The rigorous styrene monomer(SM) reactor model is highly valuable because it can be used in optimizing the current operation, which has high operating cost due to the use of a large amount of expensive high-pressure steam. In this study, a PC based simulator for a styrene monomer reactor has been introduced. The mathematical kinetic model for an adiabatic radial-flow styrene monomer reactor has been used as a first principle model. A neural network model has been developed for the catalyst deactivation model. Consequently these two models are combined for simulation and optimization of the SM reactor. Some examples are tested with this simulator and the potential usages of this program are investigated. |
