FCC-SIM unit operation is a key economic driver in many refineries. Do you need to evaluate feed alternatives on your unit? Against blower and/or regenerator constraints, do you push feed rate or conversion? FCC-SIM can help determine these answers. It is based on a first-principles engineering framework and is an accurate, easy-to-use tool with over twenty years of application in refineries worldwide.

FCC-SIM is licensed for use on over 180 commercial FCC units by leading refining, catalyst, and engineering companies, making it the industrys tool of choice.

BENEFITS Monitorunitperformance

x Track mass balance, heat balance closure, catalyst circulation rate and other key process indicators

x Compare actual yields versus predicted Evaluatecatalystandadditiveeffects

x Change catalyst composition (rare earth, alumina, zeolite)

x Determine effects of ZSM-5 addition x Use lab data for catalyst comparison and evaluation

Understandunitbehaviour x Train unit personnel x ExamineFCCcauseandeffectrelationships x Investigate effects of wide variety of feed types

Optimiseunitperformance x Set unit targets based on integrated optimiser

results x Use in an online optimisation application

Keep the refinery LP up-to-date with product yield,product quality and constraint vectors for various feedstocks x Supports swing cut schemes x Allows rapid regeneration of data when model or LPstructurechanges

FCC-SIM The KBC SIM Suite Model for Fluid Catalytic Cracking

FCC-SIM is a valuable tool that can be used to analyse your FCC and predict results for a wide range of operating conditions. You can use FCC-SIM to answer what if questions, develop LP model coefficients,make catalyst decisions, monitor key processing parameters, and train personnel.

INTERFACE OPTIONSFCC-SIM is available with a Microsoft Excel based spreadsheet interface for quick setup, ease-of-use, and the ability to process multiple calibration and prediction cases for analysis. Multiple chart options allow easy analysis of data and model predictions, and concise summary sheets provide relevant data at a glance. Excelinterfacesareautomaticallygeneratedandcanbecustomised to your specific needs.

FCC-SIM can also be used directly within a graphical user interface, with the same user-friendly look and feel asourPetro-SIM familyofprocess simulators. Makeconfiguration changes using drag-and-drop on a

process flowsheet diagram, compare plant data with results in a meter view, and perform case studies and optimisations all within a single environment.
