Fluid Catalytic CrackingUnit (FCC): FCC is one of the most important conversions processes used in oil refinery process. The purpose of FCC unit is to transfer heavy crude oil into light oil. Under the action of heat and catalyst, upgrades the heavier, higher-boiling fractions from the crude oil distillation by converting them into lighter and lower boiling, more valuable products like cracking gas, gasoline and diesel oil etc.
Application of FCC:
1. Many products includes ethylene, petrol, diesel, Heavy diesel, slurry oil… etc. could be obtained by using FCC.
2. PCC’s FCC has a high catalytic efficiency.
3. One of the main methods of secondary processing of oil, in the role of high temperature and catalyst to make heavy oil cracking reaction, into crack gas, gasoline, and diesel.
Advantages of FCC:
1. The process of blowing air can make the catalyst regeneration, recycling.
2. Subsequent reaction heat is provided by hot regenerative catalyst to reduce energy consumption and great economic benefits.
