Abstract

The fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) process has been in commercial operations for nearly 80 years. It is the most flexible process in the petroleum refinery. It can process all types of feedstock. Its cracking severity can be adjusted greatly. Since the start-up of the first commercial FCC unit in 1942, many improvements have been made to enhance the unit’s mechanical reliability and its ability to crack heavier, lower-value feedstocks. The FCC has a remarkable history of adapting to continual changes in market demands.
