The fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) technology is one of the pillars of the modern petroleum
industry which converts the crude oil fractions into many commodity fuels and platform …

In recent years, the oil market has witnessed high volatility due to unstable demand and
supply. Considering the price volatility and stricter environmental regulations, there is a …

During the last century, economic and population growth have stirred a significant increase
in oil demand, with a current consumption of 100 Mb/d and an additional demand growth of …

Catalytic cracking is one of the most important refining processes used in the petrochemical
industry, in which the highly active zeolite catalyst is the key to heavy oil catalytic cracking …

The increasing demand for base chemicals ie, ethylene and propylene, along with the
expected peak in gasoline and fuels demand, are stirring intense research into refineries to …

The catalytic cracking of high–density polyethylene pyrolysis waxes under fluidized catalytic
cracking conditions has been investigated with the aim of producing fuels at large–scale …

The effect of co-cracking of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or its pyrolysis wax together
with vacuum gasoil (VGO) has been studied. The aim is to determine the content, nature …

The alteration of catalytic activity and selectivity of the cracking catalyst by porphyrinic
metallic elements present in heavy crude oil fractions is a subject that requires serious …

This paper proposes a model of the cracking process considering the catalyst deactivation
by Ni, V and coke. The developed model is sensitive to the feedstock composition and …

Fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) is the core unit for heavy oil conversion in refineries. In the
FCC process, the metal contaminants from the feedstock are deposited on the catalysts …
