Description:

The FCCU is commonly referred to as the trashcan of the refinery since most undesirable and opportunity feedstocks are normally sent there to be processed. While FCC engineers may not be able to choose their feed, a greater understanding of feed properties and their effect on yields and performance aids in troubleshooting unit shifts and optimizing unit operation. This presentation examines FCC feedstock sources, feedstock characterization, the effects of boiling point and hydrocarbon type on yields, and the impact of feed impurities. The application of tools to predict the impact of feeds on the unit is also covered.
