The fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) ''complex,'' including alkylation and other downstream processes, must be operated as an integrated system in order to maximize profits. Many factors have changed refining economics, including the increased demand for higherquality unleaded gasoline. Therefore, an evaluation of the cumulative impact of the FCC operation on downstream processes must be considered to maximize the operating margin of the total complex. IONA's FCC simulation model evaluates the significant items that contribute to the impact of FCC operating condition changes. Economics and alkylation, the vapor recovery unit (VRU), polymerization, MTBE, and other processes are included in the evaluation.
