Patent Document 1 discloses a catalyst utilization support method. In this method, a chemical company (user) transmits information related to a catalytic reaction that proceeds in an operating reactor to a catalyst supply company through a communication network. A catalyst supplier generates operation information for the reactor using a simulator device based on information on the catalytic reaction. The catalyst supplier returns this operation information to the chemical company through the communication network.

In Patent Document 1, for example, a dynamic model using a catalytic reaction rate equation is adopted as a prediction engine. However, since such a simulation closely simulates the shape of the reactor, the reaction model of each component, etc., enormous amounts of input data and calculation amount are required. For this reason, it is not realistic to predict the flow rate of each component using direct simulation. In direct simulation, it is not realistic to predict the operating conditions for obtaining a product having a desired composition.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a system configuration diagram for implementing a method for providing operating conditions and product composition of an RF apparatus according to the present embodiment. The method for providing the operating conditions and product composition of the RF apparatus according to the present embodiment obtains the results of the user's RF apparatus, the scheduled operating conditions, and the like, and the user's RF apparatus under the scheduled operating conditions. The composition of the product obtained when driving is provided to the terminal. In addition, the method provides the terminal with a part of operating conditions to be set when trying to obtain a product having a desired octane number under a predetermined condition.

As shown in FIG. 1, the system includes a main server 20 (device) and a data server 30. The main server 20 and the data server 30 are communicably connected. The main server 20 and the data server 30 may be integrated, or may be configured separately.

The main server 20 is connected to the terminal 10 operated by the user via the network 40. The terminal 10 and the main server 20 may be connected via a dedicated line or may be connected via an internet line. The terminal 10 has a display device integrally or separately. The terminal is an information processing device such as a computer, a tablet terminal, or a mobile phone owned by the user. The terminal may be an information processing device that is not owned by the user. For example, it may be an information processing device to which a user has logged in. The information processing device includes a processor, a storage unit that stores computer-readable instructions, and a display device.

The main server 20 may be composed of a single server or a plurality of servers. The main server 20 includes a processor 21 and a storage unit 22 that stores computer-readable instructions. The processor 21 reads the computer readable instructions stored in the storage unit 22 and executes a method for providing the operating conditions and product composition of the RF device as detailed below.

The data server 30 is composed of a recording device such as a hard disk. The data server 30 includes a bench plant database (hereinafter referred to as a bench plant DB) 31 and a user database (hereinafter referred to as a user DB) 32. The bench plant DB 31 has reference performance information. The user DB 32 has a user ID and password registered by the user, user record information, and the like. Each information recorded in the user DB 32 and the bench plant DB 31 will be described later.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart of the method according to the present embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 2, the main server 20 executes a user login process (step S01). The main server 20 displays a screen prompting the terminal 10 to input a user ID and password. The terminal 10 transmits the user ID and password input by the user to the main server 20. The main server 20 acquires this user ID and password. The main server 20 determines whether or not the acquired user ID and password match the user ID and password registered in the user DB 32. If the two match, the main server 20 determines that a specific user is logged in and proceeds with subsequent processing.

When the login process is completed, the main server 20 determines whether there is user record information in the user DB 32 (step S02). The main server 20 inquires whether there is user performance information of the user who has logged into the user DB 32.

If the user has registered user performance information in the user DB 32 in advance, or if a user who has already used this method has logged in to the main server 20, the user performance information is recorded in the user DB 32. Has been. When the main server 20 inquires whether or not the user DB 32 has the user record information, and determines that the main server 20 has the user record information in the user DB 32 (step S02: Yes), the main server 20 receives the user from the user DB 32. Is read out (step S03).

On the other hand, there may be cases where there is no user record information in the user DB 32, such as in the case of a new user. If the main server 20 determines that there is no user record information in the user DB 32 (step S02: No), the main server 20 displays a screen that prompts the terminal 10 to input the user record information. The terminal 10 transmits user result information input by the user to the main server 20. The main server 20 acquires the transmitted user record information (step S04) and writes it in the user DB 32.

Subsequently, the main server 20 reads reference performance information from the bench plant DB 31 (step S05). The main server 20 corrects the reference driving function based on the comparison between the reference performance information and the user performance information, and calculates the user driving function (step S06).

