KBC Arom-Sim Model
KBC Arom-Sim Model
The KBC SIM Suite Model for Xylene Isomerisation and Aromatics Transalkylation
BENEFITS
Select Operating Targets determine how to
maximise the amount of paraxylene and the
effect of ethylbenzene conversion on xylene
isomerisation; control the amount and quality of
recycle
Evaluate New Feedstocks or Upstream Operations
establish the effects of a new feed on product
qualities and yields, such as how a change in feed
naphthenes may affect the process, or determine
the best feedstocks to the transalkylation unit
Generate LP Submodels determine and generate
vectors needed in the linear program (LP) to model
the incremental yields for different feeds and
operating conditions
Debottleneck calculate the economic effects
of increasing the Hydrogen to hydrocarbon ratio
and the effects of changing reactor pressures or
conversion levels
Train - bring engineers and operators up to speed
through a series of simulation runs to evaluate
cause-and-effect results
Design - establish the best configuration for a new
facility
FEATURES
Kinetic model consisting of primary and side reaction
equations for isomerisation and transalkylation
Linear or weighted distribution of energy use along
the reactor
Auto-tuning or manual tuning capability
Detailed compositional model output with stream
properties
Case studies and optimisation capabilities to
determine maximum performance
Easy to use LP Data Utility to create LP shift vectors
and submodels
Integration with other refinery units using Petro-SIM,
to model interaction between these units, reformers,
and other key operations
For specified feeds, operating conditions, and
constraints, the program determines resulting
product flows and compositions as well as overall
unit operating economics.
INTERFACE OPTIONS
AROM-SIM is available with a graphical user interface,
with the same user-friendly look and feel as other
unit operations within the Petro-SIM family of process
simulators. Make configuration changes using dragand-drop on a process flowsheet diagram, compare
plant data with results in a meter view, and perform case
studies and optimisations all within a single environment.
