Definitions
- the invention relates to the catalytic cracking of hydrocarbon feedstocks, particularly residual portions of crude oils comprising substantial amounts of asphaltenes, asphalt and other carbon producing components and substantial amounts of heavy metal contaminants such as nickel and vanadium, and sulfur and nitrogen compounds.
- the catalytic cracking of crude oil fractions is well known in the art.
- the hydrocarbon feedstock is contacted in a riser with an upflowing stream of catalyst particles, particularly a crystalline zeolite, following which the products are separated, the catalyst particles passed to a regeneration zone in which they are contacted with a hot-oxygen containing gas to burn off deposited carbon, following which the regenerated catalyst particles are recycled to the riser.
- the present invention relates to improving the product selectivity obtained and maintaining the desired equilibrium catalyst activity during the cracking of such heavy oil feeds.
- US-A-4,427,537 discloses a process in which an atomized oil-diluent feed mixture is formed externally of the riser in an atomizing gas comprising water, steam, CO 2 or normally gaseous hydrocarbons which is then introduced into an upwardly flowing stream of catalyst particles suspended in a lift gas likewise comprising C0 2 , steam or normally gaseous hydrocarbons.
- EP-A-0 074 501 discloses a specific zeolite catalyst which is used in combination with a lift gas comprising naphtha, steam and water for the cracking of reduced crudes high in metal contaminants and Conradson carbon producing components.
- EP-A-0 154 676 published subsequently to the filing of the present application but claiming an earlier priority date (and designating only AT, DE, FR, GB, IT and NL in common herewith) discloses a fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) process for the conversion of relatively high boiling feedstocks to lighter hydrocarbons in which the regenerated catalyst is beneficially conditioned prior to contact with the feedstock in order to promote the catalyst feed interaction and maximise the yield of desired products.
- FCC fluid catalytic cracking
- a hydrocarbon-containing gas which includes not more than 10 mole% of C 3 or heavier hydrocarbons, and which is contacted with the regenerated catalyst particles in the lower regions of the riser, and before contact with the feed, thereby selectively to carbonize reaction sites on the catalyst prior to contact with the feed whilst simultaneously accelerating the catalyst to a velocity sufficient to provide turbulent dilute flow at the point of contact with the feedstock.
- Gas velocities in the lower part of the riser range from 1.8 to 12.2 m/sec. with a catalyst residence time of from 0.5 to 15 seconds.
- the lift gas selectively carbonizes active contaminating metal sites and acid sites on the catalyst thereby respectively reducing hydrogen and coke production believed to result from the former, and providing greater product selectivity.
- the lift gas may also contain other species such as H 2 , H 2 S, N 2 , CO and/or C0 2 .
- the published application does not focus on the cracking of reduced crude feedstocks high in metal contaminants and of high Ramsbottom carbon values, the metals content of the catalyst, and more particularly the desirability of maintaining finite but extremely short contact times between the regenerated catalyst particles and the lift gas sufficient to reduce the metal oxide contaminants to a lower oxidation state, or to the elemental metal, but without significant deposit of carbon on the catalyst prior to contact with the feedstock.
- the present invention employes a particular dry gas composition in combination with a cooling fluid as the lift gas to form an upflowing desired high temperature regenerated catalyst suspension which optimizes the product selectivity obtainable of a given hydrocarbon feed, particularly of reduced crudes high in metal contaminants, and high Ramsbottom carbon values.
- gasoline and other liquid hydrocarbon fuels boil in the range of 38°C to 343°C (100°F to 650°F); however, the crude oil from which these fuels are made is a diverse mixture of hydrocarbons and other compounds which vary widely in molecular weight and therefore boil over a wider range.
- crude oils are known in which 30% to 60% or more of the total volume is composed of compounds boiling at temperatures above 343°C (650°F).
- 650°F Among these cudes are crudes in which from 10% to 30% or more of the total volume consists of compounds having boiling points above 552°C (1025°F) at atmospheric pressure.