The performance information is information as to whether a product having a certain composition was obtained when a certain RF device was operated under certain operating conditions. The performance information in the user's RF device is called user performance information, and the performance information in the bench plant is called reference performance information. A bench plant is an RF apparatus with a track record of evaluating or operating various catalysts, and examples include an evaluation plant for research. Various information obtained when the bench plant is operated under various operating conditions is reference performance information.

FIG. 3 shows an example of user performance information. As shown in FIG. 3, the performance information includes at least operating conditions and information on the composition of the product obtained under the operating conditions. Actual information includes at least the type of catalyst, the number of operating days, the operating temperature (starting temperature) on the first day of operation, the operating temperature (final temperature reached) on the last day of operation, the operating pressure, the hydrogen oil ratio, and the liquid space velocity of the feedstock , And other driving conditions. The performance information includes the properties of the feedstock such as the composition, density, and distillation properties of the product obtained under the operating conditions.

(Operation function)
Information on products with a specific composition under specific operating conditions (catalyst type, operating temperature, operating days, operating pressure, hydrogen oil ratio, liquid space velocity) based on the vast amount of performance information obtained from bench plants Can be statistically grasped. A reference operation function can be derived from the relationship between the operation condition of the bench plant and the composition of the product. In other words, the reference operation function is a function representing the relationship between the operation conditions and the composition of the product obtained when the bench plant RF apparatus is operated under the operation conditions.

For example, when a raw material oil of a certain composition α is supplied to an RF apparatus of a bench plant at a certain catalyst, operating temperature, operating days, operating pressure, hydrogen oil ratio, liquid space velocity, a product of a certain composition A is obtained. To do. Further, when a raw material oil of a certain composition β is supplied to an RF apparatus of a bench plant at a certain catalyst, operating temperature, operating days, operating pressure, hydrogen oil ratio, liquid space velocity, a product of a certain composition B is obtained. To do. The relationship between the operating conditions such as the type of catalyst, the operating temperature, the operating days, the operating pressure, the hydrogen oil ratio, the liquid space velocity, and the properties of the feedstock and the product composition is the reference operating function. A huge amount of data is accumulated in the bench plant DB 31 regarding the relationship between the compositions of the products according to the type of catalyst, operating temperature, operating days, operating pressure, hydrogen oil ratio, liquid space velocity, and properties of the feedstock. Has been.
Therefore, if the catalyst type, operating temperature, operating days, operating pressure, hydrogen oil ratio, liquid space velocity, and feedstock properties are input to the main server 20, the product obtained in the bench plant using the standard operating function The composition of can be easily predicted.

However, since the user's RF device is different from the bench plant in size, shape, pipe length, etc., even if the reference operation function obtained in the bench plant is used as it is, it can be obtained by the user RF device. The composition of the resulting product cannot be predicted accurately. However, the relationship between the operating conditions such as the type of catalyst, operating temperature, operating days, operating pressure, hydrogen oil ratio, liquid space velocity, and feedstock properties in the user's RF device and the composition of the product are different from those in the bench plant. There is a certain degree of correlation.

Therefore, the present inventor corrects the reference operation function obtained from the bench plant for the user's RF device, calculates the user operation function, and uses the user operation function to generate the user operation function. It was found that the composition of the product can be easily predicted.

In addition, by using the operation function, the catalyst has a desired chemical composition in order to obtain a product having a desired composition from the operation conditions such as a predetermined catalyst type, operation pressure, hydrogen oil ratio, liquid space velocity, and feedstock properties. The operating temperature that promotes the reaction can be calculated. Further, since the deterioration of the catalyst progresses as the number of operating days elapses, it is necessary to continue the operation while setting the operation temperature high in order to promote a desired chemical reaction in the deteriorated catalyst. The degree of deterioration of this catalyst varies depending on the operating temperature, the type of catalyst, etc., but this degree of deterioration can also be calculated by using an operating function.

