Riser
019-P-02A/B & 102C
019-P-25A/B
1. The raw oil charge system provides feed to the unit, removes heat from the fractionation section,
and heats the charge feed to the desired reactor riser inlet temperature. Raw oil from storage is
pumped to the raw oil charge drum (019-V-4). Feed to surge drum 019-V-4 can also be received directly
from the vacuum distillation unit and hydrocracker unit (UCO) at a temperature of 100°C to 165°C.
2. Fresh Feed is pumped on flow control from the feed surge drum through pump 019-P-2A/B & 102C to
the series of exchangers to recover heat from the hot process streams. The Fresh feed flows in parallel
in exchangers namely (019-E-2 & 019-E-17 LCO CR) and (019-E-15, HNCR). This preheated feed is then
passed through exchanger 19-E-21 where it is heated against Main Column Bottoms & finally enters the
exchanger 019-E-3A/B/C/D/E/F
3. Exchanger 19-E-3A/B & C/D & E/Fare a set of four exchanger shells which are arranged in stacks of
two 12

shells each. The two stacks are parallel to each other. After feed preheating, the pressure of the
preheated feed is boosted through Raw Oil Booster pump (019-P-25A/B) up to 16 kg/cm²g.
4. The final raw oil temperature up to 330°C is controlled by passing feed to the charge heater (019-
F1) controlling the firing in the charge heater. The charge heater has two passes and is designed for
dual fuel firing.
The feed preheat temperature is an important process variable. Lower feed preheat temperature
increases cat/oil and conversion, but more coke make to heat balance the unit. If the preheat
temperature is too low (<250
0
C), increasing feed viscosity can result in poor feed distributor
atomization, with a resulting loss in unit selectivity.
Reactor-Regenerator Section :
13
Reactor Section :
1. At riser bottom feed comes in contact with hot stream of regenerated catalyst and cracking starts
occurring. Flow of hot catalyst is regulated by slide valve in order to control reactor temperature.
2. Naphtha, HCO/LCO & SLURRY recycles are injected into riser through of spray nozzles at different
elevations.
3. The cracking reactions are endothermic. Coke generated in the cracking reactions gets deposited on
the surface of the catalyst particles and thus the catalyst activity gets reduced.
4. The catalyst gets separated from cracked HC vapor and steam at 2 sets of Direct Coupled Cyclones
(primary & secondary). DCC provides quick separation of the cat & vapor reducing vapor residence
time in the reactor vessel. Hence non selective post riser cracking gets minimized.
5. Spent catalyst is further stripped off residual hydrocarbons at Modular Grid (MG™) spent catalyst
stripper where MP steam is used for stripping. A small amount of sweep steam (Dome steam) is
injected into the reactor vessel dome to keep the area purged of hydrocarbons. These vapors enter
the Primary Cyclone via the proprietary vent opening (orifice).
Regenerator :
1. The spent catalyst from Reactor stripper goes to regenerator under level control. In regenerator air is
being supplied from MAB to burn of the deposited coke and thus the catalyst gets regenerated.
Regeneration.
2. MAB is an axial compressor which uses rotating and stationary blades in series to develop pressure.
The rotating blades add velocity to the gas. Stator vanes convert this velocity back to pressure. The
air flow rate is controlled either by varying compressor shaft speed in a steam turbine or by adjusting
14
the stator vane position in fixed speed applications. During low air flow condition, a protective anti-
surge controller activates the blow off valve in the discharge line of the compressor.
3. Oxidation of coke is highly exothermic reaction and supplies the necessary heat to Reactor for
reaction in such a way that the unit remains in heat balance always. For better catalyst regeneration,
Regenerator operates in full burn mode with excess O2 in flue gas.
4. Flue gas leaving the dense bed of catalyst passes through three sets of two-stage cyclone separators
supported from the plenum chamber on top of regenerator. From the top of the vessel the flue gas
passes through the orifice chamber via Third Stage Separator (TSS) to the CO Boiler. The cyclones
return the entrained catalyst from the flue gas to the dense bed. Back pressure in the regenerator is
maintained by the orifice chamber and double disc slide valve (DDSV).
5. TSS has a central inlet for the flue gas, which is distributed evenly over 32 numbers of parallel axial
flow cyclones, called swirl tubes. During separation process, separated dust (catalyst fines) drops into
the bottom conical part of the TSS and is removed with the assistance of some gas underflow. The
underflow gas and the dust are separated in the fourth Stage Separator (FSS). The catalyst fines
collected by the FSS is discharged into a Fines Disposal Hopper (FDH) via Fines Collection Hopper
(FCH) for further cooling. Finally collected catalyst fines are unloaded towards truck/ container for
disposal.
6. Flue gas passes through the CO-boiler where sensible heat is used for steam production.
7. Direct Fired Air Heater (DFAH) installed at Rg bottom is used during the normal start-up to heat the
regenerator catalyst inventory. The DFAH outlet temperature is controlled by the fuel gas / NG rate.
8. During MAB tripping, there is a chance of backflow of catalyst from Regenerator. Catalyst backflow is
prevented by 2 nos. quick closing check valves installed in the discharge line of MAB. Provision for dry
15
air injection is also provided at discharge line.
3. There are 4 slide valves in the catalyst section of the unit. Two of which serve to regulate the flow of
catalyst from (a) reactor to regenerator (SCSV), (b) regenerator to riser (RCSV). The other two slide
valves are in the regenerator flue gas service. Double Disc Slide Valve (DDSV) is in the regenerator flue
gas line which regulates the flow of flue gases into the orifice chamber to control the differential
pressure between reactor and regenerator which indirectly controls the regenerator pressure. The
two port slide valve (TPSV) below orifice chamber enables the flue gases to be diverted to CO Boiler
or bypassed directly to the stack.
