Petro-SIM v7.6 highlights

  • New FTR-SIM (Fischer-Tropsch Reactor Model). Simulates Fischer-Tropsch synthesis for SAF production, and enables users to optimize operations and model the integration with downstream hydroprocessing for a complete digital twin of sustainable fuel production.
  • New NOMAD Solver for Optimization. Solves difficult blackbox optimization problems to optimize energy efficiency while streamlining production planning and reducing emissions.
  • Advanced Polymer Modeling Powered by Predici. Predicts polymer properties, optimizes grade transitions, and monitors catalyst impacts to support dynamic production digital twins to minimize downtime and off-spec material.
  • Enhanced Assay Work-Up Tools. Handle complex assay cut structures and overlapping data with greater accuracy.
  • Renewables and Hydroprocessing Enhancements (DHTR-SIM, HXX-SIM). More robust hydrotreating, isomerization, and hydrocracking simulations. The upgrades include liquid recycle and external gas quench features, which optimize reactor performance and reduce solving times by up to 30%.
  • FCC-SIM Improvements for Bio-Oil Co-Processing. Improves assessment of inert loads in FCC overheads during co-processing bio-oils to help control emissions and optimize product quality.
  • And many more technical updates aiming to automate the entire value chain to streamline operations, boost productivity and flexibility, while supporting an integrated process, energy, emission, and economics model that manages emissions to ensure compliance and optimize sustainability
