FCC Profitability: Maximizing Butylene Yields Through Catalyst Design and Evaluating Complex Operational Changes via Modeling and Testing
FCC
Facilitator:
Stephen Jewell, KBR
Speakers:
Samantha Boyle, Marathon Petroleum Corporation
Nik Larsen, Marathon Petroleum Corporation
Patrick McSorley, Ketjen Corporation
Grant Severyn, BASF Corporation
1. Maximizing Butylene Yields Through Catalyst Design
2. Evaluating Complex Operational Changes via Modeling and Testing
In this presentation, we will detail the close collaboration between Marathon Petroleum Corporation (MPC) and BASF to introduce a new catalyst technology to meet the market demand for butylenes yield and selectivity and high-octane gasoline, from development, evaluation, commercialization, to deployment of the new technology. These commercial trial results are the next step forward for LPG olefins maximization and selectivity, demonstrating significant economic value across a wide range of unit configurations and constraints for a refiner continually striving to be at the forefront of FCC catalyst technology.

FCC 101: Case Studies — Cold Weather and Where did the Level Go?
FCC
Facilitator:
Tiffany Clark, Marathon Petroleum Corporation
Speakers:
Derek Froehle, Honeywell UOP
David Hunt, W. R. Grace & Co.
This session will review FCC process safety and catalyst level monitoring fundamentals through case study discussions. The first will describe how adverse weather conditions can result in abnormal FCC operation, potential safety incidents, and how utilizing available resources is key in incident prevention. The second will cover fluidization fundamentals including how to calculate the physical bed level and conclude with a troubleshooting case study with inconsistent reactor levels and disappearing regenerator level.

Renewables Q&A — Pt. 2
Sustainability
Facilitator:
Eric Legare, Chevron U.S.A. Inc.
Panelists:
William Bandy, Marathon Petroleum Corporation
Delbert Grotewold, Veolia Water Technologies & Solutions
Nathan Jannasch, Chevron U.S.A, Inc.
Matthew Kawabe, Topsoe, Inc.

Many new facilities were commissioned recently to produce renewable diesel and SAF from renewable feedstocks to reduce the carbon intensity of transportation fuels while taking advantage of state and federal credits. Operating experience in this technology has been gathered by operators and their suppliers. This session will capture some of that expertise and share it with the audience in a traditional Q&A format. An experienced panel of Renewables experts from Operating and Technology companies will answer member supplied questions on operations, technology, reliability and lessons learned. Those in attendance are sure to gain valuable knowledge on this important topic.
