Viva Energy's Geelong refinery reduces FCCU turnaround risk

摘要

Change involves risk. Many fluidized catalytic cracking units (FCCUs) can be operated more profitably, but changes to achieve more efficient operations can be risky. Gains realized by modifying a stable but suboptimal process can be quickly erased if unforeseen, adverse effects are experienced. Such was the case for Viva Energy's Geelong refinery.
