Simulation and optimisation of operations and troubleshooting for aromatics transalkylation unit (Tatoray)
Abstract
Oil refineries have been using process simulation softwares for operation optimisation, analysis and troubleshoot- ing, hence contributing to the improvement of production efficiency as well as reliability and stability of plant operation. In this research, the aromatics transalkylation unit (Tatoray) of Licensor UOP was simulated by UOP/Honeywell licensed Unisim Design software. Operation optimisation opportunities for this unit were studied and troubleshooting of
