Abstract

Hydroisomerisation is one of the most important processes that has been used in refineries to convert low quality light naphtha from CDU (crude distillation unit) into high octane number isomerate for gasoline pool. The dynamic simulation of this process will be applied to evaluate the changes of technological and operational conditions in the refineries and calculate the material balance and energy balance for optimisation of technologies in the unit. In this research, the hydroisomerisation process will be simulated by Unisim Design software (Honeywell/UOP). The data collected can be used in the operation and control process and optimisation of the hydrogen/hydrocarbon ratio for hydroisomerisation unit.
