Abstract:

Based on the simulation of a FCC separation system using Aspen Plus software, where the gasoline end point, diesel 95% point, C2 and C3 volume fraction in dry gas and LPG, respectively were used as the constrain conditions, a multi-objective model of maximizing the yield of product, minimizing the energy consumption of separation system is established in consideration of multi-product plan. Multi-objective line-up competition algorithm (MOLCA) was employed to solve the model, and the Pareto front obtained from the model reveals the influence rule of the energy consumption on the yield of product. The results indicate that the optimal compromise solutions of operation parameters are superior to that of real practice.

Key words: FCC separation system, process simulation, multi-product plan, MOLCA, multi-objective optimization
