Full Refinery Simulation
A comprehensive, robust full refinery simulation containing rigorous reactors such as CCR, FCC, Hydrotreaters, Hydrocracker and Delayed-Coker along with the latest reactor developments and upgrades is now part of VMGSim’s full refinery solution.
This full refinery simulation is a public case based off of literature and includes:
- 14 fractionation columns
- 3 rigorous preheating furnaces
- 4 Hydrotreating units
- Rigorous catalytic FCC unit, CCR unit, and HCC unit
- Rigorous thermal delayed coking unit
- Sulfur, Nitrogen, and Metals heteroatomic inclusion
- Report Summary unit with overall and sulfur specific mass balance tracking
The features involved in this comprehensive simulation are as follows:
- Reaction kinetics based on PIONA molecular structure modeling to handle any carbon number range reaction set: light end, naphtha, kerosene, diesel, gas oil, vacuum gas oil, reformate, gasoline, coker gasoline, atmospheric residue, and vacuum residue
- Flexible Catalytic/Thermal kinetics adjustment via PIONA tuning variables and mechanistic tuning variables provide an opportunity for refining client’s to match each reactor’s performance including temperature and products yields with plant/experimental data.
- The simulation is atomic balanced at any point in the reactive flowsheet
- Ability to consider your improved catalyst by connecting modified catalyst properties to PIONA kinetic reaction pathways via Flowsheet based calculations to obtain desired results
- Rigorous catalyst activity model for a variety of types of catalysts and feedstocks
- Optimized flowsheet performance with the VMGSim Regression and Optimization tools
- Flexible VMGSim Case Study tools to complete sensitivity studies on variables
- Providing Distillation Curve, Oil Analysis, Product PIONA Distribution of any material streams in the flowsheet
