Performance Analysis of Regeneration Tower Unit 32 Continous Catalyst Regeneration Based on Coke Content in Catalysts at PT X

Abstract

PT X is a company engaged in the oil and gas sector which began operating in 1990, one of the units tasked
with regenerating catalysts from spent catalysts to regenerated catalysts, namely unit 32 Continuous Catalyst
Regeneration. Regeneration tower is the main instrumentation in the catalyst regeneration process to increase
or extend the activation period or life of the catalyst to maintain the continuity of the production process, where
the purpose of this final project is to determine the process and parts of the regeneration tower, calculate x and
y values, and analyze coke content and its correlation with the performance of the regeneration tower. In this
study the method used is linear regression correlation analysis. Based on the data and the calculations have
been carried out, the results of a linear regression correlation between the coke content and regenerated
catalyst are 0.076746, the results of a linear regression correlation between the catalyst rate with regenerated
catalyst a value of 0.018957 is obtained and for a linear regression correlation value between oxygen content
and regenerated catalyst a value of 0.026667 is obtained, so it can be concluded that the performance of the
regeneration tower is related to the coke content of the catalyst, the greater the coke content, the improve the
performance of the regeneration tower where oxygen content and catalyst rate must also be considered
