Description:

Due to very high process temperature, piping in Fluid Catalytic Cracking Units (FCCUs) is lined with refractory material. Piping is necessarily designed to be flexible to limit stresses induced by thermal cycling. A combination of piping flexibility, high process flow rates and flow obstructions can lead cracks in welds and refractory material, due to excessive vibrations. Case studies in FCCU vibration are presented.