Fractionator :
16
1. The super heated vapors from reactor enters 19C-1 below the bottom most tray and is cooled down
to 360
0
C for Fractionation. Main column bottom (MCB) is circulated back to column through two
sets of exchangers 19E-3 A/B/C/D/E/F & 19E-4/E-21) to de-superheat the vapors coming from
reactor.
2. A stream of MCB is filtered in bucket type filter and one part is circulated back to riser at slurry
recycle nozzle. The other stream is routed to off-sites tanks as CLO after heat exchange with BFW
(19E-5) & cooling water (19E-6).
3. The de-superheated vapor rises up in the fractionation column. The first fraction accumulates in draw
off tray is HCO. The heavy cycle oil circulating reflux transfers its heat to 20C-4 / C-205 bottom
reboiler & to steam generator drum 19E-7. A part of the HCO is recycled back to riser at HCO nozzle.
4. LCO drawn from the accumulator below 19th tray is send back to column as a circulating reflux after
supplying heat to 20C-205 reboiler 20E-221, 19E-17/E-2 (feed preheating) & 20E-7 (Gascon stripper
reboiler). A slip stream of LCO is used as absorbent in 20C-2 also return back to 19C-1 with other LCO
reflux streams. LCO CR is further cooled by 2 nos. air coolers (19EM-125A/B).
5 Heavy naphtha cut is drawn from accumulator below 2nd packing and returns back to column as a
circulating reflux for the heat balance after exchanging heat in 18E-21 with hot water and in 19E-15
with raw oil. Return stream after passing 18E-21 & 19E-15 further can be cooled in air coolers (19E-
16 & 19E-122) on requirement.
6 A part of LCO & HEAVY NAPHTHA draws are stripped in 19C-2 & 19C-3 respectively and routed to
product tanks after exchanging heat in PRU and cooling as diesel component. A part of LCO is routed
back to unit as Flushing oil (FLO).
7 Overhead vapors from the top of column passes through 16 nos. of air coolers and finally cooled
down in 3 nos. of trim coolers 19E-13 A/B/C

2. Uncondensed vapor from 19V-5 sucked and compressed by Wet Gas Compressor (WGC), cooled and
liquid is collected in HP Receiver20V-203.
3. WGC is a two-stage wet gas compressor system driven by HP Steam turbine. A spillback from each
stage of the compressor is provided to prevent the compressor from surging during start-up and unit
upsets. The compressor speed is varied to control the FCC main column overhead receiver pressure.
The hot gases discharged from the first stage of the compressor is mixed with wash water and cooled
in inter stage air cooler 020-EM-218 followed by a trim cooler 020-E-201A/B. The partially condensed
stream is separated into net gas, hydrocarbon condensate and sour water in WGC inter stage
knockout drum 020-V-201. The sour water is pumped to the upstream of 020-E-202.
4. The uncondensed vapours from the WGC inter stage knockout drum is compressed by the second
stage of the compressor and the compressed gas stream is recombined with wash water, inter stage
drum hydrocarbon condensate, primary absorber bottom liquid and stripper overhead gases before
being partially condensed in 020-E-202 (HP Receiver Air Cooler) & 020-E-203 A/B (HP Trim Cooler).
The cooled stream is routed to the HP separator 020-V-203. The uncondensed vapour, high pressure
distillate and sour water are separated out in this drum.
5. The uncondensed vapours from HP receiver are routed to the primary absorber 020-C-01 for C3 - C4
recovery. Some of the debutanizer bottom is recycled to the primary absorber to increase the C3 and
C4 recovery. Gases and H2S then passes through Sponge absorber for the recovery of Gasoline and
finally routed to refinery fuel gas system after H2S absorption in 20C-6
6. Liquid from 20V-203 is fed to stripper 20C-3 where it is heated in 20E-220 (Steam) & 20E-7 (LCO) to
strip out hydrogen sulfide, Methane and Ethane etc., before sending to debutanizers 20C-4/C-205 for
stabilization.
19
2. Stripped gases from 20C-3 top combines with WGC discharges, 20C-1 bottom liquid & 20V-201
bottom stream cooled down to recover LPG.
3. 20C-3 bottom material is fed to 20-C-4 & 20C-205 where it is separated into LPG & Gasoline.
4. LPG is routed to LPG Treater Unit (LPGTU) for H2S and mercaptan removal. MDEA is used in 24N-C201
for removal of H2S. Light mercaptan is removed by two stage caustic wash. Residual caustic is treated
by water wash & finally LPG is sent to storage or propylene recovery unit after passing through sand
filter. LPG is also treated with MEA solution for COS removal.
5. Gasoline ex 20C-4/C-205 is routed to SHU of Prime-G unit. After selective hydrogenation, gasoline
stream is separated into LCN, Heart cut & HCN streams in gasoline splitter column 20C-107.
6. Gasoline splitter is reboiled with MP steam in Reboiler (020-E-22). The splitter overhead is partially
condensed & flows to the gasoline Splitter Receiver (020-V-120 M) where the vapor phase and liquid
phase are separated. The vapor phase (excess hydrogen and light ends) is routed to the light ends
booster compression section (in Prime-G) for light ends recovery. The liquid phase from 020-V-120 M
is pumped to column top by reflux pumps (020-P-16 A/B). The LCN stream is withdrawn from tray 5
and then pumped by LCN Product Pumps (020-P-19 A/B). The heart cut (C6 cut) as side-draw (tray
25), is sent to Heart Cut Side Stripper (020-C-08). Heart cut is routed to MSQU by 020-P-15 A/B.
