Title: Control of a catalytic fluid cracker

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/10117087· OSTI ID:10117087

Control offers an important tool for savings in refineries, mainly by integration of process models into on-line control. This paper is part of a research effort to better understand problems of partial control; control of a Fluid Catalytic Cracker (FCC) is used as example. Goal is to understand better the control problems of an FCC in context of model based control of a refinery, and to understand the general problem of designing partial control systems.
