Feedstock capacity expansion projects and processing of resid feeds in Fluid Catalytic Cracking Units (FCCUs) continues to grow. The number of FCCU’s utilizing oxygen to achieve these objectives is more than 25 worldwide. Refiners have used pure oxygen to enrich the FCCU regenerator combustion air up to 28 % volume. This technology should lead to a capacity increase of over 25 % or a resid increase of 10 %. The modifications required to install the oxygen injection apparatus are minor and can be performed between unit turnarounds.

MEDAL™ membranes can be an economical alternative for sweetening large quantities of natural gas, i.e., removal of CO2. These systems can reach recovery levels of over 90 %. They can be used in onshore or offshore plants. Their benefits include plant modularity, low capital investment, ease of operation and reliability. They are an attractive alternative to amine systems.
