RIGOROUS ISOMERIZATION MODELING SimSci-Esscor’s™ Isomerization (ISOM) Reactor model is one of the reactor models for Refinery Modeling in SimSci-Esscor’s industry-leading ROMeo® Online Performance Suite. Isomerization is a process used in petroleum refineries to convert the low-octane normal paraffins in light straight–run naphtha into iso-paraffins to increase the octane values of gasoline pool. Accurate modeling of isomerization unit can help refiners to maximize profit from upgrading gasoline quality while minimizing the unit operation costs. The ISOM Reactor model can be used to model industrial isomerization units of different designs.

FEATURESThe ISOM model offers the following key features:
