    Abstract: According to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, chemical streams may be processed by a method which may comprise operating a first chemical process, stopping the first chemical process and removing the first catalyst from the reactor, and operating a second chemical process. The reaction of the first chemical process may be a dehydrogenation reaction, a cracking reaction, a dehydration reaction, or a methanol-to-olefin reaction. The reaction of the second chemical process may be a dehydrogenation reaction, a cracking reaction, a dehydration reaction, or a methanol-to-olefin reaction. The first reaction and the second reaction may be different types of reactions.

    Abstract: According to one or more embodiments, a fluid catalytic reactor may include a riser, a lower reactor portion, a transition portion, and a flow director. The riser may include a cross-sectional area, and the lower reactor portion may include a cross-sectional area. The transition portion may attach the riser to the lower reactor portion. The cross-sectional area of the riser may be less than the cross-sectional area of the lower reactor portion such that the transition portion is tapered inward from the lower reactor portion to the riser. The flow director may be positioned at least within an interior region of the transition portion. The flow director may include a body which affects the velocity profile of fluids moving from the lower reactor portion to the riser.

    Abstract: An integrated process, suitable for use in a new or retrofitted plant, produces an olefin or di-olefin via the dehydrogenation of an appropriate C3-C4 hydrocarbon feed includes (1) contacting the feed and a dehydrogenation catalyst having a Geldart A or Geldart B classification in a fluidized bed at a temperature from 550° C. to 760° C. and a pressure from about 41.4 to about 308.2 kPa (about 6.0 to about 44.7 psia) and a catalyst to feed ratio, w/w, from 5 to 100 to form a dehydrogenate product; separating the dehydrogenate product and unreacted starting feed mixture from a portion of the catalyst by means of a cyclonic separation system; reactivating the catalyst in a fluidized regenerator by combustion at 660° C. to 850° C., followed by contact with an oxygen-containing fluid at 660° C. or greater, and returning the catalyst to the dehydrogenation reactor; (2) compressing the product mixture to form a compressed product mixture; and (3) fractionating the compressed product mixture to form a product stream including at least the target olefin or di-olefin. The integrated process offers increased plant capacity, improved economics, and reduced environmental impact in comparison with other known and conventional processes.

    Abstract: A catalyst regenerator for combusting carbonaceous deposits from a catalyst comprising a first chamber which comprises a catalyst inlet for feeding spent catalyst with carbonaceous deposits to said first chamber, a supplemental fuel gas distributor, and a distributor for an oxygen containing gas for distributing oxygen containing gas into said first chamber to contact said spent catalyst and combust carbonaceous deposits and supplemental fuel which further deactivates the spent catalyst and generates flue gas; a riser section extending from said first chamber for transporting the spent catalyst and the flue gas, the riser section comprising an outer wall, at least one slot in the outer wall, and a riser termination device which comprises a substantially internally flat cover plate, at least one arm extending from the cover plate, wherein the arm extends about the slot from the outer wall, the arm comprising an outer shell that encloses the arm and wherein no internal portion of the cover plate extends above an upper surface of the outer shell of the at least one arm is provided. Further provided is a riser termination device.
