FINESSE is a state-of-the art two phase program for calculating flow rates, pressures, and temperatures for each branch of a fluid network. It is generally used to analyze and balance single or multiphase flows through piping networks and branching duct systems.


ASC uses FINESSE in conjunction with coal pipe testing to balance coal pipes at power generating stations. Expensive and time consuming trial-and-error balancing is not necessary.  A baseline test, the coal pipe model, and a verification test are all that are necessary to achieve balanced coal pipes.
