Optimal Plant Performance Thanks to ELEX: An Overview of Three Key Services

In the world of industrial emissions reduction and process optimization, reliability, precision, and solid expertise are essential. That’s exactly where ELEX comes in – with a comprehensive range of services that help our customers around the globe operate their plants efficiently, safely, and sustainably. Our focus lies on three core services: CFD simulations, dust analysis, and troubleshooting. Each of these offerings is the result of decades of experience and cutting-edge technology.

1. CFD – High-Level Flow Simulation

Using state-of-the-art Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) tools, we simulate and analyze flow processes in both existing and planned systems. Whether it’s gas velocity, pressure distribution, temperature profiles, or particle movement – our simulations deliver precise results that enable targeted optimization.

We cover a wide range of applications, from electrostatic precipitators and complete pipeline routing to complex gas ducts. Thanks to our extensive experience, we know what it takes to ensure balanced gas distribution and therefore the optimal operation of your plant.

When is CFD needed?
Whether you’re planning a new system or optimizing an existing one – we help identify and improve flow-related weaknesses.

Our track record:

  • 25 years of experience
  • 256 GB RAM
  • 6,000,000 cells

2. Dust Analysis – Knowing What’s in Your Dust

To optimally design our electrostatic precipitators, we analyze the dust from your plant in our in-house laboratory. The specific electrical resistance is measured at various temperatures and dew points, allowing us to draw conclusions about emission behavior and energy efficiency.

With a database of over 5,000 measurements, we have deep insight into the interactions between dust properties and filter performance. We use this know-how to assist you in process optimization.

When is dust analysis needed?
For new ESP installations or when existing systems fail to meet emission limits – our analysis provides the key data needed to improve separation efficiency.

Our track record:

  • 91 years of experience
  • 5,000 dust measurements
  • Up to 10¹⁴ Ω*cm specific resistance

3. Troubleshooting – When Time Is Critical

Even the most reliable systems can occasionally experience malfunctions. In such cases, every minute counts. Our troubleshooting service ensures that problems are quickly identified, resolved, and ideally prevented in the future.

Whether you’re facing reduced production performance, increased emissions, or a looming shutdown – our service team is ready to restore your system to normal operation as quickly as possible. With deployments in over 113 countries, we’re at your service worldwide.

When is troubleshooting needed?
Any time rapid action is required. We are ready to respond – competent, efficient, and reliable.

Our track record:

  • 91 years of experience
  • 113 countries served
  • Always ready for deployment

Conclusion: Experience, Precision, and Reliability – At Work Worldwide

Our customers rely on the combination of analytical expertise, technical know-how, and global readiness. Whether during planning, analysis, or critical incidents – ELEX is your strong partner.

Put your plant in experienced hands – we make the difference.
