FCC Online Simulation and Optimization Platform Based on Rigorous Mechanism Model
An online FCC simulation and optimization platform based on rigorous mechanism model was innovatively proposed.The platform was centered around some mechanism models:an FCC process simulation model(including flue gas waste heat recovery),a deaerator performance analysis model,and a desuperheater performance analysis model.On-site MES and LIMS data was transmitted to these models by self-developed interfaces,and after online data correction,process digital twin and online operation optimization for key parameters in these models were achieved.This paper introduced the platform in detail from its function design,key technology and application effect.The platform has been put into online trial operation in an RFCC unit of PetroChina.Under the background of current digital transformation,the successful development of this platform is of great significance for the promotion of other refining and chemical enterprises in the future.
