AM-05-26 Integrating Albemarle RESOLVE Desulfurization Technology with Novel Petro-Canada Process Concepts in Commercial FCCU Operations

Description:

In this paper, we detail Petro-Canada’s experience in integrating Albemarle’s RESOLVE sulfur reduction technology with a combination of innovative process ideas. These concepts include heavy naphtha recycle, coprocessing of hydrogen donor feeds, and recycle of LCO to a specially designed stripper reactor. Special attention is paid to the interaction of deep FCC feed hydrodesulfurization with the FCC performance. The results demonstrate that very low FCC gasoline sulfur levels can be achieved without significant capital investment through novel approaches to recycle, creative integration of CF`- FCCU designs and operations, and application of state-of-the-art sulfur reduction additive technology.
