Although extensive CFB riser studies have been conducted, most of the reported data are for risers operating at relatively low gas velocities. There is a lack of hydrodynamics data for conditions similar or close to those of commercial FCC risers.
This presentation by Peter Blaser discusses simulation as a means to “look inside” the FCCU, addressing issues such as erosion, catalyst losses, afterburn. Emissions, and catalyst circulation problems.

This presentation by Ray Fletcher discusses a case study set forth in CAT-16-17: The Experience of a Team of Experts to Resolve Severe Regenerator Maldistribution, which was presented at the AFPM 2016 Cat Cracker Seminar. Fletcher demonstrates how the Barracuda VR was used to analyze issues.
This paper looks at how a team including Peccatiello Engineering, Emtrol-Buell Technologies, and CPFD came together to solve an exceptionally challenging case of FCC regenerator maldistribution.
On September 15th, CPFD Software will present the third webinar of its FCC series, How Regenerator Maldistribution Affects Emissions, Afterburn and Catalyst Losses. Ray Fletcher, FCC Senior Technologist with CPFD…
This presentation by Ray Fletcher provides an overview of both stable and unstable forms of afterburn, and shows how the Barracuda Virtual Reactor is used to troubleshoot afterburn issues in FCC regenerators.
