I.QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS


A.FLUID CATALYTIC CRACKING/a.PROCESS(Contd.)

Q2.For FCC units with a closed riser termination device(RTD)/cyclone systems,do you operate with the primary separator sealed or unsealed in the stripper bed? What differences in performance do you see between these modes?Which do you prefer?

The choice between sealed and unsealed operation is often dictated by the hardware design,sincesome units can only operate in one mode.For those that can operate either way,the choice is usually dictated by either dry gas make or catalyst losses.One unit starts up unsealed and switches to sealed mode when the unit operation stabilizes.