- the Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) process was developed for cracking or breaking the molecules of high molecular weight, high boiling compounds into smaller molecules which boil over an appropriate boiling range.
- FCC Fluid Catalytic Cracking
- the FCC process has reached a highly advanced state, and many modified forms and variations have been developed, their unifying factor is that a vaporized hydrocarbon feedstock which contains high molecular weight, high boiling components is caused to crack at an elevated temperature in contact with a cracking catalyst that is suspended in the feedstock vapors.
- the catalyst is separated from the desired products.
- the present invention is primarily concerned with using hydrocarbon feedstocks which have Ramsbottom carbon values which exhibit a substantially greater potential for coke formation than does the usual FCC feedstock.
- Ramsbottom carbon values of the order of about 0.1 to about 1.0 are regarded as indicative of acceptable feed.
- Conventional FCC practice has employed as feedstock those fractions of crude oil which boil in the range 343°C to 538°C (650°F to 1000°F), and which are relatively free of coke precursors and heavy metal contaminants.
- VGO vacuum gas oil
- the various heavy metals in carbometallic oil are not of equal catalyst poisoning activity, it is convenient to express the poisoning activity of an oil containing a given poisoning metal or metals in terms of the amount of a single metal which is estimated to have equivalent poisoning activity.
- the heavy metals content of an oil can be expressed by the following formula (patterned after that of W.L. Nelson in Oil and Gas Journal, page 143, October 23, 1961) in which the content of each metal present is expressed in parts per million of such metal, as metal, on a weight basis, based on the weight of feed.
- the above formula can also be employed as a measure of the accumulation of heavy metals on the cracking catalyst, except that the quantity of metal employed in the formula is based on the weight of catalyst (moisture free basis) instead of the weight of feed.
- the present invention is concerned with the processing of feedstocks containing heavy metals substantially in excess of that in conventional FCC processing, and which therefore have potential for accumulating on and poisoning the catalyst.
- the present invention is notable in providing a simple, relatively straightforward and highly productive approach to the conversion of oil feeds to various lighter products, such as gasoline, from crude oils and reduced crude oil fractions boiling above about 343°C (650°F) and having heavy metals content of at least 4, preferably at least 5, and, most preferably at least about 5.5 calculated as Nickel Equivalents and having carbon residues on pyrolysis of at least 1% and more preferably at least 2% by weight.
- feedstocks are cracked catalytically using a hydrogen rich dry lift gas of limited C 3 plus content and a regenerated catalyst in which the heavy metal content is maintained in a specific range of up to 20,000 ppm Ni + V.
- the present invention is concerned with using a dry gas stream as the lift gas for the hot regenerated catalyst particles, possibly in conjunction with one or more cooling fluids such as steam, water and combinations thereof to adjust the temperature thereof to a value suitable for effecting the catalytic cracking of the hydrocarbon feed, the lift gas stream comprising less than 10 vol.% of C 3 plus hydrocarbons (i.e. containing 3 or more carbon atoms) and hydrogen in an amount of at least 10 vol.%.
- a hydrogen containing dry gas stream is readily available, and may readily be recovered from one or more downstream operations of the refinery process.
- the catalyst employed in the catalytic cracking operation of the present invention may be any crystalline zeolite cracking catalyst known in the prior art and comprising rare earth and/or hydrogen ions in the crystal structure of the zeolote.
- the zeolite is dispersed in a siliceous-clay matrix material which may or may not provide some cracking activity.
- the matrix may be selected from silica-alumina, silica-zirconium or silica-chromium promoted with one or more metal additives which are effective in passivating accumulated metal contaminants. Suitable additives which may be used include rare earth metals providing excess lanthanum, and compounds of antimony and titanium.
