EZ Flow™ FCC additive

BASF EZ Flow™ is an FCC additives that enable petroleum refiners to improve catalyst circulation.

Improving the fluidization of a catalyst is critical because fluidization behavior determines how a catalyst circulates in a FCC unit. A unit that circulates catalyst poorly is difficult to oprate and may run at a lower catalyst-to-oil ratio than desired, thus having an adverse effect on product yields and selectivity.

BASF EZ Flow additive is designed to increase the fluidization index of all FCC catalyst technologies. Advantages of the increased operational flexibilty that can be enjoyed while using EZ Flow are increased catalyst circulation rate, improved pressure buildup in the standpipe and a more uniform density.
