A Small Refinery Doing Big Things: Monroe Energy's FCC Reactor Replacement Project, Fall 2023
Turnaround
Facilitators:
Andrew Jakubowski, Flint Hills Resources, LLC
Michael Menosky, Monroe Energy LLC
Speakers:
Kevin Harkness, Monroe Energy, LLC
Piotr Majcher, Monroe Energy, LLC
Drake Wilson, Monroe Energy, LLC
This session will highlight Monroe Energy, a small northeast refinery, and their journey toward replacing one of their oldest and most prolific processing assets: the Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) Reactor. The presenters will provide an overview of the project conception, engineering, fabrication, logistics, installation, and post start-up operation. A key focus will be the discussion of challenges and successes from the construction phase of the project, as well as lessons learned for future events.

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.
