Modeling and Simulation of Catalytic Reactors For Petroleum Refining

This document discusses modeling and simulation of catalytic reactors used in petroleum refining. It describes the main conversion processes used in refining like hydrotreating, reforming, and cracking. It also outlines common approaches for modeling reactors for steady-state and dynamic simulations and analyzes aspects involved in modeling like thermodynamics, kinetics, variables, design. Results of simulations are compared to pilot plant and commercial data. Kinetics data used in models are from literature or controlled experiments.

Modeling and Simulation of Catalytic Reactors for

Petroleum Refining

Modeling and Simulation of Catalytic Reactors for Petroleum Refining deals with
fundamental descriptions of the main conversion processes employed in the petroleum
refining industry: catalytic hydrotreating, catalytic reforming, and fluid catalytic cracking.
Common approaches for modeling of catalytic reactors for steady-state and dynamic
simulations are also described and analyzed. Aspects such as thermodynamics, reaction
kinetics, process variables, process scheme, and reactor design are discussed in detail
from both research and commercial points of view. Results of simulation with the
developed models are compared with those determined at pilot plant scale as well as
commercial practice. Kinetics data used in the reactor model are either taken from the
literature or obtained under controlled experiments at the laboratory.
