Adaptation of the mathematical model of the catalytic cracking process to the existing plant

Abstract

The article presents the results of adaptation of the mathematical model of catalytic cracking of gasoline fractions
to the current installation. The adequacy of the mathematical model of the catalytic cracking plant was checked by comparing
the calculated and experimental data on the yield of the target products from the industrial plant. The results showed a margin
of error in the program - 3%. Accordingly, this model is adequate and workable for further calculations, such as planning
the volume and quality of products, taking into account the actual capabilities of the installation. Possibilities of the adapted
mathematical model allow to optimize technological conditions of operation of installation, to reveal influence of structure of raw
materials on a target product. Based on the calculations of the mathematical model, it is possible to formulate recommendations
for energy-efficient operation of the entire installation.
