Typical PFD of Residue Catalytic Cracking - EnggCyclopedia
The main purpose of the Residue Catalytic Cracking process is to convert various reduced crudes to lower boiling, high value products, primarily C3-C4 LPG, gasoline, and light cycle oil. Here is a typical process flow diagram (PFD) of Fluidized Catalytic Cracking (FCC) process.
Liquid hydrocarbon feed is steam atomized into droplets that enter the reactor and vaporize as they contact the hot circulating catalyst. In the presence of heat and catalyst, a portion of the feed cracks to form lighter boiling hydrocarbon products.
Fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) is the most important conversion process used in petroleum refineries. It is widely used to convert the high-boiling hydrocarbon fractions of petroleum crude oils into more valuable gasoline, olefinic gases and other products.
UOP licensed catalytic cracking processes include the fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) process, the Resid FCC (RFCC) process, MSCCSM process and the PetroFCCSM process. All of these processes convert gas oil and heavier streams to lighter, more valuable products via high-temperature catalytic cracking.