- the cracking catalyst employed in the invention may comprise the active crystalline zeolite component in an amount less than about 40 wt.% and more usually in an amount within the range of 5 to 20 wt.%
- Suitable catalysts are disclosed in US-A-4,440,868 and US-A-4,435,515.
- a particularly preferred class of catalysts includes those that are capable of activating hydrogen and that have pore structures into which molecules of feed may enter for adsorption and/or for contact with active catalytic sites within or adjacent the pores.
- Various types of catalysts are available within this classification, including for example the layered silicates, e.g. smectites.
- the zeolite-containing catalysts used in the present invention may include any zeolite, whether natural, semi-synthetic or synthetic, alone or in admixture with other materials which do not significantly impair the suitability of the catalyst, provided the resultant catalyst has the activity and pore structure referred to below.
- the catalyst may include the zeolite component associated with or dispersed in a porous refractory inorganic oxide carrier; in such case the catalyst may for example contain about 1% to about 60%, more preferably about 1 % to about 40%, and most typically about 5% to about 40% by weight of the zeolite dispersed in the carriers, based on the total weight of catalyst (water free basis) of the porous refractory inorganic oxide alone or in combination with any of the known adjuvants for promoting or supres- sing various desired and undesired reactions, some of which are discussed below.
- catalysts having an overall particle size in the range 5 to 160 microns, more preferably 40 to 120 microns, and containing a proportionately major amount in the 40 to 80 microns range.
- a catalyst initially having a relatively high level of cracking activity and selectivity, and providing high levels of conversion and productivity at low residence times may be expressed in terms of the conversion produced during actual operation or by standard catalyst activity test. (See the classical Shankland and Schmitkons "Determination of Activity and Selectivity of Cracking Catalyst", Proc. API 27 (III), 1947, pp. 57-77).
- catalysts which, in the course of extended operation in the process, are sufficiently active for sustaining a level of conversion of at least about 50% or more preferably at least about 60%. In this connection, conversion is expressed in liquid volume percent, based on fresh feed.
- the preferred catalyst may also be defined as one which, in its virgin or equilibrium stated, exhibits a specified activity expressed as a volume percentage derived by the MAT (micro- activity test).
- MAT micro- activity test
- the preferred catalysts When characterized on the basis of MAT activity, the preferred catalysts may be described on the basis of their MAT activity "as introduced” into the process of the present invention, or on the basis of their “as withdrawn” or equilibrium MAT activity, or on both of these bases.
- a preferred MAT activity for virgin and non-virgin catalyst "as introduced" in the process of the present invention is at least about 60%, but it will be appreciated that, particularly in the case of non-virgin catalysts supplied at high addition rates, lower MAT activity levels may be acceptable.
- An acceptable equilibrium MAT activity level of catalyst which has been used in the process of the present invention is about 20%, preferably at least about 40%, or more preferably about 60% or more are preferred values.
- the weight ratio of catalyst to fresh feed (feed which has not previously been exposed to cracking catalyst under cracking conditions) used in the present invention is in the range of about 3 to 18.
- Preferred ratios may be about 4 to 12, depending on the coke forming tendencies of the feed.
- controlling the catalyst to oil ratio at relatively low levels within the aforesaid ranges tends to reduce the coke yield of the oil, based on fresh feed.
- Catalyst may be added continuously or periodically, such as, for example, to make up for normal losses of catalyst from the system. Moreover, catalyst addition may be conducted in conjunction with withdrawal of catalyst, such as, for example, to maintain or increase the average activity level of the catalyst in the unit or to maintain a constant amount of metal on catalyst.
- the rate at which virgin catalyst is added to the unit may be in the range of about 0.285 kilograms per m 3 of feed (0.1 to about 3 Ib/ bbl) to about 8.55 kilograms per m 3 of feed or more (about 0.03 to 1 wt.% of the feedstock, or more), depending on the metal content in the feed, and the level of metal allowed to reside on the equilibrium catalyst. If, on the other hand, equilibrium catalyst is employed, a replacement rate as high as about 14.25 kilograms per m 3 of feed (about 5 pounds per barrel) or more can be practiced. Where circumstances are such that the conditions in the unit tend to promote more rapid deactivation, one may employ rates of addition greater than those stated above; but in the opposite circumstances, lower rates of addition may be employed.
