Abstract
The fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) process converts heavy oil into voluable fuel products and petrochemical feedstocks. Environmental regulations are a key driving force for reducing FCC process air-pollutant emissions and for changing the composition of fuel products. Environmental considerations are affecting the design and operation of the FCC and are providing opportunities for the development of in-process additives. The present article reviews developments in these environmental technologies.Keywords
