Sensitivity analysis and optimization of the whole process of continuous catalytic reforming for Persian gulf star oil company using an optimized data-driven model with tuned parameters

Chemical Product and Process Modeling, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 20(1), P. 79 - 100

Published: Feb. 1, 2025

Abstract This paper applies an existing advanced model to improve key outputs in the continuous catalytic reforming (CCR) process for Persian Gulf Star Oil Company. Using tools like Aspen Custom Modeler and Plus, we focus on optimizing two main results: Research Octane Number (RON) yield. A design of experiments was conducted examine effects input variables, including reactor temperatures hydrogen-to-hydrocarbon (H₂/HC) ratio, through 256 simulations. Various data fitting methods, Response Surface Methodology (RSM), Radial Basis Function Network (RNLOOCV), Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), were applied describe behavior. The Akaike Information Criterion (AIC)-optimized ANN demonstrated best performance, offering a balanced approach between accuracy complexity. sensitivity analysis revealed that increasing improves RON but reduces yield due enhanced cracking reactions. H₂/HC ratio had minimal impact yield, primarily serving limit catalyst coke formation. Optimization using genetic algorithm confirmed optimal can be achieved within specific temperature ranges. results provide insights enhancing CCR efficiency refinery profitability.

Valorization of Biodiesel Into Bio‐Based Plasticizers: Optimization of Epoxidized Fatty Acid Isobutyl Ester Production Using Response Surface Methodology and Artificial Neural Network

European Journal of Lipid Science and Technology, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: Feb. 9, 2025

ABSTRACT Biodiesel is a promising green chemical feedstock due to its renewability and sustainability. In this study, bio‐based plasticizers, epoxidized fatty acid isobutyl esters (Ep‐FABEs), were prepared using biodiesel as through combination of transesterification the formic autocatalytic method. The effects reaction temperature, time, FA/C═C molar ratio, H 2 O /C═C ratio on conversion oxirane (RCO) during epoxidation process investigated central composite design. Both response surface methodology (RSM) artificial neural network (ANN) models developed model optimize process. Comparative analysis revealed that ANN demonstrated superior predictive capabilities, with lower mean squared error (MSE), absolute (MAE), higher coefficient determination ( R ) compared RSM model. predicted an RCO 92%, which was closely aligned experimental value 91% under optimized conditions (reaction temperature 66°C, time 6.7 h, 0.35, 2.70). Additionally, physico‐chemical properties Ep‐FABEs further analyzed. These findings provide valuable insights into production plasticizers feedstock.

Biodiesel Production Using K–Sr/CaO and CaO Catalysts Derived from Eggshells by Canola Oil Transesterification

ACS Omega, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 10(7), P. 6827 - 6838

Published: Feb. 16, 2025

Eggshell calcination at 900 °C was used to produce CaO, which afterward impregnated with K and Sr using KNO3 SrCl2·6H2O precursors, diluted in methanol, improve basicity, stability, catalytic activity. The CaO doping K–Sr affected the final catalyst's textural properties, alkalinity, basic strength due K+ Sr2+ size incorporation into lattice. SEM images elemental mapping showed a uniform distribution for K–Sr/CaO catalyst. However, carbonization modified number of sites. fresh catalysts presented 92.5% 46% biodiesel yields, respectively. In third reaction cycle, yield dropped approximately 72% 21%, this sense, method increased sites catalyst, providing higher resistance leaching compared Finally, enhanced conditions were 7.0 wt % catalyst loading, 12.5:1 methanol/oil molar ratio, 70 °C, 1 h time.
