Refinery D FCCU Operation
• Design: UOP single stage regen., no cat cooler, full burn
• Feedstock - very heavy resid *: Specific gravity: 0.94 - 0.96
Conradson carbon: 4 - 7 wt%
• E-cat properties : MA: 52 - 62 wt%
V: 6,000 - 8,000 ppm

•Click to edit text styles
Ni: 1,800 - 2,400 ppm
• Operation mode: maximum distillate (ROT: 509°C)
• Primary objective: maximize LCO to slurry ratio
• Main constraint: regenerator temperature
• Incumbent catalyst: moderate activity NEKTOR ULCC
