    This document provides an introduction and history of fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) units, which have been a major secondary refining process since 1942. It discusses how FCC units work and their importance as the "work horses" of refineries. The document also outlines the development of FCC technology over time, from fixed bed cracking to today's circulating fluidized bed systems. It provides a overview of the typical configuration of an FCC/RFCC unit and identifies the main operational areas including feed preheat, conversion, fractionation, and product recovery.

    FCC FUNDAMENTALS : OPERATIONS & TROUBLESHOOTING

    PRESENTED BY : S. PALIT (DMPN)

    INTRODUCTION

    Major Secondary Process since 1942 400 FCC Units in World

    Complex, Interlinked but Flexible


    Faces New Developments & Challenges

    FCC IS THE WORK HORSE OF THE REFINERY

    FCC HISTORY
    Thermal cracking: Heating in big vessels, 1930 Activated alumina accidentally finds way to the thermal Vat Conversion increased suddenly & significantly Thus discovered by Eugene Houdry that Alumina was the catalyst for the extra cracking 1930

    DEVELOPMENT IN FCC

    Fixed bed (1936 1941) Cyclically feed and regeneration air Constantly changing catalyst activity 140,000 BPD total capacity in 1940 Moving bed (1941 1960) Continuous cracking process using Thermofor kiln Thermofor Catalytic Cracking (TCC) 300,000 BPD capacity by the end of World War-II
    First up flow circulating system started in May 1942 Fluid bed cracking (FCC) attained 1700 BPD capacity by July 1942 being continue till today

    REQUIREMENT OF FCC
    Deteriorating Crude Quality Refinery With Surplus Residue In excess of DCU

    FCC
    High Demand For Lighter Distillates as Fuel

    Refinery With DCU & OHCU

    Major FCC feedstock VGO + VR

    Major FCC feedstock OHCUB

    Residue Up-gradation Distillate Mode Operation

    Propylene Maximization

    POSITION OF FCC IN REFINERY


    FCC PROCESSING RESIDS ARE CALLED RFCCU
