What does FCC stand for?

Since mid-2008, the fluid catalytic cracking unit (FCC) at the Paraguana Refining Center (CRP) of Cardon halted the production of gasoline to start expansion works.

The world's top oil exporter, which was expected to cut back gasoline imports significantly, is forced to keep buying spot barrels due to start-up problems at the new residual fluid catalytic cracking (RFCC) unit at Rabigh Refining and Petrochemical (PetroRabigh) sources familiar with the unit's operations said.

Byline: JAKARTA/SINGAPORE: Indonesia's Pertamina has shut a 12,000 barrels per day (bpd) gasoline-making fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) unit at its Musi refinery for 17 days of maintenance, a spokesman said.

In mid-1998 NIOC offered four projects for the refinery to be built and funded by foreign companies on buy-back basis, so that the plant's capacity is raised to 600,000 b/d: modernising the central fluid catalytic cracking unit (FCCU) built by Foster Wheeler in 1950 and raising its capacity from 40,000 to 60,000 b/d; building a 70,000 b/d vacuum distillation unit (VDU); building a 25,000 b/d visbreaker; and building four desalting units with a total capacity of 525,000 b/d.

The turnaround will close one of the two crude units and the gasoline-making fluid catalytic cracking unit as well as associated units like the alkylation unit.
