ACE Models R and R+
("R" for research and "R+" for Research
with Automatic Catalyst Addition)

The "R series" is designed to address advanced technical issues pertinent to FCC yield measurement that cannot be handled by simple units.

Key Features:

• Coke yield measurement within the unit
• Six catalyst samples per set
• High CCR feed capable
• Variable contact time measurements
• Computer control including gas GC operation
• Typical run time of 65 minutes

Typical Applications:

• Refining, catalyst and process research
• Development of kinetic models
• Variable riser residence time including emulation of short contact time FCC
• Catalyst strippability measurements
