Catalytic Reforming Reactor Section Optimization Based On A Mathematical Model Accounting The Reaction Volume Changes

Abstract

A multi-criteria issue concerning gasoline catalytic reforming reactor section optimization was stated. The following particular optimization tasks have been defined: modeling and optimization of chemical-technological catalytic processes for bulk low-octane gasoline production and for obtaining effective high-octane enhancers. Process optimization criteria have been elaborated. The issue of multi-criteria optimization of industrial gasoline reforming process conditions with the help of algorithm NSGA-II has been resolved. Pareto set and front approximations that provide for determining of compromise conditions with maximum yield of high-octane gasoline with the smallest content of benzol have been developed.
