Abstract: Fluidized Catalytic Cracker Units (FCCU) have been used for many years in the oil refining industry. Under normal operation, there is little concern regarding catalyst dust emission into the atmosphere from these devices. However, concern does arise during FCCU start ups, as higher than normal emission rates are common. Stack sampling was carried out on an FCCU during start up to confirm the magnitude and type of emissions present. The current paper presents the results of stack testing undertaken during the first 19 days after a start up and discusses distinct stages, with regards to air emissions, which occur during that period of time.
