SIMPLE CORRELATION FOR REACTION RATE OF COKE-BURNING IN A HYDROCRACKER REACTOR USING THE MATHEMATICAL MODELING TECHNIQUE
ABSTRACT
Using the mathematical modeling technique, the reaction rate constant for high temperature and pressure coke-burning processes was obtained by considering a simple reaction rate equation; while in accordance with the industrial operating conditions the feed rate and inlet oxygen concentration were changed continuously with time. Using the precise data of a real regeneration process and adjusting the reaction’s rate constant for matching the results of the model with the experimental data, the rate of reaction was estimated. The precision of the method and the reaction rate is validated by using another set of experimental data. The obtained kinetics along with the mathematical model is able to predict the behavior of the coke-burning process with an acceptable error for applied aims.
