A fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) unit is an important refinery unit operation responsible for about 45% of total petrol production. The aim of this study is to improve the petrol production efficiency of Australian refineries thus allowing our country not only to maintain its self-sufficiency but also to permit lucrative exports. This will be done by optimising the performance of the FCC unit through novel computational fluid dynamic simulations. The outcomes of this study will enable refiners to produce cleaner fuel (e.g., fuel with less sulphur) and decrease air pollution from the FCC unit (in the form of CO and particulates) thus helping Australia to preserve its diverse and relatively pollution-free environment.

催化裂化装置是一种重要的炼油装置，其产量约占汽油总产量的45%。这项研究的目的是提高澳大利亚炼油厂的汽油生产效率，从而使我国不仅能够保持自给自足，而且还允许利润丰厚的出口。这将通过新颖的计算流体动力学模拟来优化FCC装置的性能。这项研究的结果将使炼油厂能够生产更清洁的燃料（例如，含硫更少的燃料），并减少来自FCC装置的空气污染（以CO和颗粒的形式），从而帮助澳大利亚保持其多样化和相对无污染的环境。
