摘要： An FCC process and apparatus comprising an enlarged riser section and a distributor in an elevated position and with an opening in its tip away from riser walls may reduce coke build-up along the interior walls of a riser. Catalytic mixing may be improved, which could reduce riser coking by increasing hydrocarbon contact with catalyst before contacting the riser wall. Increasing the distance between the introduction of the hydrocarbon and the riser wall may increase this likelihood for hydrocarbon-catalyst contact. Highly contaminated hydrocarbons cause greater coking than do normal hydrocarbons and this FCC process and apparatus may be effective in decreasing riser coking on such heavy hydrocarbons.

摘要： Systems and methods of reducing carbon dioxide emissions in a fluid catalytic cracking unit are disclosed. In one example, the method comprises mixing spent catalyst from the reactor and regenerated catalyst from the regenerator to define a catalyst feed. The method further comprises introducing the catalyst feed in the reactor of the unit to react with a reactor feedstock. The catalyst feed has a reactor pass to regenerator pass ratio of between about 5:1 and 15:1 under gasification conditions in the regenerator, thereby reducing carbon dioxide emissions.

摘要： A third stage separator vessel includes a diffuser to promote uniform flow among an array of separation cyclones in the vessel. The vessel has an inlet to receive a gas stream containing solid particles, and the diffuser is mounted at the inlet so that at least some of the stream passes through the diffuser. In an embodiment, a gap between the diffuser and the inlet causes some of the gas stream to flow over an outer surface of the diffuser. The diffuser preferably includes a perforated plate mounted across a wide end of a frustoconical portion. The plate has a plurality of openings through which the flow passes. The openings in the plate have various sizes and positions to direct a greater amount of flow through radially outward portions of the plate than from a central portion of the plate.

摘要： A novel cyclone is disclosed that is effective for separating, from a contaminated gas stream, solid particulates having diameters as low as 4 to 5 microns. When multiple cyclones of the present invention are affixed between upper and lower tube sheets in a separator device, fine particle removal is possible to the extent required 1) by stringent regulations governing particulate emissions into the atmosphere, or 2) to prevent damage to turbine blades in downstream power recovery equipment. The cyclones are especially relevant to the problem of removing catalyst fines from refinery effluents, most notably fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) regenerator flue gas. The cyclone separation efficiency is enhanced through the use of 1) a uni-directional flow of gas from the contaminated gas inlet to the clean gas outlet and 2) discharge openings on the surface of the cyclone body that allow ejection of solid particulates.

摘要： An FCC feed injection arrangement injects feed transversely from the sides of a restricted opening into a stream of FCC catalyst to provide good feed and catalyst contacting in an arrangement that simplifies external pipe configurations and maintenance of the feed injection system. The invention forms a venturi or restricted opening by forming a generally square opening between two parallel extended chords on opposite sides of the riser. A venturi area may be built out of refractory lining or other abrasion-resistant structures. The invention may use horizontally extended pipes that are tangentially positioned apart from each other across from the restricted opening to provide a simple construction for the feed injection arrangement. The pipes are easily inserted and withdrawn from the riser to permit easy maintenance of the nozzles in the highly erosive environment. Insertable pipe distributors for distributing feed may be arranged to provide good overall distribution while also providing cooling to the outer surface of the distribution conduit to prevent coking. The distribution conduit may also be arranged to provide mixing of oil and steam near the injection point of the nozzles.
