Process Models

IOC R&D has developed various proprietary process models for hydrocracking, DHDS, Catalytic Reforming, etc. based on process chemistry and kinetics. These mathematical models are complementary to pilot plants. These are used for interpretation of pilot plant data and scale-up applications as well as for estimation of kinetic and deactivation parameters for different catalyst systems.
