BENEFITS
Select the most profitable feeds for the hydrocracker,
taking into account product yields, hydrogen
requirements, and catalyst life.
Determine the optimum total conversion and
conversion-per-pass
Determine the best operating strategy to take
advantage of operating synergies between the
hydrocracker and the FCCU
Accurately monitor catalyst deactivation and
determine time to shutdown
Generate a consistent set of yields vectors for
different feeds and severities for use in the refinery LP
Train engineers and operators new to hydrocracking
by using the model to illustrate cause and effect
through simulation runs
FEATURES
A detailed simulation of the reactor section, including
the hydrotreater and hydrocracking reactors by bed,
as well as quenches, downstream flashes, and all
recycle gas loops
A rigorous kinetic representation of all key reactions
Hydrodesulphurisation (HDS), Hydrodenitrogenation
(HDN), Hydrodemetallisation (HDM), olefin saturation
in the hydrotreater, and cracking and ring-opening in
the hydrocracker(s)
Detailed heat balances to allow the calculation of bed
temperature rises and resulting quench requirements
Accurate modelling of catalyst deactivation based
on catalyst temperature, hydrogen partial pressure,
and feedstock qualities
Detailed feed pseudo-component characterisation
by paraffin, aromatic, and naphthene content and
carbon number
A built-in optimiser allows you to identify the most
profitable operation given feed/product pricing,
catalyst costs, and unit constraints
INTERFACE OPTIONS
HCR-SIM is available with a Microsoft Excel based
spreadsheet interface for quick setup, ease-of-use, and
the ability to process multiple calibration and prediction
cases for analysis. Multiple chart options allow easy
analysis of data and model predictions, and concise
summary sheets provide relevant data at a glance.
Excel interfaces are automatically generated and can be
customised to your specific needs.