- the invention may be practiced with catalyst bearing accumulations of heavy metals which heretofore would have been considered quite intolerable in conventional fluid catalytic cracking (FCC), vacuum gas oil (VGO) operations.
- FCC fluid catalytic cracking
- VGO vacuum gas oil
- the foregoing ranges are based on parts per million of heavy metal, including nickel, vanadium, incremental iron (that additional iron accumulated while being used) and copper, in which the metals are expressed as metal, by weight, and based on regenerated equilibrium catalyst, i.e. previously used catalyst.
- equilibrium catalysts from another unit for example, an FCC unit, which has been used in the cracking of vacuum gas oil, having a carbon residue on pryolysis of less than 1% and containing less than about 4 Nickel Equivalents of heavy metals.
- the catalyst composition may also include one or more combustion promoters which are useful in the subsequent step of regenerating the catalyst.
- combustion promoters which are useful in the subsequent step of regenerating the catalyst.
- coke is burned off in a regeneration step, in which coke is converted to combustion gases including carbon monoxide and/or carbon dioxide.
- Various substances e.g. Pt, Pd, rare earths, are known which, when incorporated into a cracking catalyst in small quantities (or added with the feedstock), tend to promote conversion of coke to carbon monoxide and/or carbon dioxide. Promoters of combustion to carbon monoxide tend to lower the temperature at which a given degree of coke removal can be attained, thus diminishing the potential for thermal deactivation of the catalyst.
- Such promoters normally used in effective amounts ranging from a trace up to about 10% to 20% by weight of catalyst, may, for example, be of any type which generally promotes combustion of carbon under regenerating conditions.
- the amount of additional materials which may be present in the feed may be varied as desired; but said amount will preferably be sufficient to substantially heat balance the process.
- These materials may for example be introduced into the reaction zone in a weight ratio relative to feed of up to about 0.4, preferably in the range of about 0.02 to about 0.4, more preferably about 0.03 to about 0.3 and most preferably about 0.05 to about 0.25.
- a preferred embodiment is to have hydrogen silfide dissolved therein within the above ranges, based on the total amount of feed. Alternately, about 500 ppm to about 5,000 ppm of hydrogen sulfide should be dissolved in the recycled liquid water. Hydrogen sulfide gas, in the above weight ratio ranges, may also be added as the additional material instead of hydrogen sulfide dissolved in recycled liquid water.
- the process of the present invention employs ballistic separation of catalyst and vapours at the downstream of a progressive flow type riser, such as is taught in US-A-4,066,533 and US-A-4,070,159 to which reference should be made for further details.
- the catalyst riser residence time may or may not be the same as that of the vapour.
- the ratio of average catalyst reactor residence time versus vapour reactor residence time i.e. slippage, may be in the range of about 1 to about 5, more preferably about 1 to about 4, and most preferably about 1.1 to about 3, with about 1.2 to about 2 being the preferred range.
- vapour riser residence time and vapour-catalyst contact time in the riser are substantially the same for at least about 80% of the riser length.
- Regeneration of catalyst may be performed at a temperature in the range 593°C to 871°C (1100°F to 1600°F), measured at the catalyst regenerator outlet. More usually this temperature will be in the range 649°C to 816°C (1200°F to 1500°F), more preferably in the range 677°C to 774°C (1250°F to 1425°F) and optimally from 704°C to 760°C (1300°F to 1400°F).
- a stripper which are sufficient to reduce potentially volatile hydrocarbon material borne by the stripped catalyst to about 10% or less by weight carried to the regenerator.
