Fluidized catalytic cracking units

Consider the example in Fig. 26 of determining if there is a problem with the feed injection system of a fluidized catalytic cracking unit (Ramesh et al., 1992). In this example, there is a set of rules that relate combinations of process observations to establish or reject this possibility.

Figure 26, shown earlier, is a simple form of input mapping called table lookup. A more complicated inference mechanism is illustrated in Fig. 30. Here we see a simple example from a fluidized catalytic cracking unit in which multiple product quality attributes can be explained by multiple operating parameters (Ramesh et al., 1992).

In 1971, LDHs containing different metal cations (such as Mg, Zn, Ni, Cr, Co, Mn and Al) with carbonate as interlayer anions, calcined at 473-723 K and partially or completely chlorinated, were reported to be effective as supports for Ziegler catalysts in the polymerization of olefins [8], with the maximum catalytic activity of polyethylene production observed for Mg/Mn/Al - CO3 LDH calcined at 473 K. Even earher, calcined Mg/Al LDHs were used to support Ce02 for SO removal from the emissions from fluidized catalytic cracking units (FCCU) [9,10]. Some transition metal oxides have also been... 

The third incident was a fire that occurred in the fluidized catalytic cracking unit (FCCU).
