Genç, M.
Miray Genç is a Senior Process Specialist, responsible for troubleshooting, process, operations, catalyst, additive changes, revamp and design projects for the FCC, DC, VSB, Prime G+ and Merox units at Tupras’ refineries. Previously, she worked as a Process Superintendent and as a chemical engineer at the Turkish Council of Research and Development/Middle East Technical University (METU) collaboration. She earned a BS degree in chemical engineering, along with an MS degree in polymer science and technology, from METU.
Izmit FCCU revamp
Tüpraş utilizes proprietary fluid catalytic cracking units<sup>a</sup> (FCCUs) at its Izmit and Izmir refineries. The Izmit unit was designed in 1968 and started up in 1972 with a side-by-side style reactor/regenerator.
FCC and HDS feed flexibility and integration with the delayed coker in the Izmit refinery
Operational flexibility is one of the key parameters that leads to success and sustainability in refinery production.
FCC metal trap additives to process more residue
Most refiners frequently need metal trapping or bottoms cracking additives for residue operations.
FCC operational changes to boost gasoline octane
The fluid catalytic cracking unit (FCCU) is one of the main units providing gasoline with high-octane numbers to the refinery gasoline pool.
Feed nozzle effects on yields and operation of FCCUs
The first-generation, proprietary feed distributorsa had open-pipe bayonets that were located at the base of the wye section/riser.
More residue processing in FCCUs
Resid units have more than 2 wt% Conradson carbon residue (Concarbon) in feed and more than 5,000 parts per million (ppm) of nickel (Ni) and vanadium (V) on equilibrium catalysts (Ecat).
Additive solutions to SOx emissions in FCCUs
Sulfur oxide additives are typically based on hydrotalcite or magnesium aluminate spinel-type structures. Magnesium alumina is the pickup agent present in the most effective SO<sub>x</sub> additives on the market; therefore, to optimize SO<sub>x</sub> reduction, it is critical to maximize the amount of the critical magnesium component in the fluid catalytic cracking unit (FCCU) in an efficient and cost-effective way.
