Featured Services

Computational Fluid Dynamics

Dynaflow applies CFD modeling to optimize fluid flow in water treatment facilities. CFD simulations help visualize and improve fluid distribution within clarifiers, sedimentation tanks, filtration units, and piping networks. By identifying flow inefficiencies, dead zones, and suboptimal mixing conditions, Dynaflow helps plants significantly enhance treatment efficiency, reduce chemical consumption, and maintain consistent water quality. Our CFD analyses have successfully improved plant designs and operations, ensuring optimized equipment performance and substantial energy savings in water treatment and desalination processes.

Surge and Waterhammer Analysis

Pressure surges and waterhammer events pose significant risks to water treatment and desalination plants, potentially damaging equipment and interrupting operations. Dynaflow utilizes surge analysis through specialized software BOSfluids to predict and mitigate transient pressure scenarios. Our analyses help protect critical pumping stations, pipeline systems, valves, and membranes by recommending practical surge protection solutions such as surge vessels, air valves, and optimized valve closure profiles. This analysis is essential for systems transporting seawater or treated water, preventing costly damages and enhancing the reliability of the entire supply chain.

Pulsation Studies

Pulsations arising from reciprocating pumps and compressors can cause damaging vibrations in water treatment and desalination systems. Dynaflow performs detailed pulsation analyses using BOSpulse, quantifying pulsation-induced vibrations and mitigating associated risks. Our targeted recommendations prevent fatigue failures, reduce operational noise, and extend equipment lifespan. By thoroughly assessing pulsation sources and implementing practical solutions, Dynaflow ensures the smooth operation and reliability of critical pumping systems, significantly improving overall plant performance and safety.

Vibration Analysis

Excessive vibrations in pumps, motors, compressors, and piping networks can lead to premature failures, increased maintenance, and costly downtime. Dynaflow provides comprehensive vibration analysis services, proactively identifying and addressing vibration issues. With advanced measurement and analytical techniques, we pinpoint vibration sources, recommend corrective actions, and optimize equipment performance. Our vibration expertise helps water treatment and desalination operators maintain high reliability, reduce maintenance costs, and ensure safe and continuous operations.

Fatigue Analysis

Dynaflow conducts structural fatigue assessments for piping systems, equipment supports, pumps, and storage tanks used in water treatment and desalination facilities. Equipment subjected to cyclic loading and fluctuating pressures faces increased fatigue risks. Our fatigue analyses accurately predict equipment lifespan, identify vulnerable components, and recommend targeted inspection intervals and maintenance strategies. Dynaflow’s fatigue assessment capabilities ensure long-term structural integrity, minimize operational downtime, and extend the operational lifespan of critical water treatment and desalination assets.

Root Cause Failure Analysis

When equipment or piping failures occur, identifying the root cause is essential to prevent recurrence. Dynaflow conducts comprehensive RCFA investigations, systematically analyzing equipment failures, pressure incidents, leaks, or structural issues in water treatment and desalination facilities. Our rigorous approach identifies underlying causes, provides actionable recommendations, and implements effective corrective measures. Dynaflow’s RCFA expertise helps facilities enhance safety, improve operational reliability, prevent future incidents, and continuously optimize asset performance.
