A disturbance rejection is tested by int...
متن کاملApplication of Modified Multi Model Predictive Control Algorithm to Fluid Catalytic Cracking Unit
This paper presents a modified multi model predictive control algorithm for the control of riser outlet temperature and regenerator temperature for the fluid catalytic cracking unit (FCCU). The models of the fluid catalytic cracking unit are estimated using subspace identification (N4SID) algorithm. The PRBS signal is applied as an input signal to estimate the FCCU models. Since the estimated m...
متن کاملSimulation and Optimization of a Naphtha Thermal Cracking Pilot Plant
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 ...
