The Octane Boost: How FCC Chemistry and Ingenuity Come Together

FCC


The FCC is a flexible machine which is adapting to fulfill the premium gasoline incentive across the USA. This session will discuss how Marathon is enhancing their FCC operations through operational adjustments and advances in catalysis to achieve optimal downstream Alkylation performance. It will also provide an overview of how maximizing alkylate feed, reducing LPG saturates, and optimizing the C4=/C3= ratio from FCC boost the alkylate octane contribution to the refinery gasoline pool.
