VISBREAKER AND FUEL BLENDING MODELING
SimSci-Esscor’s™ Visbreaker Operations Model (VOM) is one of the reactor
models for Refinery Modeling in SimSci-Esscor’s industry-leading ROMeo® Online
Performance Suite. The Visbreaker process unit reduces the quantity of residual
oil produced and increases the yield of more valuable middle distillates. The VOM
Reactor model can be used to model industrial coil (also called furnace) type of
visbreaker units.
and optimized. Tested
and proven on industrial
units, this model allows
the flexibility of tuning
parameters online,
providing an accurate
representation of your
visbreaking unit.
Benefits
• Help with
understanding the
process and the
interaction between
visbreaker operation
and fuel production rate
and properties
• Debottlenecking and
process improvement
study
• Maximize profit by
optimizing the furnace
and fractionator
operating condition,
while meeting fuel
specifications
FEATURES
The VOM model offers the following key features:
• Ability to model the whole visbreaking unit including the furnace, fractionators, and
fuel blending
• Detailed modeling of the furnace coil side for accurate resident time calculation
• Requires input of feed properties, furnace coil geometry and operating condition,
and liquid product cutpoint temperatures
• Handles multiple feeds including furnace feed (Resid, VGO optional) and cutter
stock feeds for fuel blending
• Predicts product yields and liquid and fuel product properties including
asphaltene contents, kinematic viscosities, Bureau of Mines Correlation Index
(BMCI) predicted values
APPLICATIONS
• Refinery-wide modeling and optimization for understanding the interaction between the visbreaker
unit and upstream units
• Better understanding of the interaction between furnace, fractionator operation, and fuel oil
production rates and properties
• Online or Offline visbreaker unit performance monitoring and optimization
• Offline engineering and process improvement studies with offline SIM4ME® Portal Excel® interface
ROMEO REFINERY MODELING
ROMeo Refinery is a unique solution that
enables scalable refinery-wide modeling
and optimization. While traditional modeling
solutions can only simulate individual
process units or provide point solutions to
solve a specific problem, the ROMeo Online
Performance Suite provides a scalable platform
that enables companies to optimize refinerywide performance as well optimize other
aspects of refinery profitability such as Utilities
and instrument/equipment health monitoring.
Additional benefits are derived from leveraging
the data-generated rigorous models to
enhanced planning and scheduling decisions,
leading to increased refinery margins.
