Four – Lump Kinetic Model vs. Three - Lump Kinetic Model for the Fluid Catalytic Cracking Riser Reactor

Three Dimensional Simulation of Catalytic Cracking Reactions in an Industrial Scale Riser Using a 11-lump Kinetic

Most studies neglect the presence of thermal cracking reactions in industrial FCC process. Nevertheless, the present work proposes a new model which modified the 10-lumps kinetic model given by Jacob el al. (1976), through to inclusion a new lump named dry gas represent the results of the thermal reactions. Similarly as in the 10-lumps kinetic model, the proposed 11-lumps kinetic model consider...

Prediction of gasoline yield in a fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) riser using k-epsilon turbulence and 4-lump kinetic models: A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) approach

FCC riser; Computational fluid dynamics (CFD); Cracking reaction kinetics; Hydrodynamics; 4-Lump kinetic model; k-Epsilon turbulence model Abstract Fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) is an essential process for the conversion of gas oil to gasoline. This study is an effort to model the phenomenon numerically using commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software, heavy density catalyst and 4-...

Multifunctional two-stage riser fluid catalytic cracking process

This paper described the discovering process of some shortcomings of the conventional fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) process and the proposed two-stage riser (TSR) FCC process for decreasing dry gas and coke yields and increasing light oil yield, which has been successfully applied in 12 industrial units. Furthermore, the multifunctional two-stage riser (MFT) FCC process proposed on the basis o...

THE SCALING LAW FOR THE DISCRETE KINETIC GROWTH PERCOLATION MODEL

The Scaling Law for the Discrete Kinetic Growth Percolation Model The critical exponent of the total number of finite clusters α is calculated directly without using scaling hypothesis both below and above the percolation threshold pc based on a kinetic growth percolation model in two and three dimensions. Simultaneously, we can calculate other critical exponents β and γ, and show that the scal...
