Title: A numerical investigation of gasoline production from multi-stage FCC systems

Conference ·
OSTI ID:755870

Staged, fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) processes are deemed to have the potential to enhance FCC performance in the areas of product selectivity, operating flexibility, throughput, reliability, operating costs, and emissions. Computational fluid dynamic (CFD) codes are used to analyze various staged FCC concepts to help accelerate their development into commercial products. Three conceptual multi-stage FCC systems were evaluated using a validated CFD code. The results indicated potential increases of gasoline production from these conceptual designs.
