Abstract:
The catalytic cracking unit represents a vital element for any refinery specialized in the motor fuel production. The numerical modeling and simulation is the first important step in a process control system development. The model of the catalytic cracking process is characterized by a relative big number of the parameters. This paper presents the research results obtained by modeling, adaptation and simulation of the catalytic cracking process. The authors have identified four components associated to the process adaptation of the catalytic cracking model’s. The first component represents the reactor constructive data. The second components refers to the adaptation of the model catalyst the phisical – chemical properties. The third components attend the estimation of the phisical – chemical properties of the raw material from experimenatal data. The last component contains the methodology of the kinetic model’s parameters adaptation.