Also, the properties of the product obtained from the operating conditions such as operating temperature, predetermined catalyst type, operating pressure, hydrogen oil ratio, liquid space velocity, and feedstock properties are calculated for each operating day, and this is calculated for a predetermined number of operating days. If it repeats, the property of the total product in a predetermined | prescribed driving | running day can be calculated. The product properties shown in FIG. 6 and the like refer to the properties of the total product in the predetermined operating days.

Also, as the operating days pass, it is necessary to set the operating temperature higher so as to compensate for the activity of the deteriorated catalyst. When the operation function is used, the operation temperature (final temperature reached) that reaches the last day of operation can be estimated. Further, when the operating temperature exceeds the upper limit temperature set for the RF device, the RF device cannot be substantially operated. Therefore, such a situation is expressed in this specification that the life of the catalyst is exhausted. When the operation function is used, it is possible to estimate the operation days (catalyst life) until reaching the upper limit temperature set in the user's RF device.

(Driving function correction method)
For example, under the same operating conditions, the octane number of the product obtained with the user's RF device may be 80% of the octane number of the product obtained with the bench plant RF device. In this case, the user operation function is corrected by correcting the reference operation function so that the octane number of the product obtained by the user's RF device is 80% of the octane number of the product obtained by the bench plant RF device in the operation condition. obtain.
Alternatively, the user's RF device is operated at an operating pressure that is set to 10% higher than the operating pressure set for the bench plant RF device with the same composition of the product obtained from the bench plant RF device as in other operating conditions. May be close to the composition of the product obtained. In this case, the user operation function is obtained by correcting the reference operation function so that 1.1 times the operation pressure input by the user is used as the operation pressure.
However, a simplified model is described here, and in practice, various corrections are made according to the operating conditions of the user's RF device and the composition of the product.

After calculating the user driving function as described above, the main server 20 stores the calculated user driving function in the user DB 32.

Next, the main server 20 acquires schedule conditions from the terminal 10 (step S07). FIG. 4 shows schedule conditions input by the user. Scheduled conditions are various conditions to be set when the user operates his / her RF device.

4 to FIG. 6, a case where a certain user has determined a predetermined scheduled operation day and wants to know the final temperature reached when only the operation pressure is changed from the existing operation conditions will be described. Whether the final temperature will be within the upper limit temperature of the user's RF device when only the operating pressure is changed from the existing operating conditions and the operation is continued for the planned number of operating days while obtaining a product having the desired octane number There are times when the user wants to know. A case where the user uses the apparatus according to the present embodiment in such a situation will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 to 6.

In the RF apparatus, the catalyst is periodically regenerated to recover the activity of the catalyst and used again. This reproduction timing is set for each user's RF device. It is necessary to stop the operation of the RF device at the timing of this regeneration. That is, there is a limit to the number of days that the RF device can be operated. For this reason, the user sets the operation days within the number of days that can be continued. In the following description, the number of operating days determined by the restrictions of the RF device may be referred to as the prescribed operating days.

In general, it is often the case that the RF apparatus is operated under a condition that is partially changed from the previous operating condition. For example, it is often the case that only the operating pressure is changed and the other conditions remain the past operating conditions (the operating conditions input in the performance information). Therefore, in the present embodiment, the operation condition changed by the user is called a scheduled condition, and the operation condition that diverts the operation condition input in the performance information is called a diversion condition.

As shown in FIG. 4, the main server 20 includes, as scheduled conditions, an operating pressure, a hydrogen oil ratio, a liquid space velocity, a property of the raw material oil, at least one target octane number of the product, and a scheduled operation. Either the number of days or the final temperature reached is acquired from the terminal 10 (step S07).
In addition, the main server 20 sets, as the diversion conditions, items that have not been input as scheduled conditions among the operating pressure, the hydrogen oil ratio, the liquid space velocity, the properties of the raw material oil, and the target octane number of the product. Each item is diverted (step S07). This diversion condition can be acquired from the terminal 10 or the user database 32.

In the present embodiment, the main server 20 acquires the scheduled operating days and the operating pressure from the terminal 10 as the scheduled conditions. Moreover, the main server 20 acquires the hydrogen oil ratio, the liquid space velocity, the property of the raw material oil, and the target octane number of the product from the user database 32 as the diversion conditions. In this example, the final temperature is an item calculated using the user operation function.

