Computer Simulation of Roasting Equipment and Processes

Simulation of the roasting process helps one company:

Assess pilot equipment and implement design improvements Improve quality of product Improve efficiency of existing equipment and processes Test and develop new roasting curves and bring pilot roasts to the production roaster Make operational changes that reduce quantities of gas exhaused up stack and: Reduce energy usage Reduce load on pollution control equipment


	Gas velocity through roaster. (White arrows indicate flow direction.)


Gas temperature.	Product temperature.
