System and methods for improving a performance of a production plant

Abstract

The present invention relates to improving a performance of a production plant, in particular, in chemical industry. To this end, a method for determining a reactor performance for a catalytic reactor or reactor system is provided, the method comprising the steps of:—providing reactor data indicative of a property of the catalytic reactor or the reactor system,—providing catalyst configuration data indicative of a property of at least one catalyst present in the catalytic realtor or reactor system,—providing a reactor model associated with the least one catalyst, the reactor model being configured for determining a catalytic reaction within the catalytic reactor or reactor system based on the reactor data and the catalyst configuration data,—determining the reactor performance using the reactor data, the catalyst configuration data and the reactor model, and—providing the determined reactor performance for the provided catalyst configuration.
