FCC and RFCC Units Catalysts
Application:
* Converting heavy and low-value oil fractions into valuable and light products
* Molecular breakdown reactions at low pressure
* Obtaining higher quality products
Product Introduction:
Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) is the most basic cracking unit in large refineries for gasoline production. This process has undergone many changes. An important milestone in the history of this process was residue fluid catalytic cracking (RFCC). Today, about 20% of the feed of FCC units is atmospheric and vacuum distillation tower residues. Catalysts used in the FCC process are used to break or crack heavy hydrocarbon fractions into light products in the gasoline and diesel range. The important point is that FCC/RFCC catalysts account for the largest consumption of catalysts used in the related oil and gas industry, which is more than 13,000 tons per year. Commercial cracking catalysts include acid-treated natural aluminosilicates along with synthetic aluminosilicate catalysts called zeolites (NaY, USY, REY zeolites) as well as HZSM-5 zeolite, which are formulated with other components such as a natural matrix or binder (bentonite or kaolinite), strengthening agent (alumina), filler etc.