- stripping may for example include reheating of the catalyst, extensive stripping with steam, the use of gases having a temperature considered higher than normal for FCCNGO operations, such as for instance flue gas from the regenerator, as well as other refinery stream gases such as hydrotreater off-gas (H 2 S containing), hydrogen and others.
- the stripper may be operated at a temperature above about 482°C (900°F). Stripping operations in which the temperature of the spent catalyst is raised to higher temperatures is also within the scope of the present invention.
- coke should be understood to include any residual unvapourized feed or hydrocarbonaceous material present on the catalyst after stripping thereof.
- the substantial levels of conversion accomplished by the process of the present invention result in relatively large yields of coke, such as for example about 4% to about 17% by weight based on fresh feed, more commonly about 6% to about 14% and most frequently about 6 06% to about 12%.
- the result ant coke laydown may be in excess of about 0.3%, more commonly in excess of about 0.5% and very frequently in excess of about 1% of coke by weight, based on the weight of moisture free virgin or regenerated catalyst.
- Such coke laydown may range as high as about 2%, or about 3%, or even higher, although coke in the range of 0.5 to about 1.5% is more commonly experienced.
- the sub-process of regeneration may be carried out to the abovementioned low levels of coke on regenerated catalyst with oxygen supplied to the one or more stages of regeneration in the stoichiometric amount required to burn all hydrogen in the coke ot H 2 0 and to burn all carbon in the coke to CO and/or C 2 and to burn all sulfur in the coke to S0 2 .
- the coke includes other combustibles, the aforementioned stoichiometric amount can be adjusted to include the amount of oxygen required to burn them.
- Multi-stage regeneration offers the technique of combining oxygen deficient regeneration with control of the CO:CO 2 molar ratio and still provide means by which coke on catalyst is reduced preferably to 0.05% or lower. Thus, about 65% to about 80% by weight of the coke on the catalyst is removed in a first stage of regeneration in which the molar ratio of CO:C0 2 is controlled.
- the last weight percent of the coke originally present up to the entire amount of coke remaining after the preceding stage can be removed in a subsequent stage of regeneration in which more oxygen is present.
- a particularly preferred embodiment of the present invention is two stage catalyst regeneration at a maximum temperature of about 816°C (1500°F) but preferably not above 760°C (1400°F).
- the second stage temperature is the same or lower than the first stage, with reduction of carbon on catalyst to about 0.05% or less or even about 0.025% or less by weight in the second zone.
- catalyst can readily be regenerated to carbon levels as low as 0.01% by this technique, even though the carbon on catalyst prior to regeneration is as much as about 1% or greater.
- Still another particularly preferred technique for controlling or restricting the regeneration heat imparted to fresh feed via recycled catalyst involves the diversion of a portion of the heat borne by recycled catalyst to additional material, discussed herein.
- the catalyst discharged from the regenerator is stripped with appropriate stripping gases to remove oxygen containing gases.
- stripping may for instance be conducted at relatively high temperatures, using steam nitrogen or inert gas(es) as the stripping gas.
- nitrogen or other inert gases is beneficial from the standpoint of avoiding a tendency toward hydrothermal catalyst deactivation which may result from the use of steam.
- the present invention is primarily applicable to the catalytic conversion of heavy residual oil feeds, including vacuum bottoms and portions thereof which have been subjected to a previous partial hydrogenation operation to remove sulfur and nitrogen compounds, and which contain heavy metal contamination and high Ramsbottom carbon values
- the invention may also be applied to lighter gas oil feeds and heavy crude oil feeds which have been partially decarbonized and demetallized by contact with a sorbent material under thermal visbreaking conditions in the presence of a diluent with or without the presence of hydrogen.
- the sorbent material employed in the visbreaking operation may be relatively inert or of such low catalytic activity that it is no longer suitable for use in a catalytic cracking operation.
- the process of the present invention will be applicable to operation of the type disclosed in US-A-4,434,044 to which reference should be made.
