Fluidized catalytic cracking (FCC) is regarded one of the most significant operations in the oil refining industries to convert feedstock (mainly vacuum gasoil) to valuable products (namely gasoline and diesel). The behavior of the fluidized catalytic cracking process is playing a main part on the overall benefits of refinery units and improving in process or control of fluidized catalytic cracking plants will result in exciting benefits economically.
