A Delayed Coking Model Built Using the Structure-Oriented Lumping Method
A total of 7004 types of molecular lumps and 92 types of reaction rules were proposed to characterize the feedstock and describe the reaction behaviors of delayed coking. The reaction rate constants were estimated as equations of structure vectors. A reaction kinetic model has been built to predict the products distribution of delayed coking. The good prediction accuracy of the model has been proven by the comparison of calculation results and experimental results of delayed coking.
