FCC slurries
In modern refineries, fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) is a process by which refineries convert residual oils from the atmospheric and vacuum distillation columns into more valuable gasolines and middle distillates. Here, long-chain hydrocarbons are cracked using pulverized catalysts such as aluminum and silicates.
Benefits of our centrifuges:
- Enhanced separation efficiency: Centrifugal separators effectively separate solid particles from the slurry, ensuring a higher purity of the recovered fluid.
- Increased throughput: High-speed centrifugal technology allows for the processing of larger volumes of slurry in a shorter time.
- Reduced downtime: Continuous operation with minimal maintenance requirements leads to increased operational uptime.
- Cost savings: Improved recovery of valuable hydrocarbons and reduced disposal costs of solid waste.
- Environmental compliance: Efficient separation reduces the environmental impact by lowering the amount of waste that requires disposal.
- Optimized performance: Consistent and reliable separation performance enhances the overall efficiency of the refining process.
The composition and challenges of FCC slurries
Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) slurries are by-products generated during the FCC process in petroleum refineries, a crucial operation for converting heavy hydrocarbons into more valuable lighter fractions, such as gasoline and fuel oil. FCC slurries typically contain a mixture of hydrocarbons, catalyst fines, and other solid impurities. Handling these slurries poses several challenges due to their complex composition and the need for efficient separation of solids from the liquid phase. Despite these challenges, FCC slurries can be further processed or utilized in various industrial applications and their management is essential for both economic efficiency and environmental compliance.

Boosting treatment efficiency through centrifugal technology
Efficient separation of FCC slurries using centrifugal technology
Our centrifugal separators utilize the principle of centrifugal force to enhance the separation of solids from liquids. When FCC slurry enters the centrifuge, the high-speed rotation creates a strong force that pushes the heavier solid particles to the outer edge (periphery) of the separator, while the clarified liquid is collected from the center. This centrifugal action achieves superior separation precision, ensuring that even the finest catalyst particles are effectively removed from the slurry. High-speed disk separators from GEA demonstrate a separation efficiency of 90% for particles smaller than 5 microns.
Unlike traditional separation methods, centrifugal separators can operate continuously, thus enhancing overall processing efficiency. These separators are also highly adaptable, capable of handling varying slurry compositions and viscosities, making them suitable for a wide range of applications within the refining process. Designed for robustness, centrifugal separators require minimal maintenance and are built to withstand harsh operational conditions, reducing downtime and maintenance costs. By efficiently separating and recovering valuable hydrocarbons, centrifugal separators help minimize waste and reduce the environmental footprint of the refining process.
