The paper presents designing of a robust fault diagnosis system for a catalytic cracking process using artificial neural networks. Identification of the considered process is carried out by using recurrent neural networks. To achieve a robust fault diagnosis system, an uncertainty associated with the model is also taken into account. Neural version of the Model Error Modelling is used to deal w...

Three high-silica mordenite zeolites differing in SiO440, ratio were prepared by direct synthesis without using any template. The products Si02/A120, ratio is influenced by the starting gel composition. This ratio is increased upon ion-exchange with NH,Cl and subsequent calcination to prepare protonic mordenite. The protonic mordenites with Si02/A1203ra tios of 14.6,29.2 and 34.6 were chara...

The history of fluidized bed technology dates back 60 years. Gasification of pulverized coal in the Winkler process during the 1920's marked the beginning of fluidized bed application. Consider­ ,able work done during World War II by U.S. oil companies to improve the catalytic cracking of kerosene led to the development of the Fluid Catalytic Cracking process. Fluidized bed technology later exp...

ZSM-5-containing catalytic additives are widely used in oil refineries to boost light olefin production and improve gasoline octanes in the Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) process. Under the hydrothermal conditions present in the FCC regenerator (typically >700 °C and >8% steam), FCC catalysts and additives are subject to deactivation. Zeolites (e.g., Rare Earth USY in the base catalyst and ZSM-...

The problem of spent fluid catalytic cracking (SFCC) catalyst resource utilization, draws more and attention to system analysis. SFCC was leached in an oxalic solution for comprehensive utilization. results showed that a D50 ≤ 17.34 μm, the 240 min at 95 °C presence 2 mol/L acid solution, extent leaching V, Ni, Fe, Al 73.4%, 32.4%, 48.2%, 36.8%, respectively. Studies on occurrence state main io...

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...