The main server 20 calculates the final reached temperature from the acquired scheduled condition, diversion condition, and user operation function (step S08). FIG. 5 is a graph showing the relationship between the operation days and the operation temperature obtained from the user operation function.

As described above, the operation function is used to obtain a product having a desired composition from the operation conditions such as a predetermined catalyst type, operation pressure, hydrogen oil ratio, liquid space velocity, and feedstock properties. The operating temperature that promotes the desired chemical reaction can be calculated. The operating temperature at the first day of operation that promotes the desired chemical reaction on the undegraded catalyst is called the starting temperature. This starting temperature is the Y intercept in FIG.
Further, by using the operation function, the degree of deterioration of the catalyst can be calculated from the operation temperature, the type of catalyst, and the like. This degree of deterioration is shown as the slope of the graph in FIG.

That is, the Y intercept and inclination in FIG. 5 can be calculated from the acquired scheduled conditions and diversion conditions and the user operation function, and the straight line X can be calculated therefrom. Note that this straight line X itself indicates the transition of the operation temperature according to the operation date when the user's RF device is operated under the scheduled condition. That is, the straight line X indicates the operation temperature corresponding to the operation day to be set when trying to obtain a product having a target octane number under the operation conditions set as the scheduled condition and the diversion condition. In addition, the operating temperature at the intersection of the straight line X and the specified operating days set as the scheduled condition is the final temperature reached. The graph shown in FIG. 5 is shown for convenience of explanation, and the main server 20 may be configured to be displayed on the terminal 10 or may be configured not to be displayed.

The main server 20 outputs the calculated final reached temperature to the terminal 10 via the network 20 (step S08).

As described above, the main server 20 calculates the composition of the product from the scheduled condition, the diversion condition, and the user operation function, and outputs it to the terminal 10 via the network 20 (step S09). As described above, the properties of the product obtained from the operating conditions such as the operating temperature, the type of the predetermined catalyst, the operating pressure, the hydrogen oil ratio, the liquid space velocity, and the properties of the raw material oil for each operating day using the user operating function. Can be calculated. The main server 20 repeats the calculation of the properties of the product for the scheduled operating days, and calculates the total product properties for the scheduled operating days shown in FIG.

In the above-described embodiment, a situation has been described in which the user wants to know the final temperature reached on the last day of the specified operation days under a specific operation condition. For this reason, the main server 20 first notifies the final reached temperature (step S08), and then notifies the composition of the product (step S09). However, the user may want to know what product composition is obtained at the end of the planned number of operating days under specific operating conditions. In this case, the main server 20 may notify the composition of the product without notifying the final temperature reached. Alternatively, the composition of the product may be notified and the final temperature reached may be notified.

Next, a situation will be described in which, when the upper limit temperature of the user's RF device is set, it is desired to know whether or not the catalyst lifetime will be exhausted when only the liquid space velocity is changed from the actual value. In this case, as shown in FIG. 7, the item that the user wants to know is the planned operation days. Items set by the user as the scheduled conditions are the final temperature reached and the liquid space velocity. In addition, the target octane number of the product, the operating pressure, and the hydrogen oil ratio are the diversion conditions.

As described above, when the calculation is performed using the scheduled condition, the diversion condition, and the user operation function, the start temperature of the first operation day and the degree of deterioration of the catalyst can be calculated. Thereby, the graph shown in FIG. 8 can be created. Further, the scheduled operation days calculated by such calculation are output to the terminal 10.

In FIG. 8, the number of operation days when the operation temperature calculated from the start temperature and the degree of deterioration of the catalyst reaches the upper limit temperature is shown as the planned operation days (lifetime). Since the operating temperature cannot exceed the upper limit temperature, the number of operating days when the operating temperature reaches the upper limit temperature is expressed as the life. Moreover, in FIG. 8, the operation days which should be continuously drive | operated set to the user's RF apparatus set from a maintenance period etc. are shown as regulation operation days. Note that the specified operation days are not calculated from a user operation function or the like.

In the example shown in FIG. 8, the scheduled operation days (lifetime) are shorter than the specified operation days. That is, in this example, it is indicated that the main server 20 cannot be operated up to the specified operation days under the scheduled conditions set by the user. As described above, the apparatus according to the present embodiment can also be used for life determination. In this case, the composition of the product as shown in FIG. 6 may be calculated and output to the terminal 10.

