Reactor Technology Improvements in Petro-SIM 6

Petro-SIM 6 demonstrates key improvements to the core SIM Reactor Suite process technology.

HXX-SIM

• Added HXX-SIM bed pressure drop prediction
• Improved HXX-SIM robustness and calibration
• Added product polyaromatics profile prediction

FCC-SIM

• Added purchased ECAT input options
• Enabled transfer of feed property inputs (PNA, aromatics distribution, and hydroprocessing severity) directly from HXX-SIM predicted products
• Added new tuning parameters

Furnace Models

• Updated Furnace Model Calculation
• Updated Coker Furnace kinetics to be consistent with DC-SIM
• Added asphaltene solubility effect on coking kinetics

AROM-SIM

• Expanded C9 Aromatics isomer groups
• Improved hydrogen recycle convergence
