AFPM Webinar: Slide Valve Online Erosion Monitoring
2024-11-07 14:00 - 15:00 (America/New_York) | Virtual, United States
Join us TODAY at 2:00 pm Eastern for the Slide Valve Online Erosion Monitoring webinar. To Register for this webinar, click here.
This webinar will be held on GoTo Webinar. This is NOT a Teams meeting.
The purpose of this webinar is to share some of the good practices used by refiners for online monitoring of catalyst slide valve erosion for Fluidized Catalytic Cracking (FCC) units. The intent of these monitoring practices is to identify slide valve erosion during the run to allow for early planning for repairs and management of the expected eroded slide valve leakage during non-routine operations. Significantly eroded slide valves may result in quick loss of catalyst level and increase vulnerability to back-flow scenarios in standby operation, which was a major contributing factor to some recent high-consequence FCC incidents.
