Hello Everyone

I'm going to simulate a catalytic reforming unit as a aromatic petrochemical unit.

 

This simulation will be done based on an available reference project , but then I should change the feed for new feed and optimize it for max. benzene production. 

 

which simulation software do you recommend and do anyone have this experience?

 

 

"PETROSIM" has built in "CRU" model and calibration feature which allows calibrate the model based on input and output of current reference project.

 

there are some deviations for simulation by PetroSim, So But I want to know about "Pro II" ? As I know there is know built in model for CRU in "PRO II", is it possible to manually develop CRU model in Pro II and calibrate it?

 

The current unit benefits continuous catalyst regeneration type technology of "Axens".

Hysys also has a kinetic reformer model.

 

Benzene is easy to predict with any kinetic model as its mostly just conversion of the cyclic precursors, which is fast, and the slower but strongly temperature related conversion of C6 parrafins.
