[Case Study] Optimization of Hydrocarbon Reforming Reaction Process

Introducing an optimization case that performed comprehensive result evaluation with rich post-processing features!

We will introduce a case where our "modeFRONTIER" was applied to optimize the hydrocarbon reforming reaction process. By coupling with the detailed chemical reaction analysis program CHEMKIN, we varied the pressure P, preheating temperature Tin, amount of oxygen, and amount of water vapor to explore the operating point where the H2 concentration is maximized and the CH4 and CO concentrations are minimized. This problem is highly nonlinear, and as a result of multi-objective optimization, it was found that the set of optimal solutions becomes discrete between CO and CH4. Even in such cases, by utilizing the rich post-processing capabilities of modeFRONTIER, comprehensive result evaluation becomes possible. 【Case Study】 ■ Software Used: modeFRONTIER, CHEMKIN ■ Objective: To explore the operating point where the H2 concentration is maximized and the CH4 and CO concentrations are minimized ■ Result: It was found that the set of optimal solutions becomes discrete between CO and CH4 ■ Effect: Comprehensive result evaluation is possible by using the rich post-processing capabilities *For more details, please refer to the external link or feel free to contact us.
