A. Shackleford
Alexis Shackleford is an Executive Account Manager for BASF in the Detroit, Michigan (U.S.) area, where she provides technical and commercial support for FCCUs. She joined BASF’s Refining catalyst division in 2009 and has held a variety of roles, including technology specialist, marketing specialist and technical service engineer. Shackleford has authored many articles in oil and gas publications. Prior to BASF, she worked at Shell Oil Co.’s Deer Park refinery. She earned a BS degree in chemical engineering from Michigan State University, with a minor in biomedical engineering.
Choosing an FCCU CO promoter is no longer driven by NOx emissions
Fluidized catalytic cracking units (FCCUs) form coke during the reaction that combusts in the regenerator and supplies heat for the process.
Driving FCCU value through fresh and flushing catalyst activity modeling
Refiners are continually challenged to maximize economic gain in the face of cost pressures and plant operating constraints. The fluidized catalytic cracking unit (FCCU) plays an integral role in the optimization of the facility. FCC catalyst is often one of the largest budget items in the refinery. Therefore, the balance between FCCU performance and catalyst costs has a significant impact on refinery profitability.
Iron poisoning investigations enable opportunities for success
The function of fluid catalytic cracking units (FCCUs) is to maximize profits from a given barrel of oil.
Improve refining of tight oil via enhanced fluid catalytic cracking catalysts
Crude oils from tight formations are relatively light, low in concarbon, and contain different contaminants. They have high naphtha and distillate yields, lower vacuum gasoil (VGO) content and almost ..
