B. Design and Operations Simulation models development: The latest kinetic theories, fuzzy logic, neural network and chaos theory supported by reactors and downstream compression and fractionation train recovery expert systems covers full range operating loads, severity, for the latest licensors design

*The ethylbenzene reactor accurately predicted the impact of feed ethylene to aromatics ratio, PEB(polyethyl benzene ) recycle ratio, reacotor temperature, operating loads impact on EB yields
*The styrene rector accurately predicted the impact of feed EB to steam ratio, reactor temperatures, operating load, catalyst decay and reactor pressure impact on styrene yields
