FUZZY MODELING APPLICATION OF FLUID CATALYTIC CRACKING UNIT (FCCU) OF A PETROLEUM REFINERY (TÜPRAŞ)
Abstract
In this study, fuzzy modeling of FCCU in the refinery system as the most important part of Petrochemical Industry was carried out. FCCU is the most important unit in the refinery system as it is a higly nonlinear system with MIMO (Multi input-multi output), internal feedback, strongly coupling, time-varying, distributed parameter, significantly uncertain behaviours in nature. Mathematical Models is not enough to identify this system. On the occasion of this, FCCU has a characteristic specifications as a subject of Fuzzy Logic.
