From the CDU unit, we get CDU-Gasoline cut as well as AGO and VGO cuts. FCC- Gasoline cut is also
produced from the FCC as well as LCO, which is then fed to a hydrocracking unit to produce
Hydrocracking-Gasoline.
We must calculate the total amount of gasoline (lb/h) that is produced from all units.
Consider the crude distillation unit :
190-380°F cut
IBP = 190 °F = 87.78°C = 649.67°R
1
EBP= 380°F= 193.33°C= 839.67°R
Substituting in eq ( 8.0) to get LV% at IBP and EBP :
Cut vol % = 44.71-35.95=8.76%
Cut mid volume = 40.33
Substituting the cut mid volume in eq ( 8.1) to get API= 30.29
From the Eq (8.4) ,we get SG = 0.875
Cut volume = 0.0876(100,000)= 8760 BPD
Cut amount = 8760(SG)(14.60)=8760(0.875)(14.60)=111,909 lb/h

Cut volume = 0.0367(100,000)= 3670 BPD
Cut amount = 3670(SG)(14.60)=3670(0.902)(14.60)=48,330.964 lb/h

From the Eq (8.4) ,we get SG = 0.912
Cut volume = 0.0292(100,000)= 2920 BPD
Cut amount = 2920(SG)(14.60)=2920(0.912)(14.60)= 38,880.384 lb/h
Total feed to FCC = 48,330.964 lb/h + 38,880.384 lb/h = 87,211.348 lb/h
SG for AGO = 0.902 and SG for VGO = 0.912
