CJ Farley, Vice President of Refining Consulting at Astron International, conducted a FCC Health Check Workshop at the 2008 NPRA Cat Cracker Seminar in Houston, Texas.  The workshop was very well attended. One of the highlights was a FCC survey that was conducted live with audience participation and the results were compiled and presented in near real time at the workshop.

FCC reliability was the main focus of the workshop with emphasis on FCC unit health monitoring strategies to ensure operating plan success over 3-6 year run lengths required today.