Heart cut stripper is reboiled with LP steam in the Stripper Reboiler (020-E-23). HCN stream is
pumped by HDS Feed Pumps (020-P-18 A/B N) and sent to the HDS section. HCN after desulfurization
is routed to storage along with LCN.
7. 20V3 has been taken in line after revival for SR LPG water washing. The SR LPG from Merox unit 24
after caustic wash in being received in 20v3 for water washing and after that again goes to Merox
unit.

52
9.3 MAIN AIR BLOWER (MAB) FAILURE
Actions at DCS Panel : Board operator has to ensure that following actions have been taken place by
PLC and if any action has not taken place he has to take action from DCS PANEL.
1. Bypass the feed (rotate feed bypass selector switch to bypass position)
2. Release shut down push buttons (HS-0502A&B)
3. Depressurize 19C-1 using hardware switch (to open 19PIC-202).

15. Change 19PIC-0202 hardwire switch to normal, open FG make up and regulate 19-C-1 top
press by operating 19-PIC-202 on DCS.
NOTE: Actions mentioned above at serial nos. 1 to 12 (except step no. 7) are taken by PLC when feed
bypass security interlock I-01 and I-101 is in line. These actions are to be taken by board operator and to
be ensured by check on DCS to strengthen the safety.
53
9.4 WET GAS COMPRESSOR (WGC) FAILURE
Rx. pressure will increase, RCSV delta-p will come down. To maintain RCSV delta-p, 19PIC0202 will open
up to 30% by PLC action & become manual. After that control Rx pr. by operating 19PIC-0202 from DCS.
If 19PIC0202 does not open then open 19PIC-0202 hardware switch for quick release of Rx pressure.
Once Rx pressure is normal, keep PIC-0202 in DCS & operate from DCS.
GCU: At present condition, even after WGC trip 20C-3 pressure remains on higher side for almost 2
hours. Hence 20C320C-4/205 flow will continue. Reduce C-4/C-205 pressure if required (LPG offspec).
COMPRESSOR OPERATOR:
- Close start up device & lower start up lever
- Start HP steam venting
- Close gland steam C/V B/P B/V
- Engage barring at 0 RPM
- Check barring start permissive & start barring. Ensure shaft rotation
- Take DMW make up & ensure surface condenser level & main CEP running. Strictly maintain level to
avoid standby CEP.
-Stop 20P-203 & 20P-2, 20P-211

Check 20PIC-63 C/V closed
Close gasoline to Prime-G B/V at 20E-9, line up towards Merox.
Incase WGC is out for long time (>2 hrs.), divert 19FIC0213 outlet to gas-con bypass B/V to divert
gasoline to Merox. Open 2
nd
b/v in this line near 20P-06a. open SDV at Merox junction.
54
Note : Incase of WGC suction flow faulty indication (20FT6601B, 6603B), anti-surge deviation value will
fluctuate which will open/close anti-surge valves rapidly. This will fluctuate 19V-105 & Rx pressure and
may disturb R-R pressure balance. In such cases, open spillback lock HIC6601 / 6603 gradually to reduce
fluctuation & continue running WGC with spillback wide open and flaring through 19PIV-0202. During
this period, if WGC trips due to surge count, then follow procedures mentioned in 9.4 section.
9.5 STEAM FAILURE
On HP steam failure first trip WGC when Pr. < 48 Kg/cm2. If pressure does not revive, trip MAB & go for
emergency shutdown (9.3 MAB FAILURE). No/Little steam will be available for catalyst fluidization in
riser. In such case unit have
To be brought down as quickly as possible. Take following actions.
1. Close both the regenerated cat & spent cat slide valves to prevent reversal.
2. If CO-BOILER remains unaffected, try to run the unit.
3. Check the blower discharge NRV is closed. Charge service air to MAB discharge line to check
catalyst back up.
4. Cut off feed and recycles to reactor riser.
5. Maintain 19C-1 bottom circulation.
6. Stop all process pumps. Start 19K-1 & 20K-1 Motor driven LOP, CEP pumps.
7. Bottle up gas concentration unit. Isolate from Fractionator.
8. Open 19PIC202 to float 19C-1 to flare
9. When steam pressure resumes, inject steam to riser & proceed for MAB start up.
10. Close reactor,19C-2,19C-3 stripping steam and isolate the control valves
11. Gascon and Gasoline splitter unit to be bottled up.
55
9.6 POWER FAILURE
MAB / WGC will continue to run but 19P-2, P-103 will stop. Proceed for feed bypass immediately.
1. Change Feed bypass selector switch to BYPASS position on hardware panel
2. Cut in steam to riser and regulate the flow.
3. Ensure that regenerator cat. & spent cat slide valves are closed.
4. Isolate fuel supply to 19F-1.
5. Continue running WGC with spillback fully open
6. DCS supply will be available from UPS for 30 minutes. If power does not resume, trip MAB.
9.7 INSTRUMENT AIR FAILURE
In the case of general instrument air failure, 20PI-3501 (GSU B/L) DCS Alarm will generate. Instrument
air receiver at Unit 99 will allow FCCU to run for few minutes. If air pressure does not revive
immediately, it will not be possible to run the unit. All the control valves will take action to be in fail safe
position. Before that take following actions.
1. MAB to be tripped as surface condenser level will not be maintained as there will be no control
valve operation. Same in WGC.
