The FCC has been the centroid of the US refining gasoline production
business for the last 60 yrs.
New regulatory and emissions targets such as 2017 Tier 3 sulfur
targets and the proposed FCC Flue gas emissions values are the
latest challenges for the refiner.
If post treating of FCC cat gasoline is required the loss of octane will put a constraint
on meeting the regulatory requirements.
The value of the FCC is to maximize the yield of “profitable”
components of C3 through LCO.
This presentation will cover a range of options for the FCC plant to
consider in in maximizing the profit of the plant with every effort to
maximize the volume of most profitable products.
