CAT-18-871 Increasing FCC Olefin Production

Description:

This paper will highlight major effects of C3/C4 olefin driven reactor effluent changes and review strategies for circumventing potential unit limits downstream of the reactor. The focus will be avoiding brute force solutions such as adding a new parallel wet gas compressor to deal with increased compressor loadings. All of the examples presented have been implemented over the last 25 years.
