Real time optimisation of the cat cracker.
The best way to run a cat cracker moves with feed, catalyst and prices. EntroMetrix learns your unit from the historian and re optimises every set point in under a second, inside the limits.
The optimum moves, and a fixed target lags behind.
The most profitable operating point shifts with feed quality, catalyst activity and the prices of gasoline, LPG and distillate, and it sits against several limits at once.
Operators hold targets chosen for a typical day and leave margin on the table to stay clear of the compressor, the air blower and product quality. A conventional optimiser solves on a slow cycle, so its advice arrives after the feed has moved.
Margin left on the table every hour.
A model of your unit and an agent that keeps pace.
Advises, does not act.
Always at the moving optimum.
Gasoline and LPG rise while dry gas, slurry and coke fall.
The compressor runs closer to its limit because the limit is held by construction.
Across feed and price conditions the agent captures most of the available margin, well ahead of a slow cycle.
