We compare the swing cut + bias CDU model with a recently developed hybrid CDU model(Fu et al., 2016). The hybrid CDU model computes material and energy balances, as well as product true boiling point(TBP) curves and bulk properties(e.g., sulfur% and cetane index, and other properties). Product TBP curves are predicted with an average error of 0.5% against rigorous simulation curves. Case studies of optimal operation computed using a planning model that is based on the swing cut + bias CDU model and using a planning model that incorporates the hybrid CDU model are presented. Our results show that significant economic benefits can be obtained using accurate CDU models in refinery production planning.展开更多
