SUM-21-39 Kinetic Modeling: Predicting Success

Description:

The FCC is one of the most complex units in the refinery, and its role as a flexible money maker continues to be as important as ever.  As a result, FCC kinetic modeling has become increasingly important in the industry to help ensure the FCC is optimized to maximum profitability.  This session will provide several examples of how FCC kinetic models are being used to predict success. The three main takeaways the audience will learn from this session are: Key benefits of establishing and routinely using a robust FCC kinetic model optimizer How refiners are using the optimizer to maximize profitability during periods of change with pricing or unit constraints Understanding potential pitfalls with using an optimizer