2. Take shut down as per MAB Failure (Chapter 9.3)
3. Slide valves are operated by hydraulic oil, hence operate normal. Be sure spent & regenerated
catalyst slide valves are closed.
4. All fire shut down valves will close, hence related pumps will also trip (e.g. 19P-103).
56
9.8 COOLING WATER AIR FAILURE
FCCU CW distribution:-
Process Cooling Tower PCT (19FI-0215) : New WGC, Old MAB/WGC, 20E-203A/B, 19E-19
CRU Cooling Tower (20FI-0401) : 20E-14A/B/C/D, 19E-5/6/9/11
NPRU Cooling Tower (19PI-8105/06, 19FI-8101/8102) : New MAB, LPGTU, 20E-224A/B
Total Cooling water failure will affect MAB and WGC, as there will be no water for the lube oil coolers
and surface condensers, hence air blower and WGC have to be shut down. Follow the steps for unit
shutdown as in the case of air blower failure. Additionally,
1. Run all air coolers to avoid pressure build up
2. Reduce steam to riser, nozzles and Strippers to avoid pressure build up.
3. Depressurize 19C-1 through 19PIC202 , Gascon through flare interconnection in 20PIC-0063
and debutanizers through 20HC300 / 6901
4. Run air coolers if available.
5. Stop pumps where cooling water is required for bearing and pedestal
57
9.9 HYDRAULIC OIL FAILURE
58
9.9 HYDRAULIC OIL FAILURE
A) PRIMARY HYDRAULIC PUMP P-20 FAILURE – ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN DCS & FIELD
1. Check HMI panel at the start of the shift. Running pump (normally P-20) should be Primary & P-
21 should be secondary. Running pump must be the primary pump. P-20, 21 & circulation pump
22 – all should be in ready condition at HMI panel
2. In case of P-20 failure, Secondary Hydraulic pump P-21 should start automatically if it is in ready
condition.
3. If P-21 does not start, pressure is provided to the system by main accumulator that enables the
slide valve to be fully stroked 1 cycle / 2 strokes (closed to open AND open to closed positions).
4. To preserve main accumulator pressure take 19TIC0510 (RCSV), 19LIC61 (SCSV) & 19DPIC60
(DDSV) in Manual mode. Try to minimize slide valve controller output till pump is started from
field. Keep watch on system pressure (PI-22) & main accumulator pressure (PI-10). Once system
pressure (PI-22) is more than 110 Kg/cm
2
, put all controllers back in Auto mode.
5. Incase P-21 does not start automatically, following actions to be taken at field
a) Put 19P-21 in Manual & start the pump
b) If P-20 pump seems to be ok, put P-20 in Manual & start the pump. Incase P-20 is
running normal then stop P-21 & release stop button.
c) Put P-21 in Auto mode
d) Put P-20 in Auto mode
e) Check primary / secondary status at HMI panel. P-20 should be primary pump running &
P-21 standby.
f) Field stop buttons of all pumps must be in released condition
Note :- ESD (Emergency shutdown) function will always be there from ESD accumulator irrespective of
main accumulator pressure. Even if main accumulator pressure is very low, slide valve will get closed in
case of activation of interlock (Feed out, MAB trip etc.)
59
B) JOG CONTROL DURING LOSS OF SLIDE VALVE AUTOMATIC CONTROL :-
1. Put concerned slide valve controller in manual mode at DCS
2. Put auto/manual selector valve HV3 (located on the field control panel) to LOCAL mode (SILVER
COLOUR SELECTOR SWITCH). This will block pilot oil flow to PCV1,2,3,4 & close them. Hence oil is
locked inside the cylinder (Lock in Place). Slide valve will be locked into the last position. Lock in
place will be detected by low pressure of PG-6 or PI-6 which is installed at the downstream of
SOL-1 and HV3. Normal control operation from DCS will be overridden.
3. Once HV3 is in LOCAL mode, movement of the slide valve by Jog control can be done from field
or from control room aux. console panel.
Option A - Manual directional control valve HV2 can be used to open or close slide valve from
field. Clockwise 45
0
rotation will close slide valve & counter clock wise 45
0
rotation will open valve.
HV2 valve handle has 3 natural positions – one to close the valve, one to open & the centered
position to lock the valve in position. The valve handle must be kept in true centered position
when in automatic operation. Very precise control of slide valve opening/closing is slightly difficult
to achieve with HV2.
Option B - Ensure concerned slide valve controller in manual mode at DCS. For a very precise
control of slide valve movement, put Auto/Local selector switch HS1 (BLACK SELECTOR SWITCH)
given in field control panel in Local mode (NO NEED TO DO ANYTHING IN HV-3 OR HV-1). Solenoid
SOL1 will deenergize (close). This will block pilot oil flow to PCV1,2,3,4 & close them. Hence oil is
locked inside the cylinder (Lock in Place). Slide valve will be locked into the last position.
Automatic control through servo valve will not be there. Then slide valve can be moved by
applying power to push button for jog control solenoids SOL4 (close) or SOL5 (open). This push
buttons are available in field control panel as well as control room aux. console. With a single push
0.2% movement of slide valve is achieved. Control room push button not to be used due to
reliability problem.
60
Note : Before putting auto/manual selector valve HV3 in auto mode, match slide valve DCS controller
output with actual opening in field for bump less transfer. Bump less transfer means actuator should not
jump to DCS output when control is given from local (jog) to auto (DCS) i.e. if more than 3% difference
between ZI indication & DCS output is there, slide valve will be in locked in position. If this occurs, DCS
output must be changed to ZI value (within 3%) to unlock slide valve.
