CONVERSION UNITS

Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC)

Catalytic conversion of vacuum gas oil and compatible heavy feeds into gasoline, LPG, light cycle oil and gas.

Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC)

PROCESS & OPERATING PHILOSOPHY

Feed injection, riser cracking, catalyst separation, regeneration, main fractionation and gas concentration. The operating sequence, recycle paths, start-up/shutdown cases and normal/turndown behavior are defined before equipment finalization.

MAIN EQUIPMENT & PACKAGE LIMITS

Riser/reactor, regenerator, cyclones, main fractionator, wet-gas compressor, absorbers and debutanizer. Materials, design margins, maintainability, isolation, access, lifting and spare philosophy are coordinated with the approved operating cases.

CRITICAL DESIGN INPUTS

Feed assay/composition, design capacity, operating pressure and temperature, product specifications, turndown, utilities, battery limits and site ambient conditions.

ENGINEERING DELIVERABLES

Licensor integration, yield balance, catalyst/coke balance, equipment interfaces, PFD/P&ID and safeguards. The package also includes line/equipment lists, relief and utility summaries, layouts or 3D interfaces, vendor-document requirements, inspection plans and commissioning inputs as applicable.

AUTOMATION, SAFETY & HSE

DCS regulatory control, critical interlocks, relief and depressuring, gas/fire detection, hazardous-area classification, HAZOP actions and applicable SIS/ESD functions.

APPLICATIONS & PERFORMANCE BASIS

High-conversion refineries targeting gasoline, LPG/propylene and distillate blendstocks. Capacity, product quality, consumption and emissions commitments are confirmed only after the representative feed and project Design Basis are approved.

CODES, STANDARDS & QUALITY BASIS

Licensor standards, API, ASME, refractory, emissions and high-temperature design requirements. The contractual code basis is selected by destination and client specification. ASME/API/TEMA, EN/DIN and GOST/EAC requirements are not mixed without an approved code-equivalency and authority review.

CONTRACTUAL CODE BASIS

Licensor standards, API, ASME, refractory, emissions and high-temperature design requirements.
