Abstract
Innovations on the process and the catalyst side have enabled a continuous adaptation of the fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) process to the needs of refining over the more than 80 years of its existence. This evolution continues today with new catalyst and process developments, which open up new possibilities for the FCC process including the following applications.u•Production of petrochemicals feedstocks (C2, C3 and C4 Olefins).•Processing of very heavy Resid, competing with the state-of-the-art thermal conversion processese coking and thermal cracking.•Production of low aromatics gas oil for the diesel pool.•Conversion of biomass into renewable fuel and chemicals. Production of petrochemicals feedstocks (C2, C3 and C4 Olefins). Processing of very heavy Resid, competing with the state-of-the-art thermal conversion processes e coking and thermal cracking. Production of low aromatics gas oil for the diesel pool. Conversion of biomass into renewable fuel and chemicals. In this paper, these new fields and the related catalysts and process innovations that are emerging will be discussed.
