The fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) process in petroleum refineries produces enormous
quantities of waste (spent) catalysts as solid waste. Due to stricter environmental …

An 8-lumps kinetic model based on the feedstock composition is presented. The model is
fitted according to a proposed methodology that allows to identify, by means of an analysis …

Despite the humongous volume of literature aiming to present the synthesis of innovative,
more selective, stable, and active solid catalysts, the catalysts that come to be used at the …

The fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) process continued to be the major source of olefins
production with minimum CO2 emissions and high energy efficiency. It produces …

Abstract Fluid Catalytic Cracking Unit (FCCU) is a critical processing technology in the oil
refining industry, playing a vital role in energy efficiency and environmental protection …

A black-box model based on a machine learning (ML) strategy is developed to predict the
behavior of fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) experimental facility data. The results are then …

This work presents a steady-state one-dimensional model of the FCC riser considering the
vaporisation of the gas oil feed and subsequent cracking reactions. The evaporation of …

Petrochemical feedstocks are experiencing a fast growth in demand, which will further
expand their market in the coming years. This is due to an increase in the demand for …

Generalized nets (GNs) are a suitable tool for the modeling of parallel processes. Through
them, it is possible to describe the functioning and results of the performance of complex real …

Fluid catalytic cracking could convert crude palm oil into valuable green fuels to substitute
fossil fuels. This study aimed to predict the phenomenon and green fuels yield in the …
