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.