In the first case described above, the main server 20 acquires the scheduled operation days and the operating pressure as the scheduled conditions, the diverted conditions are the diverted conditions, the hydrogen oil ratio, the liquid space velocity, the properties of the feedstock, and the product Although the example which acquired the target octane number was demonstrated, this invention is not limited to this.
One of the scheduled operation days or the final reached temperature provided by the apparatus of the present embodiment is either the scheduled operation days or the final reached temperature, the operating pressure, the hydrogen oil ratio, If it is configured to acquire the liquid space velocity, the properties of the feedstock, and the target octane number of the product, it can be calculated.
Further, the user may set all of the operating pressure, the hydrogen oil ratio, the liquid space velocity, the properties of the raw material oil, and the target octane number of the product as scheduled conditions, and at least of these items. One may be set as the scheduled condition.

The apparatus and method according to the present embodiment can predict the composition of the product accurately with a smaller processing load than when direct simulation is performed. In addition, the apparatus and method according to the present embodiment are difficult to obtain by direct simulation, and can calculate items such as operating temperature and scheduled operating days that the user is seeking. In addition, the apparatus and method according to the present embodiment are intended for the user who wants to know the composition of the product when the operating pressure is changed, or the life of the RF device when the liquid space velocity is changed. It can meet various requests.

<Modification 1>
In the present invention, for example, the user sets the planned values for the catalyst type other than the operating pressure, the operating days, the target octane number, the hydrogen oil ratio, and the liquid space velocity, and knows the operating pressure that can maximize the profit. It can also be applied to cases where you want to Hereinafter, Modification 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 9 to 11.

FIG. 9 is a flowchart of a method according to this modification. FIG. 10 shows schedule conditions input by the user in this modification. In FIG. 10, user performance information is also displayed.

In FIG. 9, steps S11 to S16 are the same as steps S01 to S06 of FIG. Similar to the above-described embodiment, the main server 20 transmits the type of catalyst, the number of operating days, the final temperature reached, the operating pressure, the hydrogen oil ratio, the liquid space velocity, from the user terminal 10 to the user RF device. The user performance information including the properties of the raw material oil and the composition of the product is acquired (step S13 or step S14). The main server 20 compares the acquired user performance information with the reference performance information, corrects the reference operation function, and calculates the user operation function (step S16). Furthermore, the main server 20 acquires either the scheduled operation days or the final temperature reached (step S17). In the present modification, in step S17, the main server 20 acquires the scheduled operation days.

Next, the main server 20 sets one of the operating pressure, the hydrogen oil ratio, the liquid space velocity, and the target octane number of the product as a selection item that the user wants to know (step S18). In this modification, in step S18, the user selects the operating pressure as a selection item, and the main server 20 acquires a signal indicating that the selection item is the operating pressure.

Next, the main server 20 calculates a lower limit value and an upper limit value according to the value of the corresponding item of the user performance information for the selected item, and sets a calculation range (step S19). In this modification, an operating pressure is set as a selection item. Therefore, the main server 20 refers to the value of the operating pressure in the user performance information and multiplies the value by a predetermined coefficient to calculate the lower limit value and the upper limit value. For example, the main server 20 calculates the lower limit value by multiplying the value of the operating pressure of the user performance information by 0.95 (2.04 × 0.95 = 1.938 [MPa]), and the operating pressure of the user performance information. Is multiplied by 1.05 to calculate an upper limit (2.04 × 1.05 = 2.142 [MPa]). In this way, the main server 20 sets a calculation range where the operating pressure is 1.938 to 2.142 [MPa].

The main server 20 sets a predetermined number of calculated values within the calculation range for this selection item (step S20). For example, the calculation range of 1.938 to 2.142 [MPa] is divided into 50, and 51 calculated points are set by combining the divided points, the lower limit value, and the upper limit value. For example, 1.3838 is set as the calculation value 1, 1.94208 as the calculation point 2, 1.94616 as the calculation point 3,.

