Description:

With the Clean Air Act Amendment (CAAA) of 1990, U.S. refiners have been required to manufacture low sulfur (500 ppmw) diesel for on-road use. Many refiners pretreat FCC unit feed to improve yields. Typically, low sulfur diesel production and FCC feed pretreating are performed in separate dedicated units. Obviously, each unit is operated for different objectives. Individually, these topics, low sulfur diesel production and FCC feed pretreating, have been well covered in the literature. As a way to reduce unit capital costs, manufacture of low sulfur diesel and FCC feed pretreatment has been combined in one unit. This paper presents the background philosophy and operating data of one such unit operating on the U. S. Gulf Coast.
