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.