In addition, the calculation method of a lower limit or an upper limit is arbitrary. Also, the number of calculated values and the setting method are arbitrary. For example, 50 to 99.5% of the value of the corresponding item of the user record information can be set as the lower limit value, and 100.5 to 150% of the value of the corresponding item of the user record information can be set as the upper limit value. If the coefficients used to calculate the upper and lower limits are large, the user is more likely to find optimal operating conditions that are not anticipated. However, the calculation range increases, so the processing burden increases and precise values are calculated. It becomes difficult to do.
The number of calculation points can be determined according to the processing load on the computer and the precision of the operating conditions requested by the user. If the calculated number is large, a more precise value can be calculated, but the processing load increases.

Next, the main server 20 sets the value of the user performance information about the operating pressure, the hydrogen oil ratio, the liquid space velocity, the non-selected items among the target octane number of the product, the properties of the raw material oil, and the catalyst. This is set as a diversion condition (step S21). In this modification, as shown in FIG. 10, the values of the user performance information are used as the values of the type of catalyst, the number of operating days, the target octane number, the hydrogen oil ratio, and the liquid space velocity, and the diversion conditions are set.

Based on the diversion conditions and the user operation function, the main server 20 determines all the calculated values of the selection items for the period until the operation days reach the planned operation days or the period until the operation temperature reaches the final temperature. The properties of the product are calculated (step S22). In the present modification, the diversion conditions shown in FIG. 10 are applied to the user operation function, and the generation period is calculated for the period from the calculation point 1 to the calculation point 51 for the period until the operation days reach the scheduled number of days. Calculate the properties of the object.

The main server 20 calculates the total profit for the period until the operating temperature reaches the final temperature based on the properties of the products of all the calculated values of the selection items (step S23). In step S22, since the property of the product for the calculation point 1 to the calculation point 51 is calculated, the profit for the period can be calculated based on this. For example, by using the price per unit mass for C5P, the profit for the C5P period can be calculated from the composition and the amount of C5P produced. Revenue is calculated for each composition, and when these are summed, the total revenue for the period can be calculated. The total profit obtained in this way is calculated for each calculation point.

The main server 20 specifies the value of the selection item that maximizes the profit (step S24). FIG. 11 shows the total profit for the period for each calculation point obtained in step S23. As shown in FIG. 11, different profits are shown for each calculation point, and the calculation point with the largest profit is identified from these profits. In the example shown in FIG. 11, the profit at the calculation point 21 is the largest. Therefore, the main server 20 specifies the operating pressure 2.0196 [MPa] at the calculation point 21 and outputs it to the user terminal 10. Alternatively, the main server 20 may output the value of the operating pressure at which the profit is the largest to the user terminal 10 together with the calculated profit.

Alternatively, in step S24, the main server 20 may obtain an approximate curve from FIG. 11 and specify the value of the selection item that is the maximum value or the maximum value. According to this, even when the optimum value is located between two calculation points, the value of the selection item that can maximize the profit can be output to the user.

In this way, it is possible to meet the user's request to know the operating pressure that can maximize the profit under the scheduled conditions other than the operating pressure. In the above description, the case where the operation pressure is set as the selection item has been described. However, as the selection item, any one of the hydrogen oil ratio, the station space velocity, and the target octane number of the product may be selected.

According to this modification, it is possible to provide the user with operating conditions that can maximize profits without using direct simulation.

<Modification 2>
The present invention can also be applied to a case where the user wants to know the operating conditions where the life of the catalyst used in the RF device currently in operation is exhausted at the end of the specified operating days. Hereinafter, Modification 2 will be described with reference to FIGS.

FIG. 12 is a flowchart of a method according to this modification. In FIG. 12, steps S41 to S46 are the same as steps S01 to S06 of FIG. Similar to the above-described embodiment, the main server 20 uses the type of catalyst, the number of operating days, the operating temperature according to the operating days, the operating pressure, the hydrogen oil ratio, from the user's terminal 10 to the user's RF device. User performance information including the liquid space velocity, the properties of the feedstock, and the product composition is acquired (step S43 or step S44). The main server 20 compares the acquired user performance information with the reference performance information, corrects the reference operation function, and calculates the user operation function (step S46).
Further, the main server 20 acquires both the specified operation days and the final temperature reached (step S47). In the second modification, unlike the first modification, in step S47, the main server 20 acquires both the specified operation days and the final temperature reached.

