Application Brief: HEEDS Optimization of Steam Usage for a Chemical Process
|
HEEDS Professional was used with the Aspen Plus 2006
simulation tool to minimize the cost of producing Dichloromethane
(DCM), a common chemical byproduct that can be used as a solvent and in
the production processes of certain food products (such as decaffeinating coffee).
HEEDS successfully designed the process to use 14% less steam as compared to the baseline design, while at the same time meeting the constraint on the concentration of Dichloromethane in the effluent stream. Read the entire brief (PDF, 152KB) |
| Announcement: New HEEDS Distributor in China |
|
We are pleased to announce that Turing has signed on as our official HEEDS distributor in China. We look forward to working
closely with the Turing team to better serve our HEEDS customers in China.

| Customer Success Story: Linktech
|
When Linktech discovered a unique approach to
bonding UHMWPE to other substrate materials, the engineering experts at Red
Cedar Technology helped them better understand their invention and get
it patented. This patented process
is now branded as Essnar for bulk material handling and OceaPoly for
environmentally safe marine applications.
Applying advanced analysis and design optimization
technologies, Red Cedar Technology developed new concepts and specific product designs for several
applications of Linktech's process, which helped Linktech break into new
markets ranging from food manufacturing equipment (Kellogg's and General Mills)
to ship building (U.S. Navy, U.S. Army and marine manufacturers worldwide).
"Red Cedar Technology has provided all of our
advanced engineering analysis and design for the past eight years. They are a great team to work with." - Bruce Linker, President, Linktech

Consulting Services: Innovative Solutions to Your Challenging Engineering Problems
|
"The
folks at Red Cedar are professional, intelligent, and exciting to work
with. With their help, we were able to optimize an extrusion design
by reducing mass significantly further than with traditional CAE methods."
- Dan Casey, P.E., Senior Applications Engineer, Steelcase
Red Cedar
Technology provides the CAE design, analysis and optimization services your company needs to gain a competitive advantage in a crowded market.
The
design and manufacture of new products requires development teams to satisfy a
myriad of conflicting objectives, including rapid increases in design
complexity, time-to-market demands, performance requirements, and material costs. Additionally,
in today's tightening economy, maintaining a full range of in-house
engineering expertise is not cost effective for some departments or companies. But failing to
improve products and processes is not acceptable either.
Red Cedar
Technology's engineering services provide you with the latest technology and
expertise required to achieve innovative designs while reducing product development
time and cost. Our
consulting services include computer-aided engineering (CAE) modeling,
analysis, design optimization, and software customization - from the concept
stage through final design.
