The effective diffusivity of two fresh and two spent catalysts, previously deactivated for 18 months in a commercial unit, were determined. The effective diffusivities were measured using a shallow-bed reactor already developed for this purpose. Nitrogen, isopentane and isooctane effective...

Accurate dynamic process response models are a key element in a successful refining MPC application. For most refinery processes, these response models are derived from data obtained during a specially designed plant test where the process independent variables is excited to cause movement in the...

MPC software companies and their customers can sustain and increase the benefits from MPC solutions by forming effective maintenance strategies. This can mean maintaining MPC models current and migrating applications with evolving techniques. This paper will show how a well-formed maintenance...

DP Flow is the most frequently applied measurement technology. Uncover the value of re-engineering DP Flow measurement points to enable better measurement. Learn how best practices and innovative designs deliver improved accuracy, reduced maintenance, reduced installed costs, lowered permanent...

Please note: sound does not begin until approximately 30 seconds into the presentation. Typically mathematical models of physical and chemical processes are large and complex because of complications and nonlinearities of physical processes. The importance of mathematical models is evident for...

This presentation will provide a summary of each of the primary environmental regulatory programs, including air, water, waste and emergency planning. These programs are also known by their statutory names, the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, Resource Conservation and Recovery Act and the Emergency...

Atmospheric Crude Columns are one of the most important pieces of equipment in the petroleum refining industry. Typically located after the Desalter and the Crude Furnace, the Atmospheric Tower serves to distil the crude oil into several different cuts. These include naphtha, kerosene, light diesel...