C) HANDWHEEL OPERATION:-
1. To operate the handwheel, Put auto/manual selector valve HV3, located on the local control
panel to LOCAL mode. This will alert panel operator that DCS control is not available. Then
keep Hand wheel bypass valve HV1 in bypass mode.
2. Engage handwheel by pushing engagement lever forward & rotating the pointer by 180
0
to
“lock” position. Slight rotation of the handwheel may be required for perfect locking.
3. Once engaged, the handwheel engagement lever needs to be pulled out to lock it from being
able to dis-engage. To dis-engage, reverse the above sequence.
Note :- Do not force the engagement handle lever. Only slight force will be required to rotate the
handle. No excessive force will ever be required to engage the handwheel.
D) LOSS OF SLIDE VALVE CONTROL :- Any functional failure (loss of input signal, loss of control power
etc.)will deenergize (close) solenoid SOL1 & slide valve will be Locked into the last position. Lock in
position will be indicated by low value of PI6. This condition will continue until remedial action (jog
control) is taken.
Note :- Lock in position does not override the emergency shutdown function which will remain active
even if the actuator system is locked in place.
61
9.10 CO BILER FAILURE
1. Divert regenerator flue gases to stack directly.
2. Inform power plant.
9.11 BEHIND IN BURNING
SIGNS OF BEHIND IN BURNING
A) Flue gas and dilute phase temperatures are lower than the dense phase temperatures.
B) Gap between the dilute phase & dense phase is less than usual.
C) Increase in dry gas yield & CLO.
CORRECTIVE ACTION
1. Increase the air rate to regenerator.
2. Charge feed of low density and carbon.
3. Increase reactor stripping steam.
4. Lower reactor temperature.
5. Reduce raw oil charge & recycle rates to the riser.
6. When coke is burnt & difference between dense phase and dilute phase is in increasing
trend, proceed to normalize the pre-conditions.
Note : Chance of behind in burning is very less in full combustion mode as excess air is supplied to Rg.
Since air to Rg is increased after behind in burning, dense bed temperature may increase rapidly
followed by increase in flue gas temperature (after burning).
62
9.12 AFTER BURNING
1. Add CO - Promoter
2. Reduce ROT, Increase COT, reduce t’put to reduce cat circulation rate. This will increase
catalyst residence time in Rg.
3. Increase feed CCR (less UCO), increase slurry recycle.
4. If feed & recycle rates have been reduced due to behind in burning or due to any reason,
revert the rates to normal.
5. Restore reactor condition to normal if they have been altered due to behind in burning
condition.
6. Have a close watch on air rate and other unit conditions and ensure that unit does not go
back to in behind in burning condition again.
9.13 PRESSURE IMBALANCE
1. Disturbance in MAB or WGC can lead to a pressure imbalance and subsequently closure of
slide valves. If catalyst circulation is stopped immediately feed must be cut off. It should be
reintroduced only after establishing the pressure balance and catalyst circulation.
2. DDSV can be controlled by either 19DPIC-0060 or 19DPIC0404-1. Incase of faulty indications,,
standby controller can be taken in line. Incase of DDSV valve problem, individual disc
(19HIC0060A/B) can be taken in manual control.
3. Incase of WGC trip, 19PV-0202 will open to 30% & become “Manual” to maintain Rx-Rg
pressure balance. Take 19PV-0202 in auto mode after pressure balance is restored.
63
9.14 LOSS OF SLIDE VALVE DIFFERENTIAL
Slide valve operation is so designed that the valve automatically close off & feed cut off takes place
when the differential across the valve drops below a certain value. This acts as a safety measure and
prevent flow reversal. Closure of slide valves will stop catalyst circulation. In such condition take
following actions.
1. Take emergency shut down.
2. Cut in emergency steam to riser to avoid plugging.
3. Transfer catalyst from Rx to Rg
4. Adjust air to regenerator & WGC load.
5. Cut in feed to reactor riser as soon as catalyst circulation is reestablished.
9.15 FEED PREHEATER 19F-1 FAILURE
Check and trace the reason for failure. Take the following actions.
1. If the failure is due to coil tube leak, cut off feed to reactor, inject steam to riser & proceed
for shut down. Start furnace box purging steam.
2. If the failure is due to fuel oil / Fuel gas supply, try to establish fuel supply & light up furnace
on available fuel.
3. Incase of FG failure, isolate all FG burners. Maintain COT by taking additional FO burners in
line. Take FG burners one by one after supply restoration.
4. If furnace remains off for a longer period. Vent steam as there will be no super heating.
5. Adjust feed to reactor riser & air rate to regenerator.
64
9.16 PLUGGED REACTOR RISER
The plugging has to be broken from top of reactor to downward direction
1. Increase steam to slurry nozzle to maximum.
2. Increase steam to HCO nozzle to maximum.
3. Increase steam to Feed nozzle to maximum.
4. Increase steam to riser.
9.17 HIGH REACTOR TEMPERATURE
High reactor temperature may be due to
A). RCSV failure
B).Feed failure / Changes in feed compositions
C).Failures of recycles
D). Sudden increase in Rg pressure. Check DDSV opening
E).Check Torch oil injection ,if it’s on stop injection
Take following actions
1. Reduce catalyst circulation rate by manually closing the regenerated catalyst slide valve
2. Reduce furnace outlet temperature
3. While effecting any change in the reactor condition close watch has to be kept on the regenerator
section, as e.g. when catalyst circulation is reduced, the regenerator temperature will go up
4. If, however, reactor temperature does not fall, drastic measure like feed and air cut out are to be
taken after stopping catalyst circulation
Note : Reactor shell design temperature is 556
0
C. Feed cut off interlock due to high Rx temperature at
552
0
C.
