To meet additional octane requirements prompted by lead-phasedown rules, Coastal Eagle Point Oil Co. chose an octane-enhancing catalyst for its Westville, N.J., refinery. But octane enhancement was not the only benefit needed from the catalyst. Coastal also had to increase the amount of resid charged to the fluid catalytic cracker (FCC) because of the nature of the crude oils processed in the refinery, and because of the operating nature of the crude and vacuum units. The combination of octane enhancement and increased resid-charging capability was necessary to achieve acceptable economics for the overall operation. The goal of improving gasoline octane while charging poor-quality feedstocks was achieved by switching to an ultrastable Y (USY) type catalyst, Filtrol ROC-1DY.
