Summary

SimSci-Esscor’s fluid

catalytic cracker (FCC)

Reactor Model provides

you with a key component

of the refinery, FCC

units, within the ROMeo

Refinery Modeling

software so that the

refinery can be simulated,

monitored and optimized.

Tested and proven on

industrial units, the model

gives the flexibility of

tuning parameters online,

providing an accurate

representation of your

FCC reactor.
