Question 93: Which key process indicators (KPIs) are tracked in a typical FCC unit health monitoring program, and what is the frequency these indicators are measured?
Question 93: Which key process indicators (KPIs) are tracked in a typical FCC unit health monitoring program, and what is the frequency these indicators are measured? [email protected] Tue, 03/12/2024 - 16:35 INKIM (PETROTRIN) There are several KPIs that are tracked in the monitoring of FCC. Liquidy yields is one parameter that is monitored daily to detect any
Question 94: What methods do you use to determine the condition or remaining life of and regenerator cyclones?
Question 94: What methods do you use to determine the condition or remaining life of and regenerator cyclones? [email protected] Thu, 03/14/2024 - 14:29 GIM (Technip Stone & Webster) Proper design of cyclones and cyclone support systems will extend the life of cyclones with proper maintenance. But like the tires on your car, it will need to be replaced towards
Question 95: What failure mechanisms have you observed in cyclone or cyclone support systems? What is the typical time to failure?
Question 95: What failure mechanisms have you observed in cyclone or cyclone support systems? What is the typical time to failure? [email protected] Thu, 03/14/2024 - 15:10 INKIM (PETROTRIN) In the history of our unit, there have been no outright failures of cyclones or cyclone supports, just partial failures. In our experience, the major cause of failure in c
Question 96: What are the typical causes of dipleg plugging/fouling? How can the plugging/fouling be avoided? What is the experience with clearing diplegs online?
Question 96: What are the typical causes of dipleg plugging/fouling? How can the plugging/fouling be avoided? What is the experience with clearing diplegs online? [email protected] Mon, 03/18/2024 - 22:57 KOEBEL (Grace Catalysts Technologies) ]I am going to take the question in a few parts. I will cover the reactor side first. In the reactor side, dipleg plugg
Question 97: What operational or design changes can be employed to address heat balance issues ā e.g., catalyst circulation limits, low regenerator temperatures āassociated with processing tight oil-derived feeds?
Question 97: What operational or design changes can be employed to address heat balance issues ā e.g., catalyst circulation limits, low regenerator temperatures āassociated with processing tight oil-derived feeds? [email protected] Tue, 03/19/2024 - 15:17 LARSON (KBC Advanced Technologies, Inc.) This answer will be very similar to what was already discussed ab
Question 98: What catalyst changes can be made to minimize the negative effects of low delta coke that result from processing increased amounts of tight oil-derived FCC feed?
Question 98: What catalyst changes can be made to minimize the negative effects of low delta coke that result from processing increased amounts of tight oil-derived FCC feed? [email protected] Wed, 03/20/2024 - 18:58 KOEBEL (Grace Catalysts Technologies) The schematic on the slide shows the representation of the coke yield and the coke balance from the FCC. Of
Question 99: Tight oil-derived FCC feeds are known to contain high levels of contaminant iron (Fe) and calcium (Ca). What catalyst design features are important for minimizing their effects? What level of these contaminants can be tolerated? What lab proc
Question 99: Tight oil-derived FCC feeds are known to contain high levels of contaminant iron (Fe) and calcium (Ca). What catalyst design features are important for minimizing their effects? What level of these contaminants can be tolerated? What lab procedures can accurately simulate Fe and Ca contamination? [email protected] Mon, 03/25/2024 - 23:07 KOEBEL (G
