FCC units have been the main contributor to the gasoline pool (55-35%), so any change around these units will have a great effect on the production of this fuel (mainly) and the refineries schemes. Figure 1 shows the world FCCU capacity trend, Rhodes. Among the liquid products of FCCU, gasoline and diesel need to meet with more stringent regulations. That means to change typical FCC configurations (i.e. incorporation of hydrotreaters, revamps to reaction-regeneration section (RRS), main fractionator and vapor recovery unit (VRU)), with the change of catalysts and the capability of using additives, Garcia. Spite of processing heavier feedstocks, the products need to be cleaner, so existing units require to be revamped and the new ones should include the state of the art of the technology related with fuel reformulation and the poor feedstocks processing. 4 refs., 10 figs., 1 tab.
