FCC is by far the most important petrochemical process that involves the broadest scope of particulate technology. Although the chemistry of the FCC process is rather complex, many of the operational problems are in fact associated with handling fluid-particle systems and related mechanical issues, such as erosion. In particular, the reactor/regenerator section of the FCC unit includes many aspects of fluid-particle systems that are critical to FCC design and operation. 

Extrusion and injection molding are both widely used as shaping processes in particulate technology. This is because, unlike pressing processes, they allow the formation of complex shapes from particulate feed stocks in cost-effective, almost-continuous processes. In addition, the bodies produced by these routes can often be close to their final shape (near net shaped) requiring little finishing. A key element in both processes is the formulation of a plastically deformable body or paste which will flow in a predictable way under an applied pressure gradient and temperature.
