Stephen Forry - CECO Emtrol-Buell
This presentation will explore the potential cause(s) of elevated catalyst losses from the FCC reactor and regenerator. The presentation will include cyclone design best-practices, how to interpret catalyst loss data (i.e. step-change vs. gradual increase, etc.), available troubleshooting tools, and a review of potential sources of catalyst losses. The goal is to provide FCC operators with additional information and tools to evaluate FCC operation and to determine whether their cyclones need to be repaired or replaced.
