  • FCC++®

FCC++®

​

FCC++® is a Fluid Catalytic Cracking Unit designed by AstraConcepts for maximum efficiency, recovery and productivity.  AstraConcepts utilizes state-of-art shell and tube heat exchangers designed to minimize fouling and enhanced energy recovery.  Remainder of heat is provided by the furnace, which is designed to minimize coking and maximize heat recovery through the convection section.  A CO/CO2 Boiler and Waste Heat Recovery Unit (WHRU) is used to generate steam for steam stripping, furnace steam and reactor atomization steam.  The tower is designed with conventional trays, allowing for increasing capacity through random and structured packing.  Special focus is provided to the wash section to de-superheat inlet gas, minimize entrainment and enhance recovery of Heavy Cycle Oil (HCO).  Tower temperature profile is maintained to maximize pump-around heat driving force and minimize localized corrosion.
