Fluid Catalytic Cracking

Basics

• Often Abbreviated as FCC
• The Cracking (Chemistry Context) (See if there is a page on this on wiki) via catalysts in a Fluidized Bed Reactor

Internal Links

• Hydrocracking (Chemically very different, seems roughly similar hardware wise, minus the addition of hydrogen gas) (also regeneration may be less needed?)
