simulation and optimization of a naphtha thermal cracking pilot plant
نویسندگان
چکیده
in thermal cracking plants, it is desired to apply an optimal temperature profile along the reactor to minimize the operation cost. in this article a simulator is developed by the use of a mathematical model, which describes the static operation of a naphtha thermal cracking pilot plant. the model is used to predict the steady state profiles of the gas temperature and product yields. using a dynamic programming technique, an optimal temperature profile along the reactor is obtained. the effects of operating variables such as steam to hydrocarbon ratio (s/hc), coil outlet temperature (cot) and feed flow rate on product yield are investigated. pilot plant simulation results are compared with the industrial data and the results indicate that they follow the same trend.

A coupled reactor/furnace simulation has been conducted for a 100 kt/a SL-II naphtha cracking furnace containing both long-flame and radiation burners. The computational fluid dynamics approach was used to simulate the flow, combustion and radiative heat transfer in the furnace. The software packages COILSIM1D and SimCO were used to account for the cracking process in the reactor coils. The sim...
متن کاملMulti-objective Genetic Optimization of Ethane Thermal Cracking Reactor
An industrial ethane thermal cracking reactor was modeled assuming a molecular mechanism for the reaction kinetics coupled with material, energy, and momentum balances of the reactant-product flow along the reactor. To carry out the multi-objective optimization for two objectives such as conversion and ethylene selectivity, the elitist non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm was used. The Paret...
