Project Description

Special Catalyst For CPP Process fcc catalyst

Applicable Scope

CPP (Catalytic Pyrolysis Process) catalysts are developed for CPP process, which is the commercial process using heavy feeds aiming at ethylene and propylene production.

Characteristics

RIPP has developed CPP technologies for meeting the increasing demands of light products. With the specific heavy feed and suitable operation, the ethylene and propylene yield of CPP have been up to 20% and 18% respectively. With a low specification in operation pressure and a large scale in processing capacity, CPP has a comparative sweeter operation conditions, suitable for clients with an economical investment.

Design Philosophy

CPP catalysts are seeking for high ethylene and propylene selectivity. The catalysts have high matrix activity for bottom primary cracking. Mesopore zeolites have been used for further secondary cracking. The active sites for selective pyrolysis are indispensable. The hydrogen transfer reactions need to be controlled. CPP unit has much more severity on operating conditions than FCCU, and the catalysts have high hydrothermal stability and metals tolerance.
