Description:

Concerns about fossil fuel supplies and their environmental consequences have spurred the utilization of renewable streams for light olefins and transportation fuels production. Fortunately, the expertise accumulated by the petroleum industry over the last century can be successfully used to adapt existing processes to use unconventional streams. Some of these technologies are extremely flexible, such as FCC, or Catalytic Cracking, which has been widely employed for decades in petroleum refineries, for the production of high octane gasoline. The FCC flexibility can be successfully used to process renewable raw materials as different as alcohols and oils. This paper shows how FCC technology can be modified to process many different renewable raw materials, including ethanol and vegetable oils.
