This article represents a solution to Marathon Oil Company's problem of keeping costs of expansion processes low when making a number of equipment modifications. The installation of a stainless clad steel plate lowered the cost of a new fluid catalytic cracking unit (FCC) for high sulfur crude oil, providing a solution to the modification of Marathon's LA refinery. The stainless clad steel plate was a cost effective material for fabricating vessels for the new FCC unit, and provided the corrosion resistance needed to process sour crudes with a high sulfur content. The rated capacity of the Garyville refinery was increased from 200,000 to 250,000 barrels per day when the expansion and modernization program was completed in mid-1979. The capacity for unleaded fuel was increased from 45,000 to 130,000 bpd.
