A step change in feed nozzle design

Advances in feed nozzle design lead to a low-cost FCC unit margin improvement opportunity

Are you seeking low-cost opportunities to enable your fluidised catalytic cracking (FCC) unit to improve margins through feed flexibility, higher conversion or more throughput?

Shell Catalysts & Technologies’ research and development efforts in FCC feed nozzle technology have resulted in design changes that have created a step change in FCC feed nozzle performance through better and more complete atomisation of the liquid feed. The result is greater flexibility to go after higher conversion, more throughput, the introduction of opportunity feeds or a combination of these benefits.

This webinar presents a range of benefits from Shell’s feed nozzle design that have been demonstrated at several different sites. The benefits include:

• less coke from the feed, resulting in an increase in regenerator capacity;
• an increase in gasoline plus LPG yield;
• a reduction in dry gas; 
• the ability to process heavier feeds; and
• the flexibility to increase feed rate.
