ISOM-SIM
Optimising the gasoline production facilities of your refinery? KBC's ISOM-SIM models the key isomerisation processes used today. Isomerisation of nC4 to iC4 for alkylation feedstock and C5/C6 light naphtha for octane improvement are both simulated by this tool. Units with either highly active acidic catalysts or higher temperature less active catalysts can be modelled.

ISOM-SIM™ is a specialty reactor that models C6 Isomerisation units. It can model Butamer, PenHex, TIP, and all other C4-C6 Paraffin Isomerisation processes.

The reactor is a rigorous, kinetic plug-flow unit operation with pre-built reversible and irreversible reactions, run with rigorous thermodynamics. You have the option to have the model calculate temperature profile or to input a fixed temperature profile. Effluent separation systems are set up using standard Petro-SIM unit operations to give you maximum flexibility. This system lets you examine interactions between other units within the naphtha complex and beyond.

ISOM-SIM is available within Petro-SIM™ and Petro-SIM Express™.
