Fluid catalytic cracking(FCC) is one of the most important conversion process for making heavy oil lighter in petroleum chemical engineering field. With the continuous exploitation of oil, there has been an increase in heavy components within crude oil, resulting a higher production of slurry oil, which accounts for 5~10% of the total amount of crude oil and contains high content solid catalyst content, along with lots of poly-cyclic aromatic hydrocarbon. Slurry oil can be utilized for various purposes, such as producing carbon black, rubber filing oil, blending marine fuel oil, residual oil hydrogenation back refining, carbon fiber raw materials, etc. However the solid content in slurry oil must be strictly controlled. Therefor controlling the solid content in slurry oil is crucial as it significantly impacts the subsequent reprocessing of the oil.

The discharge quality of metal cross flow filtration system is not affected by the solid content, colloid and asphaltene content of the feed. The discharge of filtered slurry oil and concentrated slurry oil are continuous and stable, with filter element uneasy plugged, low blow back frequency. The system has been successfully applied in large domestic refineries, fully meeting the design requirements of solid content in filtered slurry oil, filtration flux and blow back frequency, etc.
