Petroleum Refining
• Crude as obtained can not be used as fuel products as it is a complex mixture of various light and heavy hydrocarbons
• Refining involves separation of light fractions by distillation to produce distillate fuels.
• Heavier fractions are converted into useful fuel products by secondary processing such as FCC,Hydrocracking etc..
• Environmental and Engine requirements require further transformations to make improved quality fuel products (e.g Reforming, Hydrotreating etc.)
![Page 10: Fluid Catalytic Cracking A.Meenakshisundaram Chennai Petroleum Corporation Limited.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062323/5697bffc1a28abf838cc16ca/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Catalytic Processes in Refining• Processes for Secondary Conversion - converting heavier fractions
into lighter products - FCC, Hydrocracking etc..
• Processes for meeting fuel engine requirements - Catalytic Reforming, Alkylation, Catalytic Dewaxing etc..
• Processes for meeting Environmental requirements of fuels - HDS, Oxygenates Production, Benzene /Aromatics reduction etc.
• Processes for Production of Lubes - Catalytic Dewaxing, Catalytic Iso Dewaxing , Hydrocracking, Hydrofinishing etc..
• Apart from the above, catalytic processes are also used in refineries for Hydrogen Production, Petrochemical Feedstocks and Speciality Products etc..

Fluid Catalytic Cracking
• Refinery process that “cracks”high molecular weight
hydrocarbons to lower molecular weight.
•Refinery process that provides ~50 % of all transportation
fuels indirectly.
•Provides ~35 % of total gasoline pool directly from FCC
produced naphtha.
•~80 % of the sulfur in gasolines comes from the FCC
naphtha.

FCC ADDITIVES
• ZSM-5 Additive for boosting octane number and light olefins yields (C3/C4)
• Alumina micro Spheres with dispersed Pt for enhancing CO oxidation in Regenerator dense bed (CO Promoter)
• Bottoms Cracking Additive – Alumina Matrix with tailored pores and acidity for cracking heavier fractions of the feed.
• Gasoline sulfur reduction additive• SOx Reduction Additive for reducing SOx emissions• Metal Passivators – Sb/Bi liquid compounds for Ni
Passivation, Vanadium Trap for V passivation

ZSM-5 Additive• ZSM-5 Additive - Reactant shape selectivity is in play whereby
molecules are sterically discriminated based on their ability to enter the pores of the zeolite for cracking
• Intermediate pore size of ZSM-5 restrict the access of highly branched and cyclic hydrocarbons to the interior of the zeolite for cracking. Thus Higher Octane molecules are retained in the gasoline range
• Only lower octane normal and monomethyl aliphatics enter the pores and preferentially cracked to lighter products
• Increases the iso/normal paraffin and olefin ratio
• Results in higher RON , higher Propylene/Butylene yields, lower Gasoline yield
• About 2 to 5% dosage of additive is used with ZSM-5 crystal content of 25 – 40wt%
![Page 36: Fluid Catalytic Cracking A.Meenakshisundaram Chennai Petroleum Corporation Limited.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062323/5697bffc1a28abf838cc16ca/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Bottom Cracking Additive
• Bottom Cracking Additive (BCA) in general facilitates cracking of heavy ends of the feed into intermediate range molecules suitable for further cracking by the host catalyst.
• Use of BCA in some units is preferred to high activity matrix especially units with coke burning limitation

CO Promoter
• Promotes combustion of CO to CO2(200 ppm of CO in flue gas for a 50 000 bpd FCC unit or 1.5 – 2.0 tpd)
• Eliminates the need for CO boiler and improves the environment by reducing CO in flue gas.
• Lower Carbon on Regenerated Catalyst will increase activity and better coke-conversion selectivity.
• Pt at 1 PPM level in the unit will promote CO oxidation.
• Normally a separate additive containing 500 –1000 ppmw Pt on Gamma Alumina is used.
• Pt catalysed CO combustion occurs readily in the dense phase at temp. 650 – 700 C

De SOx Additive
• About 10% Sulfur in FCC feed gets deposited in the coke
• This sulfur in coke is oxidised to SO2(90%) and SO3(10%) in the FCC regenerator.
• Sulfur in Flue Gas Emissions are stringently restricted by emission norms
• DeSOx Additives help in reducing emissions of SOx • An effective Sox reduction catalyst must oxidize SO2 to
SO3 and form a sulfate. This sulfate has to be stable under regenerator conditions and be able to release the sulfur as sulfide in the reactor

SOx Reduction Catalysts
• MgO,Al2O3,MgAl2O4, La2O3 and CeO2 based catalysts are suitable for FCC unit DeSOx
• Ceria oxidises SO2 to SO3• SO3 is picked up as sulfate on MgO and Mg
spinels• Sulfur picked up in regenerator is stripped in
the reducing atmosphere of the reactor.

Feed Metal Deactivation
• Ni and V present in heavy ends of the feed end in the catalyst
• Both Ni and V function as dehydrogenation catalysts in FCC reactor
• Relative dehydrogenation activity is expressed in terms of 4Ni+V
• Vanadium reacts destructively with zeolitic component of FCC catalyst
• Ni alters the selectivity to coke and gas yields
![Page 59: Fluid Catalytic Cracking A.Meenakshisundaram Chennai Petroleum Corporation Limited.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062323/5697bffc1a28abf838cc16ca/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
FCC Passivation Additives
• Ni Passivation is effective with only Antimony,Bismuth and Cerium based compounds.
• Compounds with active ingredients in Organic or Aqueous solvent is generally used
• XRD results suggest that Sb forms Ni-Sb solid solutions with high level of Sb on the Ni surface thus causing the passivation effect.
• Sn reduces the deletirious effect of V by forming inert compounds on the FCC catalyst surface.Sn/V complex is formed

Fluid Catalytic Cracking Catalysts– Future Trends
• More Resid Cracking and Deep Catalytic Cracking application will require new zeolite materials with larger pores – metal tolerance required
• More FCC units will be designed for Petrochemical feedstocks – Additive usage will increase - More selective Additive for Propylene/Butylene will be required.
• Development of Newer Additives for meeting product quality will be required – Sulfur/Olefins
