FCC Revamps Constructability Issues

- Case studies of past FCC revamps will show several different techniques used to install equipment inside of the reactor and regenerator as well as techniques
used for difficult fit-ups of major components.
Blac Inc
FCCU Valve Actuator Information Systems
- Developments in
FCCU valve actuator systems that communicate operating information to the
DCS. This helps to extend equipment lifespan and provide useful information to
operators to avoid incorrect responses by refinery staff and operating anomalies.
Zero Injury Institute
Zero Injury Leadership Concepts
- Zero Injury Safety Leadership Concept has been embraced by thousands of employers, but many have not found success. Explore why employers are miss-applying Zero Concept and missing out on the
300 to 500% ROI with successful application of CII research.
Abstract
Bob Ludolph - Large Independent Refiner
Monitoring, Mitigating and Troubleshooting FCC Catalyst Losses
- FCC process, equipment data discussed to track unit losses,
check operating condition of key equipment, monitor physical integrity of catalyst.
Equipment/catalyst performance changes may limit unit operations-early detection leads to quicker resolution.
Abstract
Grace
Recycle and Catalytic Strategies for Maximum FCC Light Cycle Oil Operations
- Maximizing Light Cycle Oil by recycling Heavy Cycle Oil in FCCU is studied using a 2-pass lab scheme.
Vacuum Gas Oil and Resid, are compared. Proper recycle stream, conversion level, recycle ratio, can optimize FCCU with higher value diesel to gasoline.
Abstract
Amistco Separation Products, Inc. Worldwide
Design considerations for FCC Fractionators
Abstract
Aquilex
Advanced Technology Adds Safety to FCCU Upgrades - Overhaul, repair and upgrade work on complex components
like FCCU’s benefit from automation to provide risk reductions. Highlights from a recent project will show challenges,
outcomes and recommendations for best practices for safety, schedule, quality.
Abstract
Zimmermann & Jansen
FCCU Reactor Overhead Isolation Valves
- Save time and money while reducing risk during shutdown and startup.
INPROCAT Corporation
QUANTA™ Technology: A New Frontier in FCC
- New method for particle size distribution control of FCC catalyst. Has ability to: remove large particles to improve fluidization, circulation; to remove bad fines to comply with emission standards;
to prevent build-up on turbo expander blades.
Structural Preservation Systems
Concrete Fireproofing - Analysis, Evaluation & Repair Strategies
- Although many specialized systems exist and are readily available, cementitious concrete systems will be highlighted as they are the most prevalent structural steel member fireproofing used in protecting North America's
aging petrochemical infrastructure.
INTERCAT Inc
Pollution control in regenerators
- This paper introduces methods for optimizing and troubleshooting the FCC regenerator, with a particular focus on stack emissions.
The influence of additive technology to assist in the reduction of emissions is also discussed.
Abstract
RSI Simcon
80 Days to Operator Competency
- Operator competency, the existing gap between capabilities and demands, the consequences of that gap and methods for closing the gap.
VaporKote, Inc
Improvements using boron diffusion coatings
- For over 23 years, refineries have experience significant life improvement and reduced maintenance costs by using VaporKote’s boron diffusion
coating process on FCC components - slurry pumps, wear rings, valves, piping nozzles, and catalyst trays.
TAR Planning & Execution
-- An insider's look at successful shutdowns from an owner/operator viewpoint coming from 32 years of
experience on-site at Valero, ChevronTexaco and Amoco Oil.
Understanding and improving the energy efficiency of an FCC
-- Improving the energy efficiencies of FCC units by applying Process Modeling, Best Technology and Gap Analysis Methodology.

FCC Incidents Review
An interactive experience where the presenter
shares Stories/Case Histories of FCC Incidents. He then
engages the audience in possible outcomes, preventions and
solutions. Then summarizes audience recommendations and
finishes each incident with Lessons Learned. Find out why in spite of PHA and
HAZOP these common incidents continue to occur and what you can
do about them. Very informative and practical.

If you can prevent one incident, you've got your
money's worth from this presentation alone. This will be a highlight of the conference.
Listen to
owners comment.
Breakout Work Groups
We know that you like to hear how other refiners
are handling safety situations and solving operations challenges, so we offer these
Breakout Work Groups focused on:
-
Safety
-
Operations
-
Maintenance/Reliability
-
Process
...including valves, catalysts and other popular
topics.
There's always a large turnout of refiners. This is what sets CatCracking.com Conferences apart from others and makes it so worthwhile to you!
