Hydrocracking is the most flexible process in refining, but also one of the most complex in terms of possible operating strategies. There are a multitude of questions about feeds, conversion (total and per pass), catalyst life and hydrogen requirements. HCR-SIM™ an excellent tool for enabling refining staff to fine tune this critical operating unit. Unit objectives may be maximum naphtha, kerosene, diesel, or lubes production.
|  | HCR-SIM simulates commercial refinery hydrocracking units to help you select the best possible set of operating conditions. You can use the HCR-SIM model for unit monitoring, as well as to quantify and analyse the relative economic advantages of different feed slates, feed rates, reactor severities, product fractionation schemes and equipment modifications for debottlenecking.
HCR-SIM is very flexible and can simulate most commercial hydrocracking unit configurations and is independent of catalyst types. The simulation can rigorously model once-through, partial recycle and recycle to extinction operations, with fast and robust convergence.
HCR-SIM lets you examine the effect on yields, hydrogen consumption, and catalyst run length based on changes in operating conditions, feed rates, feed qualities, severity (total and per pass conversions), and recycle cut point.
HCR-SIM is available as a standalone model or within Petro-SIM™ and Petro-SIM Express™.
