- A novel method of predicting compressibility factor distribution in the height of the riser in a fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) process is to use the Z factor correlation of Heidaryan et al. (2010). This leads to accurate estimations of important process variables, such as pressure and predicts accurate yields of riser fuels. This findings facilitate accurate planning and setting of production targets for the FCC unit. The results provide new design guidance and subsequent performance improvement of the industrial FCC unit, resulting in a substantial financial gain.