65
9.18 VERY HIGH REGENERATOR TEMPERATURE
Because of the after burning reaction, large temperature differences between the dense phase and
dilute phase will occur. If dilute phase temperature is high it can be lowered by.
1. Reduction in air rate.
2. Increasing feed CCR (less UCO)
3. Injection of torch oil
4. Increase reactor temperature.
5. Increase slurry and HCO to reactor riser.
9.19 SLURRY PUMP FAILURE
If the spare pump does not start cut off feed and proceed for “Feed failure”.
The slurry pump maintains the level in main column and on its failing superheated reactor effluent
vapors will lift the liquid material and would cause damage to trays.
Incase of pump cavitation problem, following actions to be taken:-
1. Check flushing steam B/V to pump suction line
2. Open casing vent to column line
3. Incase of low level, take feed to column bottom from start up manifold. Keep unit T’put closely under
observation during this operation.
4. Reduce ROT
5. Increase HCO CR, Close HCO recycle
6. Drop LCO as much as possible
66
9.20 HCO PUMP FAILURE
If the spare pump does not start, reduce ROT immediately & later reduce T’put. Maximize MCB CR flow.
Debutanizer reboiling will disturb, hence LPG & Gasoline will be off spec.
Incase of pump cavitation problem, following actions to be taken:-
1. Take feed to HCO tray from start up manifold. Keep unit T’put closely under observation during this
operation.
2. Crack open pump casing vent, throttle discharge valve
9.21 LEAKAGE OF CATALYST - REGENERATOR ZONE
Check the possibility of attending the leak as quickly as possible, if not possible take following actions
immediately
1. Cut off feed (Bypass feed from hardware panel)
2. Cordon off the area
3. Start offloading catalyst
4. Take appropriate action to reduce leakage of catalyst

9.25 DCS FAILURE
The DCS failure may be of 2 types:
A) DCS POWER FAILURE
In case power failure the total DCS will fail. All of the OS will be blank. All signals to the control valve
would be zero i.e. the control valve would go on there ‘zero signal position’. A twelve point recorder is
provided to monitor the critical parameter.
019-DPIC-60, Reaction - Regenerator delta pressure
019-TIC-0501, Reactor Temperature controller
019-LI-0501A, Reaction stripper level.
019-DPI-0502, Differential pressure across RCSV
019-DPI-70, differential pressure across SCSV.
019-XI-221 ,Deviation from Surge line for MAB
019-LI-1102, Fines disposal hopper level
019-FI-288, Feed flow to reactor. 69
019-TIC-99, 19-F-1 outlet Temperature.
019-PIC-202, overhead receiver pressure controller.
019-LI-157, Main column bottom level.
019-TI-159, main column bottom temperature.
With the help of this recorder, unit shall be tripped manually.
Take following actions.
1. Trip MAB, this will intern activate feed out interlock. Take emergency shutdown as per
procedure.
2. Ensure in field that RCSV, SCSV closed, 19FV-0466 (Riser steam) & PV-0202 opened fully.
3. Open 19FV-0466 C/V B/P, Open 19PV-0202 hardwire switch.
4. Trip feed pump, isolate feed to riser B/V, Trip WGC.
5. Isolate 19F-1 FG/FO, vent steam
6. Proceed for other shut down activities.
B) DCS SYSTEM FAILURE:
In DCS system failure the operator station will remain on, but no data shall be available from plant. All
signal to the control valve would be last value position but the moment system restores the signals will
be at zero i.e. valve would come in fail safe condition. A twelve point recorder is provided to monitor
the critical parameter. With the help of this recorder, unit shall be tripped manually as mentioned
above.
9.26 PLC FAILURE
PLC also stands for ESDS (Emergency shutdown system). During PLC failure all critical pump auto start
facility will be suspended, also the MAB and WGC would trip. All shutdown valves shall go to their fail
safe conditions because PLC will trigger to fail safe mode.

Matrix – Alumina, Bottom cracking (Primary cracking of large molecules), Prevents N2/Vi attack &
guards Zeolite activity.
Binder (Silica / Silica-Alumina / clay) - Serves as a glue to hold Zeolite, matrix, clay together. Dilute
catalyst activity.
Filler - Clay (Kaoline–Al2(OH)2, Si2O5) provides desirable heat transfer characteristics that are
important in commercial FCC operations.
Binder & Filler provide physical integrity (Density, attrition resistance, particle size), necessary
mechanical strength & hardness to preserve the integrity of catalyst under severe regeneration
conditions required by process.
Catalyst Performance Evaluation :
ZSA/MSA: Matrix, Zeolite distribution, Correlates with activity
PV: Pore volume availability for cracking. Thermal deactivation decreases PV.
ABD : Very high Poor fluidization, Very low Cat. Loss
PSD : Indication of fluidization property. More 0-40 µ fraction, better fluidization, more catalyst loss
MAT : Standard VGO injected into fixed bed of catalyst. Conversion (221
0
C) is reported as MAT
Al
2O
3 : Bottom cracking ability
C : Coke on Regenerated Catalyst (CRC)
UCS : Indicator of Zeolite activity. Low UCS, more activity, more octane, C3
=
.
