Fluid Catalytic Cracking Flue Gas Slide Valve

Fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) is an essential process in refineries, used to convert heavy feedstock oil into valuable gasoline, jet fuel, and diesel, amongst other products. During the FCC reaction coke builds up on the catalyst, limiting the catalyst’s ability to carry out the reaction. The spent catalyst is then transferred to the regenerator to burn off the residual coke.
