Proactively Managing FCC Reliability and Performance: Two Refinery Case Studies
1. Controlling Erosion in teh FCCU: Classification and Engineered Porperty Control of FCC Catalysts and Additives
Presenters: Tiffany Clark, Marathon Petroleum; CJ Farley TPM Solutions; Matt Berens, ECI
2. Chevron Pascagoula FCC Regenrator Optimization Modeling
Presenters: Peter Blaser, CPFD LLC; Robert Mongomery, Chevron USA
Two FCC case studies will be presented where fundamental modeling and the implementation of the model outputs were used to improve FCC reliability and performance. Marathon Galveston Bay utilized catalyst and additive classification and property control to reduce erosion and catalyst losses. Chevron Pascagoula applied computational particle fluid dynamics to propose and implement regenerator changes to improve catalyst retention and combustion kinetics. In this session, study details and the resulting FCC benefits are reviewed.

This presentation will show how Phillips 66 was able to define a strategy to benefit from the digitalization of their Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) information. After multiple attempts, it became evident that using a single tool or solution for the entire safety lifecycle was too challenging because of the established work processes and existing tools. Instead, we identified solutions that connected data between the tools and then leveraged the benefits of digital data to provide useful insights.
