Description:

US refineries are facing difficult challenges of reduced demand and low refining margins. Projection for future gasoline demand in the US is relatively flat at best while regulatory ethanol requirements will cut into refining supply to the gasoline market. This has a direct impact on Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) unit operation. Under this challenging environment, improving unit reliability and reducing both operational and maintenance costs will be the key focus for refiners. This paper introduces an innovative FCC cyclone technology with a proven track record of helping refineries to improve unit reliability while reducing operations and maintenance costs.
