Behaviour of Three Phase Flow in a Catalytic Cracking Unit



Scholarship Description

the aim of the research is to increase our understanding of the complex three phase flow inside a Fluid Catalytic Cracking unit used in the petroleum industry. The work will involve a combination of experimental investigation and computational modelling that will eventually be used to modify the existing unit to eliminate afterburning in the regenerators.
