Fluid catalytic cracking, a common secondary process employed in the petroleum industry, is used to convert heavier feedstocks into products such as liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), motor gasoline, diesel etc. The present study focuses on developing a three lump fraction kinetic model to estimate the yield of C5 up to 370°C cut (motor gasoline and middle distillates). A Micro Activity Test (MAT) apparatus was used to estimate the parameters in the kinetic model. The study is useful in evolving a procedure to simulate plant performance using experimental data obtained in the MAT apparatus for a particular catalyst and feedstock in terms of the product yield pattern.
