Abstract
This work presents the simulation and optimization of the stripping system of Magnaforming unit (U100) at Skikda’s Refinery 1, with the aim of minimizing the light hydrocarbon fraction in the treated naphtha produced from catalytic reforming. This study will explore analytical methods for characterizing petroleum products, including ASTM D86 distillation and ASTM D6729 gas chromatography, as well as numerical methods for characterizing petroleum mixtures and modeling the unit operation used (distillation). The simulations and the results were generated using ASPEN HYSYS software based on design data and the optimization was carried out using the real plant operating conditions and composition.
