The component developed models a HDHPLUS reactor which is a slurry technology for deep hydrocracking of vacuum residue feeds.The component developed models a HDHPLUS reactor which is a slurry technology for deep hydrocracking of vacuum residue feeds.

The paper, co-authored by Cesar PERNALETE, Bradley TORRES MANAURE and Argenis MORENO VILLAMIZAR, described also the use of this CAPE-OPEN Unit Operation within the COFE process simulator from AmsterCHEM.
