit.

ANSYS simulation is assisting to drive innovation in this sector by developing efficient water treatment technologies, lowering energy consumption, and ensuring adherence with the tightening government regulations.