- the conditions employed in the catalytic cracking operation of this invention i.e. in the riser, will vary depending upon the composition and boiling range of the oil feed charged.
- the regenerated catalyst charged to the riser will be at a temperature in the range 649°C to 816°C (1200°F to 1500°F) and more usually in the range 704°C to 760°C (1300°F to 1400°F).
- the catalyst to oil ratio and hydrocarbon feed partial pressure will vary with the feed boiling range and volume of gaseous diluent used so that vapourous hydrocarbon conversion products comprising suspended cracking catalyst, lift gas and feed atomizing diluent material will be discharged from the riser at a temperature in the range 482°C to 593°C (900°F to 1100°F) and more usually in the range 510°C to 566°C (950°F to 1050°F).
- the apparatus shown in Figure V of that Patent comprising a riser catalytic cracking zone adjacent to a sequence of two stage catalyst regeneration providing for cooling of catalyst passed from said first stage to said second stage of catalyst regeneration, is preferably modified to incorporate a riser reactor of larger diameter in an upper portion than in a lower portion thereof with the oil feed to be cracked being charged to a downstream section of the riser comprising the larger diameter poriton thereof.
- a riser reactor of larger diameter in an upper portion than in a lower portion thereof with the oil feed to be cracked being charged to a downstream section of the riser comprising the larger diameter poriton thereof.
- Figure 2 compares the C 5 to 221°C (430°F) gasoline yield using the dry lift gas and the wet lift gas. It is significant to note from this Figure that the use of dry gas as a lift gas provided higher yield of gasoline product than was obtained when using the wet gas as a lift gas. Thus the gasoline product selectivity is considerably improved.
- Figure 3 compares the gasoline selectivity obtained when using the dry lift gas and the wet lift gas.
- Figure 4 is a further plot of the experimental data obtained showing the coke production obtained when converting a residual oil to 221°C (430°F) minus product in the presence of catalyst initially contacted dry or wet lift gas as the case may be. It will be observed from the plot of Figure 4 that the use of a hydrogen rich wet recycle gas comprising C 4 and C 5 hydrocarbons in substantial amounts produced considerably more coke in the catalyst than was obtained when using a hydrogen rich dry recycle gas. The high coke deposition contributes to obtaining high catalyst regeneration temperatures exceeding 760°C (1400°F).
- Figure 5 shows the reduced amount of C 2 - minus by product obtained using the dry lift gas as opposed to the wet lift gas.
- the lift gas comprises a significant quantity of C 3 plus material comprising C s hydrocarbons which are cracked to deposit coke on the hot freshly regenerated catalyst prior to contact with the residual oil feed
- a signficant reduction occurs in the catalyst cracking activity and selectivity and this contributes to a resultant loss in C 5 plus gasoline product material evaluated to amount to at least 3 to 5 vol.% of desired gasoline forming product material.
- the regenerated catalyst should be reduced to a residual coke level of at least 0.10 wt.% and preferably to at least 0.05 wt.%.
- the formed catalyst suspension with dry gas and comprising hydrogen prior to contact with the oil feed to be converted should be restricted to a coke level not to exceed about 0.25 wt.% and preferably should not be above about 0.15 wt.% to reap the significant benefits herein identified.
- the process of the present invention is applicable to a fluidized catalytic cracking operation of the type disclosed in US-A-4,434,044 and using apparatus of the type disclosed therein and comprising a verticaly oriented riser and an adjacent catalyst regeneration recovery system.
- FIG. 6 This comprises a riser reactor 1 with an expanding transition section in an upper portion thereof which terminates in a larger diameter portion 2 of the riser there above. Conversion of the charged oil feed such as a residual oil feed by one of 5, 7 or 9 feed inlets is particularly effective.
- the expanded or larger diameter portion of the riser 2 is provided with a plurality of feed inlet nozzles means 6 adjacent the upper edge of the transition section which are used in a preferred embodiment to charge the oil feed.
