Consumers` Co-operative Refineries Ltd. (CCRL) installed an elevated feed-injection system and a vortex-separation-based riser termination device on the fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) unit at its Regina, Sask., refinery. The modifications have increased yield of high-value liquid products in the gasoline-go-distillate range and decreased production of low-value products such as dry gas, LPG, fractionator bottoms, and coke. These yield benefits have exceeded projections and increased refinery profitability by an estimated US$920,000/year. The first article in this two-part series described the project objectives and the technologies incorporated. This one provides details of the project execution schedule and the economic and operational benefits realized as a result of the revamp.
