Refiners' efforts to conform to increasingly stringent laws and a
preference for fuels derived from renewable sources have mandated
changes in fluid cracking catalyst technology. Advances in Fluid
Catalytic Cracking: Testing, Characterization, and Environmental
Regulations explores recent advances and innovations in this
important component of petroleum refining technology and evaluates
how the industry has been changed by environmental regulations
worldwide. Measurement, testing, and improvement Modern
spectroscopic techniques continue to be essential to the
understanding of catalyst performance and feedstock properties. The
book contains a detailed review of the use of adsorption
microcalorimetry to measure acidity, acid site density, and the
strength of the strongest acid sites in heterogenous catalysts. It
also discusses the use of 1H-NMR to characterize the properties of
a FCCU feedstock. In addition, the book dedicates several chapters
to pilot plant testing of catalysts and nontraditional feedstocks,
maximizing and improving LCO (heating oil) production and quality,
and improving FCCU operations. Complying with the EPA The EPA has
identified the petroleum refining industry as a targeted
enforcement area for the Clean Air Act (CAA) passed in 1970 and the
CAA Amendments of 1990. The final chapters of the book examine the
evolution of the EPA's attempts to encourage the refining industry
to enter into voluntary consent decrees to comply with the CAA and
the 1990 amendments. The book describes consent decree negotiations
as well as FCC emissions (SOx, NOx, CO, PM) reduction technologies
through consent decree implementations. Containing contributions
from a panel of worldwide experts, the book demonstrates how the
global shift toward environmentalism has engineered significant
changes in the petroleum refining industry at a critical level.
