In practical crude distillation operation, the distillate yield and product distribution of distillation units are different due to their various equipment and operating parameters, even the same ratio of raw materials is provided, so different process models for multi-refinery planning is therefore required. For process modeling, the relationships between total yields and mixing ratio of different refineries were determined, which is combined with process simulation using production data. Then,the yields and properties of crude distillation unit(CDU) fractions were calculated with the use of true boiling point(TBP) curves and property curves respectively when the initial cutting temperatures were given. Finally,in order to maximize the economic benefit of distillation, the optimal product distribution and the best mixing ratio of crude oil were calculated under the constraints of different properties of fractions. Comparing to previous models, the proposed model takes the influence of different refinery parameters on production process into account, while avoiding the complex process for determining the cutting points, which is considered more efficient and more accurate with respect to heavy crude refinery. Model was successfully verified by a case study,allowing a significant improvement of the refinery profit to be achieved.展开更多

A model was established to transform the feedstock of the complex reaction systems such as DCC to 1000-10000 pseudo-molecules with the Monte Carlo simulation and every molecule was expressed by 19 attributes. The results of model simulation showed that these pseudo-molecules reflected the characteristics of feedstock very well and their average properties gave a good agreement with the plant data.展开更多
