This paper reports on the need for specialty fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) additives which is likely to increase, given the refining environment and the arrival of reformulated gasoline prompted by the most recent national environmental laws. C.W. Kuehler of Chevron Research and Technology Co., U.S.A. covered the participants in the field and the state of FCC additive technology this past June at Akzo Chemie's catalysts symposium in Scheveningen, The Netherlands. Other authors of the paper presented were A.S. Krishna, C.R. Hsieh, A.R.English, and T.A. Pecoraro, all with Chevron. The FCC process has undergone numerous changes in its 50-year history, Kuehler pointed out. It shows the impressive continual growth of the process. One important aspect of additives is their ability to alter and control the nature of the FCC catalyst, thereby controlling the reactions carried out in the reactor and regenerator.
