Hybrid Model
Our model provides precise operator setpoints for optimizing key variables in two scenarios: Fixed Riser Operating Temperature and Variable Riser Operating Temperature. In both scenarios, ethylene and propylene yields are maximized by adjusting:
- Riser pressure
- Dispersion steam rate
- Coker naphtha recycle rate
- Dense bed temperature
