ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1021/ie050423f | Abstract: | Hydrocracking is a petroleum refining process where cracking occurs simultaneously with hydrogenation to convert heavy petroleum feedstocks into desired lighter products. In this study, multi-objective optimization of an industrial hydrocracking unit has been performed for the first time, to find scope for further improvements and to provide a range of optimal solutions. The reactor model was simulated based on a discrete lumped model approach to kinetic modeling. The kinetic and product distribution parameters were fine-tuned using available industrial data. The real-coded elitist nondominated sorting genetic algorithm was used to carry out the multi-objective optimization study. The Pareto-optimal solutions for the hydrocracker unit are presented, and their significant features are discussed. © 2006 American Chemical Society. | Source Title: | Industrial and Engineering Chemistry Research | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/89453 | ISSN: | 08885885 | DOI: | 10.1021/ie050423f |
