While originally designed for cracking the overhead stream from vacuum distillation units, known as vacuum gas oil, most FCC units currently operate with some higher boiling vacuum distillation bottoms (resid) in the feed. Designing catalysts to tolerate the high level of metal contaminants in the resid, while still maintaining high conversion and selectivity, is a key issue of FCC catalyst design. While FCC feedstocks are becoming heavier and more metal contaminated, new demands are also being placed on the products produced. Demand for propylene is increasing more rapidly than steam cracking, the traditional source of propylene for chemical applications, can supply. Consequently, increasing quantities of propylene are being produced in the FCC process for use in chemicals and plastics. Highly propylene selective catalysts have been developed to meet this challenge. These catalysts, referred to as 'FCC olefin additives', are generally used in admixture with more traditional FCC catalysts. More stringent clean air requirements are also being imposed upon the FCC process. NOx emissions, produced by combustion of the coke during FCC catalyst regeneration, are being more strictly limited. FCC NOx reduction additives have been developed to minimize or reduce the amount of this pollutant produced by the FCC process. The impact of more stringent clean air requirements continues beyond the refinery gates, as lower gasoline sulfur levels are being mandated to reduce automobile emissions. Gasoline produced by the FCC process is the primary source of sulfur in the refinery gasoline pool. Fortunately, FCC catalyst technology is again providing an answer in the form of low sulfur gasoline FCC catalysts and catalyst additives.
