Description:

Worldwide demand for propylene continues to rise at a rapid pace. Consequently propylene continues to command a substantial price premium over most other refined products. Refiners have long exploited this price structure by designing and operating their conventional Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) units to produce higher levels of propylene. In recent years refiners have extended this practice to converting residual feedstocks to propylene. This paper explores the technical challenges and opportunities presented when targeting high propylene production from a Residual Fluid Catalytic Cracking (RFCC) unit. The discussion will focus on the operation of propylene targeted grass-roots RFCC units designed by UOP and commissioned in the past few years. The discussion will also include a summary of advances in RFCC operations and reliability.
