Boosting Margins and Reliability with FCC-PT and FCC Unit Revamps

Discover how refiners are capturing measurable value through integrated FCC-PT/FCC upgrades, including processing tougher feeds and unlocking petrochemical yields.

Unlocking value in FCC operations

Margins remain volatile, fuel demand is shifting, and refiners are under pressure to do more with existing assets. Treating FCC-PT and FCC units as separate operations can leave value on the table.

By taking an integrated revamp approach, refiners can:

• Process more difficult, lower-cost feeds while maintaining reliability
• Increase petrochemical yields when gasoline margins soften
• Extend on-stream days by aligning turnaround cycles and reducing downtime

FCC revamp insights for refiners

Download the report to see how leading refiners are tackling today’s challenges with practical, low-capex upgrades:

• Proven revamp strategies, from CENTERA GT catalysts to Shell Catalysts & Technologies’ latest feed nozzle innovations
• Options for yield optimisation across gasoline, LPG, and propylene
• Cycle life alignment techniques to extend run length and cut turnaround costs
• Risk management practices, such as safeguarding and corrosion studies, to protect safety and reliability
• Real-world customer results, such as a European refiner expecting $5 million per year in added value by upgrading FCC feed nozzles and processing more residue

Position your FCC complex for what’s next

Every turnaround is an opportunity. Without an integrated FCC-PT/FCC revamp strategy, refiners risk:

• Higher costs from reliability issues
• Missed opportunities to shift yields toward higher-value products
• Lost margin from siloed decision-making
