Overview of the Fluid Catalytic Cracking Market
Fluid catalytic cracking is amongst the most significant conversion processes utilized within petroleum refineries. It is broadly employed for the conversion of high-molecular weight hydrocarbon fractions of petroleum into more valuable olefinic gases, gasoline, and other products. Fluid catalytic cracking is a kind of secondary unit operation that majorly results in additional production of gasoline within petroleum refining processes.
The soaring demand for olefinic gases, gasoline, and petroleum products for meeting the increasing need for power and fuel will fuel the growth of the market for fluid catalytic cracking. However, the huge cost of operations may impede the growth of the market in the coming years. In addition, feedstock competition is a key concern for the operators of refineries and may also negatively impact the development of the market.
In terms of technological configuration, the report segments the market into side-by-side type and stacked-type. Within the fluid catalytic cracking segment, both the catalyst reactor and regenerator are the key components. The catalyst reactor and regenerator are within two different vessels in side by side type fluid catalytic cracking unit. On the other hand, in the stacked type fluid catalytic unit, the catalyst reactor and regenerator are within a single vessel and just below the catalyst reactor is the catalyst regenerator.
Geographically, the market is segmented into Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, and Rest of the World (RoW).
Key Suppliers and Technology Licensors in the Fluid Catalytic Cracking Market
The key suppliers of fluid catalytic cracking catalyst are W.R Grace Company, Albemarle Corporation, and BASF SE. On the other hand, the prime technology licensors of hydrocracker units are CB&I Company, Axens, Chevron Lummus Global, Flour Corporation, Exxon Mobil, KBR Inc., UOP, and Shell Global Solutions, among others.
