SUM-24-35 FCC Profitability-Maximizing Butylene Yields Through Catalyst Design and Evaluating Complex Operational Changes via Modeling and Testing

Description:

In this presentation, we will detail the close collaboration between Marathon Petroleum Corporation (MPC) and BASF to introduce a new catalyst technology to meet the market demand for butylenes yield and selectivity and high-octane gasoline, from development, evaluation, commercialization, to deployment of the new technology. These commercial trial results are the next step forward for LPG olefins maximization and selectivity, demonstrating significant economic value across a wide range of unit configurations and constraints for a refiner continually striving to be at the forefront of FCC catalyst technology.
