Abstract
The R-101 reactor is one of the units in the Catalytic Condensation Unit (CCU), XXX Refinery. This reactor functions to reprocess the mixed C4 feed originating from the RCC Complex processing to have a higher selling value such as propylene and LPG. In this reactor, there is a polymerization reaction between the feed and the catalyst and exothermic heat transfer so that a series of control instrumentation is needed to maintain the temperature of the incoming feed at the reactor inlet. Temperature is a factor influencing conversion. The temperature control system in the reactor R-101 is a series of cascade controls by temperature outlet heater E-102 with flow steam flowing in heater E-102. This control system will be more effective if the system response is stable, namely the shorter ascent and steady-state parameters, as well as the small overshoot value. One way to do this is by tuning the PID parameters of the controller. After tuning the PID parameters for temperature control in the Reactor R 101A, it can be seen that the response graph with the Ziegler Nichols method has the most stable response compared to the actual process response and the Tyreus-Luyben tuning method but still has the same delay time parameter of 90 seconds, the long incline and steady-state is 500 seconds, but the smallest overshoot is only 0.9%.
