Modelling, Simulation And Control Of An Fcc Unit
Keywords:
FCC, riser, regeneratorAbstract
The riser and regenerator of industrial FCC is modelled using five lump kinetic model. Here riser is considered as adiabatic plug flow since riser operates in between fast and pneumatic fluidization. The regenerator is assumed as CSTR as catalyst to be well mixed for removing coke from pores of catalyst. The model is simulated using MATLAB obtaining the data from literature. The model results are in good agreement with plant data obtained from MRPL.
