Naphtha Reformer operation needs to respond to current economics and available feedstocks. What are the best feeds and severity for your unit, given hydrogen and octane requirements for your refinery operation? REF-SIM can help determine the answers.
REF-SIM™ is a comprehensive kinetic naphtha reformer model. It can model all key reformer unit types: | | - Continuous Catalyst Regeneration (CCR)
- Semi-Regenerative or Regenerative (Cyclic)
- Pilot Plants
This software can model gasoline and BTX (petrochemical) operations, simulating the reactor, separator, and hydrogen recycle systems, and it provides a complete heat-and-material-balance solution. REF-SIM is used to simulate the effects of changes in feedstock, operating conditions, and catalyst age or catalyst circulation rate for moving bed units.
The catalyst is characterised by its performance in a plant test, and no specific catalyst data is required. REF-SIM has successfully simulated catalysts with various metals loadings and with product separator pressures ranging from 40 to 600 psi (275 to 4000 kPa).
REF-SIM is available as a standalone model or within Petro-SIM™ and Petro-SIM Express. |
