TRANSCRIPT
Stop guessing and take a look inside your reactor to learn how it operates
! Product generation rates and the limiters
! Causes of emissions (e.g., NOx or SOx)
! Start-up, turndown, or upset operating conditions
! Fluidization mode (spouted-bed, bubbling bed, turbulent bed)
! Gas and particle residence time distributions
! Bed entrainment rate by particle size
! 3-D mixing profiles
! Temperature profiles (hot or cold spots)
! Solids flux, circulation rates, choked flows
! Erosion locations on walls and internals
! Cyclone loadings, dipleg plugging

A commercial FCC regenerator customer model reveals the spatial extent of coke burn-off from the spent catalyst. Customer is correcting poor gas/particle flow distribution in order to reduce afterburn and related NOx / SOx emissions, and to optimize the heat balance of the process.
