Why Choose this Training Course?

Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) is one of the most crucial conversion processes in a petroleum refinery and plays a vital role in an integrated refinery. The FCC process will be likely used for biofuels and possibly for reducing CO2 emissions.

The fluid catalytic cracking unit (FCCU) is a critical asset in refineries, requiring optimized processes in the context of engineering design to process a wide variety of feeds. The operation of the cat cracker must also be adjusted and maintained at optimum conditions for maximum profitability.

This PetroKnowledge training course will cover the FCC process. FCC unit converts feedstocks into valuable products, FCC feedstock quality and cracking, cracking technology and maximizing FFCU, and troubleshooting deals with identifying and solving problems.

This training course will highlight:

  • FCC process in petroleum refinery
  • Process control and feed characterization
  • Reactions chemistry and FCC performance
  • Cracking technology and maximize FFCU
  • Troubleshooting

What are the Goals?

At the end of this training course, you will learn to:

  • Understanding the FCC process and incorporate chemical engineering fundamentals in petroleum refinery.
  • Explain for process control operation and feed physical properties
  • Describe the chemistry of reactions and FCC performance to optimizing feed rate and product qualities
  • Understanding of cracking technology the latest development and maximize FFCU
  • Understanding of troubleshooting with effective and timely

Who is this Training Course for?
