Improving the fluid catalytic cracking unit in term of energy consumption, a simulation study

Fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) process is a unit that converts heavy distillates like gas oil or residues to gasoline and middle distillates using cracking catalyst. Increased global focus on reducing energy consumption and emissions are working together to make FCC unit power recovery more attracti...
