What Does FCCU Stand For?

FCCU stands for Fluidized Catalytic Cracking Unit

FCCU, or Fluidized Catalytic Cracking Unit, is a vital industrial facility utilized in petroleum refining to convert heavy hydrocarbon feedstocks into lighter, more valuable products such as gasoline and diesel. The process involves the use of a catalyst to enhance the cracking of larger molecules into smaller, more useful ones, operating under fluidized bed conditions to maximize efficiency and yield. FCCUs play a crucial role in optimizing refining operations and improving the overall profitability of refinery outputs.
