Simulation: Continuing Yesterday’s Analysis

Yesterday I analyzed some of the considerations involved in modeling a section of a petrochemical refining process, namely that of hydrodesulfurization. That is adding hydrogen to hydrocarbons containing sulfur in the presence of a catalyst at an elevated temperature so … Continue reading

Simulations: What Gets Modeled And What Doesn’t

When I’m not flogging away at code these days I’m thinking about continuous simulations and the details that get modeled within them. Specifically I’ve been reading about and thinking about operations in petrochemical refineries, and even more specifically certain classes … Continue reading
