Real-Time Optimization of RFCC Plant Based on ROMeo Platform
In the whole refining and chemical plant,the heavy oil catalytic cracking unit occupies the core position.Industrial process automation and real-time optimization(RTO)technology is a powerful measure to maximize the economic benefits of heavy oil catalytic cracking unit.Therefore,this paper introduces the construction idea of real-time optimization technology based on ROMeo platform in heavy oil catalytic cracking unit.Through the implementation of ROMeo real-time optimization system and advanced process control system(APC),the production process is tracked in real time,and the on-line optimization is continuously carried out,so that the unit can be operated at the best operating point to achieve the best economic benefits.The real-time optimization system controls the price of raw materials,final products and system utilities,and controls the operating conditions of the device through the APC system to approach the target set by the RTO.The application results show that the system can effectively increase the capacity of heavy oil catalytic cracking unit and reduce energy consumption,which can increase the economic benefits of refining enterprises.
