Mathematical Modelling and Control of a Fluid Catalytic Cracking Unit
Resumen
Using MATLAB software, the Matrixes Laboratory developed a model to simulate the performance of an industrial Fluidized Catalytic Cracking (FCC) unit in both steady and dynamic states. This model is intended for future applications in control studies and real-time optimization. The study presents a dynamic model for an R2R-type FCC unit, incorporating the riser, stripper/disengager, regeneration system, and catalyst transport lines. Material, energy, and pressure balances were performed for each of these sections. Simulation results for both steady and dynamic states are presented and qualitatively compared with those from previous FCC models.
