Abstract

A complex dynamic model of the reactor-regenerator-fractionator system of an industrial FCCU is developed. The novelty of the model consists on the complex dynamics of the reactor-regenerator system and it also includes the dynamic model of the fractionator, as well as a new five lumped kinetic model for the riser, and hence it is able to predict the final production rate of the main products (gasoline and diesel). Based on the experimental data comparisons between the simulated output values and industrial data have been done, for certain disturbance scenarios.
