2 Work Motivation Nowadays, modelling and simulation are essential tools in the improvement and optimization of industrial processes. Why consider the FCC Process? Incorporates several areas of Chemical Engineering such as catalysis, fluidization, heat and mass transfer, etc.. Is a complex Nonlinear System, with strong interactions between the riser reactor and regenerator blocks; Due to its Economical Relevance, often small improvements lead to significant profits. Optimal performance is achieved near various Physical and Operating Constraints. 3/22 Main Objective To develop a rigorous model for the FCC process based on first principles, suitable for RT supervision and optimization. This model should Accurately predict the steady state and the dynamic characteristics of the system; Have low computational requirements, suitable for RT applications; Use only input data routinely available in a typical refinery. Be flexible enough to simulate a wide range of operating conditions without noticeable loss of precision or lack of convergence; 4/22 2
3 FCC Unit Where is the FCC unit in the refinery processes? LPG VGO GLN LCO HCO LCO Typical Refinery Flowchart adapted from Scherzer and Gruia, /22 FCC Unit FCC unit design change over the last 75 years: FCC Model IV FCC R2R Unit FCC UOP High -Efficiency Adapted from Montgomery (1993). 6/22 3
4 FCC Unit FCC unit overview: Primary conversion process in petroleum refining; Converts high-boiling petroleum fractions (gas oil) to high-value, high-octane gasoline and heating oil; Largest contributor to the gasoline pool (~35%vol); Extremely flexible process processes a range of feeds and produces a variety of valuable products; Low cost operation operates near P atm and is autothermic. 7/22 FCC Unit The FCC unit considered in the model developed is a FCC UOP High-Efficiency (HE) Unit. Main differences relative to traditional FCC units: Most of the combustion reactions occur in the combustion riser. Catalyst recirculation is promoted to maintain constant density in the combustor and control the dense bed temperature. Residence times are much lower than in traditional bubbling bed regenerators. 8/22 4
5 FCC Unit Modelling A FCC HE unit model was built in FORTRAN (Fernandes et al., 2007). Sequential solution (+ iter.); Single purpose code; High computational effort. A 2nd generation model was built in GAMS*. * General Algebraic Modeling System: Simultaneous solution; More flexible unit models; Computationally more efficient; Full algebraic model (OCFE + ). + Orthogonal Collocation with Finite Elements 9/22 FCC Unit Modelling Main model assumptions in Riser Catalytic Cracking Kinetic Model w/ 6-Lumps Deactivation model: dφ/dy ck =-αφ d García-Dopico et al.

10 Conclusions AFCC HE unit model was successfully built in GAMS. The FCC model was validated against the FORTRAN model, which was previously validated with industrial data. The FCC model allows simultaneous solution of all the individual blocks and unit optimization. The model is suitable for RT applications, sinceafterss initialization it only needs 1-10s CPU to solve (~ vars, ~ 10 DOFs). Suitable for sensitivity analysis and optimization studies, as seen in opt. #1 and #2 results. 19/22 Future Work Further comparison with the Fortran model, such as steady state multiplicity, cluster formation, catalyst deactivation function, etc Further studies, such as hydrodynamics studies, kinetic studies, etc Extend to dynamic model. Integrate the FCC model with advanced RT control schemes and compare performance w/ typical linear MPC algorithms. Optimization studies w/ additional economics objectives, including additional specific constraints (equipment). Extend to include ancillary units (e.g., feed preheater, blower) and main fractionator. 20/22 10
