This presentation by Ray Fletcher discusses a case study set forth in CAT-16-17: The Experience of a Team of Experts to Resolve Severe Regenerator Maldistribution, which was presented at the AFPM 2016 Cat Cracker Seminar. Fletcher demonstrates how the Barracuda VR was used to analyze issues.

This presentation by Peter Blaser presents the relationship between simulation and refinery economics, and demonstrates the concepts via industrial case studies from multiple global refiners.

This presentation by Peter Blaser outlines key processes simulated by Barracuda Virtual Reactor, enabling operators to get a virtual “look inside” their FCCU.

This presentation by Peter Blaser presents a case study for an FCC regenerator experiencing severe maldistribution resulting in high afterburn, intermittent catalyst losses and excessive CO and NOx emissions.

This presentation by Sam Clark discusses how numerical simulations of a PSRI cold-flow FCC stripper experiment with subway grating baffles were performed using the Virtual Reactor Simulation and compares the results with measurements from PSRI’s Research Report No.88.

This presentation by Dr. Bruce Adkins and Dr. Neeti Kapur discusses how Inaeris Technologies’ pilot-scale cold flow unit was used to calibrate the Virtual Reactor model development for both catalyst-only and catalyst-biomass co-feed operation.

This presentation by Ray Fletcher provides an overview of both stable and unstable forms of afterburn, and shows how the Barracuda Virtual Reactor is used to troubleshoot afterburn issues in FCC regenerators.
