Dynamic and control of fluidized catalytic crackers. Part 1. Modelling of the current generation of FCCs. A. Arbel et al. Ind. Engng. Chem. Res., April 1995, 34(4), 1228--1243.

A model is presented which is based on a more detailed description of the kinetics in the reactor and in the regenerator using published data on FCC performance and kinetic rates. A complete description of the kinetics of combustion of carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide including the effect of catalytic combustion promoters is included. Reactor kinetics are based on a 10 lump model which allows for feed and catalyst characterization by experiment. The model is in good agreement with observed trends in industrial units. 53 refs.
