The Deer Park Fluidized Catalytic Cracking (FCC) unit processes approximately 70,000 bpd of hydrotreated vacuum and coker gasoils and untreated heavy vacuum gasoil (VGO). A new FCC reactor, riser, stripper and catalyst standpipes were commissioned at Deer Park Refining in December 2012. Shell Oil Company operates the approximately 330,000 bpd crude oil refinery in Deer Park,Texas, the 11th largest in the United States, which is owned in partnership with P.M.I. Norteamerica, SA. de C.V. (PEMEX) the Mexican state-owned petroleum company. The new state-of-the-art FCCU at Deer Park replaced an older three-vessel Shell FCC configuration commissioned in 1984. The 2012 revamp incorporated the following well established Shell FCC technologies: a. Feedstock atomization injection nozzles. b. Reactor riser technology. c. Closed reactor cyclones with vortex stabilizers and coke catchers. d. High flux Pentaflow™ stripper technology. e. Regenerator and spent catalyst circulation enhancement technologies. f. A new more reliable “square bend” design spent catalyst riser.