Rare earth : Improves Zeolite stability, High Gasoline, less octane
Ni/V : Present in heavier fraction of Vacuum column. Ni deposits on Matrix, promotes
dehydrogenation reaction, produces unstable olefins, Hence more dry gas & coke. V also promotes
dehydrogenation but 20-50% less than Ni. Unlike Ni, V migrates to inner pore & V2O5 melts at 690
0
C
causing collapse of Zeolite structure.
Grace Index = Ni + V/4, H2/Methane Ratio : <0.5 (MR FCCU)
Na2O : Reacts with Zeolite acid sites, decreases hydrothermal stability

Additives
Desired Properties:-
1.
Improves operational flexibility
2. Significant Economic Benefits
3. Quick response / performance
4. Easy to add / withdraw
Commonly used additives:
ZSM-5 – Increases gasoline octane, C3/C4 olefin yields
CO Promoter – Enhances CO Burning in Rg dense bed
Bottom Cracking Additives (BCA) – Upgrades bottom of the feed, Useful for units with higher Rg
temperature, higher bottom yield & frequent feed quality variation
SOX additives – Reduces SOX in Rg flue gas
Ni & V Passivators – Reduces detrimental effects of metals on product yields & catalyst health
GSR Additives – Reduces Sulfur in Gasoline products
Catalyst Deactivation
1. Catalyst deactivation by temperature: Activity remains stable in the region of 620-730
0
C. After
this point activity begins decreasing rapidly.
2. Steam deactivation: Hot regenerated catalyst is subject to breakage and deactivation if contacted
by large amounts of steam over extended period. If the velocity of steam is too high, attrition can
damage catalyst.
3. Torch oil: If not properly atomized, a high concentration of the oil can result in localized areas
hotter than seen by Rg TIs .This can also happen when oil is injected into a non fluidized stagnant
bed. Lower air rates as during startup can cause this. Therefore torch oil during startup should be
minimized.
4. Coke: Gets deposited after cracking. Contains 5-10% hydrogen with small quantities of S,N and
metals. Coke deactivates by blocking acid sites and at times the entire pore.
5. N2 : Basic N2 neutralizes acid sites. Temporary poison, produces Nox
6. Poison : Damages or weakens catalyst structure, Block acid sites, catalyze undesirable reaction12s8

VESSEL ENTRY PROCEDURE
In refinery operation a vessel is a process equipment normally used to hold temporarily or store various type of
process fluids. Hydrocarbon gases or liquids, steam or water, acids or alkalis are the prevailing fluids usually in use:
PREPARION OF VESSEL FOR MAINTENANCE & INSPECTION
Pump out the vessel content completely.
For heavy hydrocarbons dilute the material with flushing oil and pump out.
Drain out remaining portion of hydro carbons to CBD or OWS.
For Vessel handling chemicals, dilute the vessel content with water and then empty out to chemical sewage
system.
Close all the inlet and outlet valves of lines connected to the vessel, including SRV isolation valves, steam coils
(if provided).
Depressurize the vessel and purge the hydrocarbon vapors with steam/inert gas to flare. Then keep the vent
open.
Blind all inlet and outlet flanges of the vessel. With wedge opening towards vessel side.
Steam the vessel thoroughly. For vessel containing heavy hydrocarbons more steaming required.
Keep the vents and drains of instrument tapings open for flushing.
Ensure proper steaming by checking steam flow from from all opening provided.
Ensure proper draining of the condensates from the vessel for effective steaming and removal of effective
hydrocarbons.
Provide water supply to the vessel. Fill and overflow water from the vessel for about four hours.
Hot water wash may be given, if required, followed by cold water wash.
Drain the water completely.
Open the man way covers.
Blind steam and water supply lines.
Provide exhaust fans, as required for cooling and ventilation.
Gas test and calibration instrument : Test vessel inside and surrounding for presence of explosive gas mixture
(negative), oxygen (more than 19%), Hydrogen sulfide (negative).
135
Give “Entry Permit” through prescribed format, specifying all precautions to be taken for cleaning the vessel.
Ensure one person outside the vessel near manhole till person working inside.
Presence of “Pyrophoric iron sulfide “ when exposed to air reacts with oxygen generating sufficient heat to
become a source of ignition. These are to be removed under wet conditions to a safe area or buried to
prevent ignition.
Chemical solution wash to diffuse Pyrophoric iron may be used, if felt necessary.
Gas test with calibrated instrument: test vessel inside and surroundings for presence of explosive gas
mixture(negative), Oxygen (more than 19%).
Give “Entry Permit” through prescribed format, specifying all precautions to be taken for “Maintenance &
Inspection”.

19. QUALITY CONTROL OF PRODUCTS
1. COPPER STRIP CORROSION:
This test method detects presence of components in petroleum product, which may be corrosive to
copper.
Significance: Copper corrosion limit provides assurance that the fuel oil is safe for copper and copper
alloy fittings and connections.
Outline of the method: A polished copper strip is immersed in the specified volume of the sample and
maintained at the specified temperature for the specified length of time. The strip is then compared
with ASTM copper strip corrosion standard colour code after cleaning with sulphur free petroleum
spirit. A special copper strip corrosion test cylinder is used for testing of LPG.
2. CARBON RESIDUE (Conradson):
Carbon residue can be defined as the amount of carbon residue left after evaporation and pyrolysis of
an oil. Carbon residue is tested for relatively non-
volatile petroleum products, which partially decompose on distillation at atmospheric pressure.
Significance: It gives measure of carbon depositing tendency of fuel oil. It correlates approximately with
the combustion chamber deposits of the engine.
