Description:
The fluid catalytic cracking process is a very complex and demanding one. This program, “Fluid Catalytic Cracking Process Technology,” has been developed by Refining Process Services to provide an in-depth yet practical review of current FCC technology. The speakers will cover topics ranging from the basic process principles through items of current interest such as diesel fuel maximization and methods of meeting fuel specifications. The interactions between process variables such as feedstock quality, reaction conditions, and environmental constraints will be discussed. A thorough understanding of these principles is required to optimize the performance of the fluid catalytic cracking unit. Program participants will have the opportunity to obtain a broad working knowledge of the fluid catalytic cracking process, to stay abreast of the constantly changing technology, and to interact with others currently working in this field. Participants are invited to submit questions for discussion during the program. |
