The one-team integrated approach to FCCPT/FCC complex performance gains

Processing advantaged FCC feedstock can be economically attractive, but its quality can challenge unit operations. Closely tied with the upstream FCC pretreat unit, optimising FCC operation, margin, and reliability requires an integrated approach. Shell Catalysts & Technologies provides global refiners with differentiated technology enablers, from the newly launched CENTERA GT catalyst portfolio to the industry recognised FCC feed nozzles.

This session will discuss the ‘one-team’ holistic approach to optimising the FCCPT/FCC complex from the point of view of licensors and operators.