- the vertically spaced apart feed inlet means 5, 7 and 9 provides the operator considerably more latitude in feed contact time with the dry gas-catalyst suspension within the riser reactor before separation of a resultant formed suspension of hydrocarbon product vapours, catalyst and lift gas available as herein discussed.
- the riser 1-2 configuration of Figure 6 permits achieving relatively high temperature zeolite catalytic upgrading of an oil feed charged to a bottom, intermediate or upper portion of the riser conversion zone but downstream of the formed dry gas-regenerated catalyst suspension to restrict the oil feed contact time with catalyst within the range of a fraction of a second up to 1, 2 or even 3 seconds contact time.
- the hot regenerated catalyst at a temperature within the range of 649°C (1200°F) to 816°C (1500°F) is intially mixed with a dry lift gas or fluidizing gas as herein provided with the addition of steam and/or water as heat sink material to form an upflowing suspension in the restricted diameter portion thereof at a temperature suitable for effecting catalytic cracking of a downstream charged residual oil feed as by 7 or 9.
- feed inlet means 5,7 and 9 with diluent inlets 6, 8 and 10 permit a substantial variation in feed atomization and partial pressure and contact time as above identified between oil feed and the dry gas-steam suspended catalyst particles.
- a bottom portion of the riser reactor permits adjustment of the regenerated catalyst temperature by the addition of steam and/or water as a heat sink along with the dry lift gas of a composition particularly identified herein.
- the contact time between a residual oil feed and catalyst in the riser depending on feed composition and source will be restricted to within the range of 0.5 to about 2 or 3 seconds when contacting an oil feed with catalyst at a temperature in the range of 704°C (1300°F) to 760°C (1400°F) to provide a riser outlet temperature within the range of 510°C (950°F) to 593°C (1100°F) and more usually not above 566°C (1050°F).
- the riser reactor may be substantially any desired vertical length which will be compatible with the adjacent catalyst regeneration apparatus whether of single or multiple sages of regeneration as shown, catalyst stripping and catalyst transfer conduit means essential to the combination.
- riser 2 passes upwardly through a stripping zone 6 to form an annular stripping zone therewith into an upper portion of a larger diameter catalyst disengaging zone in open communication with the annular stripping zone 16.
- Stripping gas such as steam or other suitable gas is charged to a bottom portion of the stripping zone by conduit 17 for flow upwardly therethrough and counter-current to downflowing catalyst particles.
- the stripped catalyst is then passed by conduit 19 to catalyst regeneration shown as a sequence of catalyst beds 20 and 36 being regenerated in separate zones to remove carbonaceous deposits of conversion by combustion without exceeding an elevated temperature below about 816°C (1500°F) and preferably restricted to within the range of about 649°C (1200°F) to 816°C (1500°F) and more usually within the range of 704°C (1300°F) to 760°C (1400°F)
- An important aspect of the riser system is the method and means for separating the upwardly flowing suspension at the riser upper open end. That is, the suspension of hydrocarbon vapours, catalyst, lift gas and steam is discharged from the upper open end of the riser at a velocity which will impart a great er momentum to the particles of catalyst than to that imparted to the vapourous constituents whereby an upwardly flowing trajectory is established which separates catalyst particles from vaporous material.
- the vaporous material mixture often referred to as gasiform material in the prior art, passes into an annular cup 11 withdrawal passageway open in the top thereof and thence through radiating conduit means in open communication with cyclone separation means 12 on the other end of each of said radiating conduits.
- Vapors separated from entrained catalyst fines in cyclones 12 are recovered by conduits communicating with plenum chanber 13 and product withdrawal conduit 14 for passage to product fractionation and separation in means not shown.
- Catalyst fines separated in cyclones 12 are removed by diplegs for passage to catalyst stripping and regeneration discussed below.
