FCCU is one of the most important elements in Petrochemical industry. In 2006 alone, FCCUs refined one-third of the crude Oil worldwide. FCCUs convert the heavy distillates like Gasoil (feed) and Crude Oil to Gasoline, Olefinic gases and other more usable products. Since FCCUs yield large amount of products very efficiently, along with the Petrochemical products' daily price fluctuations, the optimization of such units has always been the focus of attention for engineers as well as investors. Unlike the conventional controllers, Fuzzy Logic is the perfect choice for uncertain, dynamic and nonlinear processes where the mathematical model of the plant cannot be produced, or if realizable, a great deal of approximation is involved. The heuristic approach of Fuzzy Logic controllers is the closest form to human language, and this virtue will make them a perfect candidate for a wide range of industrial applications. The investigations in this paper are simulated and proven by MATLAB Fuzzy Logic Toolbox R2012b. Through this paper, the applicability and promising results of Fuzzy Logic controllers for such a complex and demanding plant will be investigated.
