Descripción de las corrientes en un tubo elevador a través de la distribución gamma

Abstract

The objective of the work is to describe the feed and product streams of the riser of fluid catalytic cracking units using continuous thermodynamic. These streams contain a large number of components and continuous thermodynamic can estimate composition by groups of components, using a distribution function. The parameters of the gamma distribution of the feed and product streams for several industrial cases were determined. The results indicate that continuous thermodynamic can well predict the distribution of the components of the streams in the riser. It is concluded that the proposed methodology can be applied in a refinery to evaluate the composition of the products of catalytic disintegration in a broad interval of molecular mass.
