Project
Defined scope, fixed timeline
Right when you have one concrete question or a milestone-driven program. We agree the scope, deliverables, and timeline up front, then execute.
Engineering · Modeling · Software
DyssolTEC works with chemical, pharma, food, and mining companies on solids and particle processes. We bring engineering know-how, dynamic simulation models, and our own simulation software (DyssolPro and MUSEN) into the same project.
Backed by applied research at TUHH and a decade of solids-process modeling experience.
Process problems we get pulled into.
Engineering teams reach out when standard tools, in-house capacity, or time-to-answer reach their limits. The situations below are recurring patterns from our work with industrial and research clients.
"Our process behaviour cannot be reproduced with standard tools, and we have no modeling team."
We bring in dedicated modeling expertise and a mature simulation toolchain so you do not have to build the capability from scratch.
"Production sits below design throughput and the root cause is not obvious from plant data."
We model your process, identify the controlling phenomena, and propose targeted operating-window or design changes.
"Lab and pilot data look good. How do we get to full scale without surprises?"
Dynamic flowsheet and DEM modeling de-risks scale-up by exposing where particle-scale effects break the lab assumptions.
"We have a launch or trial campaign on the calendar and need modeling answers fast."
Embedded engineering: a DyssolTEC modeler joins your team for the project window so simulation work stays on the critical path.
"We need a defensible design space for a continuous process and clean documentation."
Dynamic models that map operating windows, support QbD documentation, and capture the transient behaviour regulators ask about.
"We want our engineers to do this in-house long-term."
Training, mentoring, and co-development of your internal simulation capability so the work stays with your team after we leave.
| Service area | What we deliver |
|---|---|
| Dynamic flowsheet simulation | Plant-wide solids-process modeling for chemical, pharma, food, and mining lines, built on our open-source DyssolPro framework. |
| Microscale particle simulation | DEM studies of granular flow, mixing, segregation, packing, and breakage with our MUSEN DEM platform. |
| CFD–DEM coupling | Combined fluid-particle simulations for spray drying, fluidized beds, pneumatic transport, and other gas-solid systems. |
| Custom model development | Project-specific unit models, contact laws, reaction kinetics, and population-balance models built into DyssolPro or MUSEN. |
| Surrogate & data-driven models | Faster runtime via surrogate models trained on high-fidelity simulations or plant data, plus ML-assisted parameter estimation. |
| Digital-twin development | Connected simulation environments wired to plant historian or DCS data for live process tracking and what-if analysis. |
| Process engineering studies | Operating-window analysis, design studies, debottlenecking, scale-up consulting, energy and yield optimization. |
| Quality-by-Design support | Dynamic-simulation evidence for design space, control strategy, and regulatory documentation in pharma applications. |
| Training & workshops | Particle-technology fundamentals, DEM theory, population-balance methods, and tool-specific DyssolPro and MUSEN training for engineers, researchers, and operators. |
| Software licensing & deployment | DyssolPro and MUSEN licensing, on-prem deployment, integration with existing IT infrastructure, and custom builds with exclusive usage rights. |
Project
Right when you have one concrete question or a milestone-driven program. We agree the scope, deliverables, and timeline up front, then execute.
Retainer & embedded
A DyssolTEC engineer joins your team for a defined period, attends design reviews, and picks up modeling problems as they emerge. Best for sustained transformation work.
Joint research
For problems that need novel modeling and a longer horizon. Often co-funded, and can include thesis or PhD supervision in cooperation with TUHH.
Training
On-site or online formats for engineers, researchers, and operators. Right when you want the modeling capability to stay with your team.
