AM-15-55 Hydrocracking Reactor Control Best Practice

Description:

This paper presents a hydrocracking reactor control design that was developed by a team of senior control, hydroprocessing, and production engineers to meet the needs of a complex and highly-integrated two-stage hydrocracking unit with a prior history of temperature excursion and depressurization events. Since deployment over three years ago, the controls have remained fully in-service without “maintenance needs” or “performance degradation”.
