Abstract
This article focuses on fluidized catalytic cracking (FCC). FCC technology is evolving to meet the challenges from new fuel specifications. It remains a most cost-effective method to upgrade heavy oil into lighter products. In the 1980s and 1990s, special FCC additives were used to control gaseous emissions from FCC units and sulfur levels in gasoline. Recent results prove that combining catalyst and process innovations can substantially reduce the sulfur content in gasoline and light cycle oil, making it easier to be processed by hydrotreating units.
