An entire set of molecular-level modeling approaches from feedstocks to products, including feedstock molecular reconstruction, reaction-network auto-generation and cracking unit simulation are described. Multi-level control and optimization methods are exhibited, including at the operational, cycle, plant and enterprise level. Relevant software packages are introduced. Finally, an outlook in terms of future directions is presented.
