Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) is a critical refining process used to convert heavy, high-boiling petroleum fractions into lighter, more valuable products such as gasoline, diesel, and olefins. The process involves breaking down large hydrocarbon molecules in the presence of a catalyst at high temperatures. The catalyst, typically a fine powder, is fluidized by the flow of hydrocarbons and steam, creating a fluid-like mixture that enhances the cracking reaction. Af

At the Gujarat Refinery, Vadodara, Residue Fluid Catalytic Cracking unit and CR Liquid Petroleum Gas Treater Units are being built to convert hydrocarbons into lighter products to maximise the production of valuable products from crude oil and to produce LPG, respectively. #GujaratRefinery #hydrocarbons #CrudeOil #refinery #liquidpetroleumgas #meghaengineering | Megha Engineering and Infrastructures Ltd
