John Zhizhong Ding of Shell Global Solutions at the 2024 Barracuda Virtual Reactor Users’ Conference.
Summary
To ensure that production requirements of the refinery are met and value is generated, it is essential to fully utilize the Fluidized Catalytic Cracking (FCC) capacity and maintain its reliability. To address reliability issues, Shell’s fluidization group has been leveraging Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) technology in troubleshooting asset reliability issues and testing countermeasures to improve reliability. This paper showcases a collection of case studies that highlight the diverse applications of CFD in the oil and gas industry.
