What Does FCC Stand For?

FCC stands for Fluidized Catalytic Cracking

Fluidized Catalytic Cracking (FCC) is a critical petrochemical process used in oil refining to convert heavy hydrocarbon fractions into lighter, more valuable products such as gasoline and diesel. The process utilizes a catalyst in a fluidized state to enhance the breaking of large hydrocarbon molecules into smaller ones, improving overall yield and efficiency. FCC units are essential for optimizing refinery output and meeting market demands for high-quality fuels while minimizing environmental impact.