FIG. 13 is a graph showing changes in operation days and operation temperatures. In FIG. 13, the solid line indicates the transition of the operating temperature in the operating days of the user performance information. In FIG. 13, a two-dot chain line indicates a prediction when the RF device is operated until the last day of the specified operation days with the operation conditions currently set by the user. As shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 13, when the user's RF device is operated until the last day of the specified operation days under the operation condition of the user performance information, the operation temperature does not reach the final temperature. That is, the deterioration rate is low under the operating conditions currently set by the user, and the catalyst is not used effectively. Therefore, in this modified example, operating conditions are provided to the user such that the life of the catalyst is exhausted to the specified operating days. The exhaustion of the catalyst life to the specified number of operating days means that the operating temperature reaches the final temperature at the end of the specified operating days.

In order to control the life of the catalyst in this way, in FIG. 13, a straight line from the point A of the operating temperature on the last day of the user's operating days (current day) to the point B of the final temperature reached on the last day of the specified operating days. The operation conditions for increasing the operation temperature may be determined along with the above. In FIG. 13, the deterioration rate is represented by a slope as an increase in operating temperature with respect to the number of operating days. For this reason, the slope of the straight line from point A to point B can be called the target deterioration rate. The present modification provides the user with operating conditions that achieve this target deterioration rate.

Therefore, in this modification, the main server 20 calculates the target deterioration rate from the last day of the operation days in the user performance information, the operation temperature at the last day of the operation days, the specified operation days, and the final temperature reached (step S48). Specifically, the target deterioration rate can be obtained by (final reached temperature−operation temperature at the last day of the operation days of the user performance information) / (specified operation days−the last day of the operation days of the user performance information).

The following steps S49 to S52 are the same as steps S18 to S21 of the first modification. The main server 20 sets one of the operation pressure, the hydrogen oil ratio, the liquid space velocity, and the target octane number of the product as a selection item that the user wants to know (step S49). For the selected item, the main server 20 calculates a lower limit value and an upper limit value according to the value of the corresponding item in the user performance information, and sets a calculation range (step S50). The main server 20 sets a predetermined number of calculated values within the calculation range for the selected item (step S51). The main server 20 stores user performance information on operating pressure, hydrogen oil ratio, liquid space velocity, unselected items among the target octane number of the product, the properties of the feedstock oil, and the type of catalyst. Values are set, and these are set as diversion conditions (step S52).

The main server 20 applies the diversion condition to the user operation function for all the calculated values of the selection items, and calculates the respective degradation rates (step S53). FIG. 14 is a graph showing the relationship between the operating pressure and the deterioration rate when the user sets the operating pressure as a selection item as an example of this modification. As shown in FIG. 14, the deterioration rate corresponding to the calculated value is calculated.

The main server 20 specifies a calculated value whose deterioration rate is closest to the target deterioration rate among all the calculated values of the selection items. In FIG. 14, the point closest to the straight line indicating the target deterioration rate is a calculated value that is closest to the target deterioration rate. Therefore, for example, the main server 20 specifies that the calculated value (value on the horizontal axis) at this point is the calculated value that is closest to the target deterioration rate, and outputs the calculated value to the user terminal.
Note that, as in Modification 1, an approximate curve may be calculated in FIG. 14 and a calculated value such that this approximate curve becomes the target deterioration rate may be output to the user terminal.

As described above, according to this modification, it is possible to provide an operating condition in which the life of the catalyst used by the user in the RF apparatus currently in operation is exhausted at the end of the specified operating days. According to the present modification, it is possible to provide an operating condition in which the life of the catalyst is completely exhausted at the end of the specified operating days without using direct simulation.

As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was described, it cannot be overemphasized that the technical scope of this invention should not be interpreted limitedly by description of this embodiment. This embodiment is merely an example, and it is understood by those skilled in the art that various modifications of the embodiment are possible within the scope of the invention described in the claims. The technical scope of the present invention should be determined based on the scope of the invention described in the claims and the equivalents thereof.
