AM-08-50 FCC Catalyst Optimization: A Dynamic Approach for Today’s Changing Feedstocks & Refinery Economics

Description:

This paper will both describe the concept, and provide the tools to dynamically adjust catalyst formulation in conjunction with changes in feed quality and refinery economics. This transient formulation will provide substantial improvements in yields above what a single catalyst formulation can achieve over a wide range of feeds. A second major benefit is that the actual range of feeds that can be processed by the unit will also expand.
