KilnSimu

A stylized illustration shows a red rotary kiln tube secured by gray support rings on the left, transitioning into a light blue laptop on the right. A dark blue dongle is plugged into the laptop's USB port. The laptop screen prominently displays the text "KilnSimu," indicating the connection between the rotary kiln's operation and the simulation software. The minimalistic design emphasizes the link between industrial processes and digital simulation tools.

An entire kiln in your computer: Optimize your process with KilnSimu!

KilnSimu is a powerful rotary kiln simulation software developed jointly by VTT Chemical Technology and GTT-Technologies. It is designed to optimize rotary kiln processes in various industries, providing engineers with the tools needed to increase efficiency, improve productivity, and precisely model thermal processes.
Unlike traditional CFD models that focus on three-dimensional flow dynamics, KilnSimu uses advanced kiln simulation capabilities to provide insight into the chemical composition and phase transformations that occur along the kiln.
By implementing KilnSimu’s rotary kiln simulation software, companies can achieve better operational efficiencies, reduce risks, and address potential issues early in the design phase. KilnSimu empowers engineers to make data-driven decisions by providing deep insight into process interactions and dependencies.

Our thermodynamic expertise tailored for your kiln applications.

KilnSimu combines advanced material modeling with extensive database capabilities to simulate and refine production processes.
