DESCRIPTION:Presentation:\nReactor digital twins for operational excellence
\n \nSpeaker:\nToby Hallitt - Presales Solution Consultant - Siemens Digit
al Industries\n \nComplex multitubular reactors are at the heart of many c
hemical processes\, and their performance is often key to plant profitabil
ity. However\, operators typically have little visibility of internal perf
ormance\, relying instead on limited product stream instrumentation and af
ter-the-event analysis. As the supply of raw materials and demand for prod
ucts changes\, operators adopt a conservative approach to ensure productio
n. Without detailed insight into the reactor’s operation\, money can be
left on the table. Recent developments in digitalization are enabling chem
icals producers to drive operational excellence and obtain a competitive e
dge. A key component of the approach is the creation of a digital twin tha
t combines two key elements. The first is an advanced process model embody
ing deep process knowledge\, including mass and energy balances\, thermody
namics\, reactions\, heat and mass transfer relations\, and correlations f
or plant “drift” phenomena such as fouling\, degradation\, coking\, et
c. The second is data from plant operations\, augmented where appropriate
with a small number of targeted experiments. The net result is a validated
and highly predictive plant model. This presentation provides a) an overv
iew of the laboratory-to-industrial reactor approach for model-based digit
al design and optimisation of fixed bed catalytic reactors\, and b) a resu
ltant online digital twin for operational decision support that combines r
eaction models with live data from the plant.\n \nToby Hallitt - Chemical