Conradson Carbon Residue: In this method a weighed quantity of sample is placed in a crucible and
subjected to destructive distillation by applying severe heating. At the end of the specified heating
period, the test crucible containing the carbonaceous residue is cooled in a desiccator and weighed. The
residue remaining is calculated as percentage of the original sample and reported as Conradson Carbon
Residue.
148
3. DENSITY, RELATIVE DENSITY AND API GRAVITY:
Density is the mass of liquid per unit volume at specified temperature (15°C). Relative density (specific
gravity) is the ratio of the mass of the given volume of the liquid at 60°F to mass of equal volume of
pure water at the same temperature. API gravity is special function of relative density (specific gravity).
141.5
Degree API = ----------------------------------- 131.5
Specific Gr. 60°/60°F
Significance: Density is a fundamental physical property that can be used in conjunction with other
properties to characterize petroleum product. Accurate determination of density, relative density and
API gravity of petroleum products is necessary for the conversion of the measured volumes to the
volumes at standard temperature of 15°C of 60°F. It is also a factor governing the quality of crude
petroleum oil and used as one of the factor for deciding the price of the crude oil. Higher API gravity
means higher light and middle distillate content in crude oil.
Outline of the method: Density can be carried out manually using hydrometers and thermometer or it
can be done using a digital density meter that work on the principle of change in oscillation frequency
due to the change in mass of the sample tube in conjunction with calibration data.
4. DOCTOR TEST:
This test method is intended for the detection of mercaptans in motor fuel, kerosene and similar
petroleum products.
Outline of the method: The sample is shaken with sodium plumbite solution (Doctor solution), a small
quantity of powder sulphur is added and the mixture shaken again. The presence of mercaptans or
hydrogen sulphide or both is indicated by discolouration of the sulphur layer floating at the oil-water
interface or by discolouration of either of the phases.
Significance: Mercaptan sulphurs and hydrogen sulphide present in distillate fuels are corrosive in
nature and can attack many metallic and non-metallic parts in fuel distribution systems.
149
5. FLASH POINT:
It is the lowest temperature at which a material gives so much vapour that, these vapour when mixed
with air, forms an ignitable mixture and gives a momentary flash on application of a small pilot flame.
Outline of the method: The sample is heated in a test cup at a specified rate with continuous stirring. A
small test flame is directed in to the cup at regular
intervals with simultaneous interruption of stirring. The flash point is taken as the lowest temperature at
which the application of the test flame causes the vapour above the sample to ignite momentarily.
Significance: It is one of a number of properties that must be considered in accessing the overall
flammability hazard of a material. Flash point and fire point have importance in connection with legal
requirements and safety precautions involved in fuel handling and storage.
6. POUR POINT TEST:
Pour point is the lowest temperature expressed as a multiple of 3°C at which the oil is observed to flow
when cooled and examined under prescribed conditions.
Outline of method: After preliminary heating the sample is cooled at a specified rate and examined at
intervals of 3°C for flow characteristics. The lowest temperature at which movement of the sample is
observed is recorded as the pour point.
Significance: The pour point of a petroleum product is an index of the lowest temperature of it’s utility
for certain applications.
7. REID VAPOUR PRESSURE OF HYDROCARBON LIQUID:
This method is for the determination of vapour pressure of volatile non-viscous liquid.
Outline of the method: The sample chamber filled with the cold sample is connected to the air chamber
of the apparatus fitted with a pressure gauge. The apparatus is then kept at a temperature of 38°C and
shaken periodically until a constant reading is obtained on the pressure gauge. Necessary corrections are
applied to this reading to get the corrected Reid Vapour Pressure of the sample.
150
Significance: Vapour pressure is critically important for both automotive and aviation gasolines,
affecting starting, warm up, and tendency to vapour lock with high operating temperatures or high
altitudes. Vapour pressure of crude oil is important for it’s safe transportation, storage and initial
refinery treatments.
8. WATER AND SEDIMENTS:
This method is for the determination of precipitated water and sediment in crude oil and fuel oil by
means of the centrifuge.
Outline of the method: Equal volumes of the sample and water saturated toluene are placed in each
of two cone shaped 100 ml centrifuge tubes and thoroughly mixed. After centrifugation the volume of
water and sediment layer collected at the bottom of the tube is read and reported as BS&W.
Significance: The water and sediment present in a fuel oil may cause corrosion of equipment and
problem in processing. It is also important for evaluation of crude oil for commercial purposes.
9. OCTANE NUMBER (RESEARCH METHOD AND MOTOR METHOD):
Octane number of the spark ignition engine fuels is volume percent of iso-octane in a blend with n-
heptane that matches the knock intensity of the fuel when compared under specified conditions. The
research octane number is determined by knock testing unit (CFR Engine) using the standard operating
conditions given in ASTM D 2699. Whereas motor octane number is determined using the standard
operating conditions given in ASTM D 2700.
Significance: Research octane number in conjunction with motor octane number defines the Antiknock
Index of Automatic Spark Ignition Engine fuels in accordance with specification ASTM D 4812. The
antiknock index of a fuel approximates the road octane ratings for many vehicles.
(RON + MON)
Antiknock Index (AKI) = ----------------------

151
10. PIONA ANALYSIS:
This test method provides for the estimation of paraffins, iso-paraffins, olefins, naphthenes and
aromatics by carbon number in low olefinic hydrocarbon streams having final boiling points of 200
0
C or
less.
Significance: Knowledge of the composition of hydrocarbon refinery streams is useful for process
control and quality assurance purposes. Aromatics in gasoline are soon to be limited by federal
mandate. This test method can be used to provide such information.
