JETTISON Solids Release Agent Improved FCC Unit Operations Results • Improved FCC unit on-stream time and refinery throughput by reducing expander fouling • Reduction in Fe deposited on the FCC catalyst Challenges • Expander vibrations on FCC resulted in throughput reductions • Refinery believed high iron levels on catalyst were causing expander fouling • Solids and iron levels in desalter demonstrated neutral buoyancy characteristics BHGE solution • JETTISON solids release agent • Majority of solids removed during desalting appeared in brine effluent • Reduced FCC E-CAT marginal iron by over 20% A refinery operator had been experiencing high expander vibrations on their fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) unit due to fouling of the expander blades. The expander had to
