Optimization of Gasoline in FCC riser using RSM

Answer 1

in an industrial fluid catalytic cracking unit in steady state. The reactions in the riser occur in a transported bed with the fluid and the solids in ideal plug flow. One of the main advantages of the model is that it does not include any partial differential equa-tions. This facilitates the solution of the equations and makes the model particularly suitable for control stud-ies. The present work aims to apply optimization in an industrial FCC converter unit, using the four-lump model involved gas oil, gasoline, light gas and coke (to predict the Gas oil conversion and the product distribution) and to carry out a numerical and graphical analysis of the solution procedure. The results demonstrate the effect of changing various process variables, such as temperature, catalyst to oil rate and mass of gasoil. The calculated data of the product distribution were agreed well with the experimental results.
