    摘要: According to one or more embodiments, a method for forming light olefins may comprise introducing a hydrocarbon feed stream into a reactor, reacting the hydrocarbon feed stream with a dehydrogenation catalyst in the reactor to form a high temperature dehydrogenated product, separating at least a portion of the dehydrogenation catalyst from the high temperature dehydrogenated product in a primary separation device, combining the high temperature dehydrogenation product with a quench stream to cool the high temperature dehydrogenation product and form an intermediate temperature dehydrogenation product, and cooling the intermediate temperature dehydrogenation product to form a cooled dehydrogenation product.

    摘要: According to one or more embodiments presently disclosed, a method for processing a chemical stream may include contacting a feed stream with a catalyst in a reactor portion of a reactor system that includes a reactor portion and a catalyst processing portion. Contacting the feed stream with the catalyst may cause a reaction forming an effluent. The method may include separating the effluent stream from the catalyst, passing the catalyst to the catalyst processing portion, and processing the catalyst in the catalyst processing portion. Processing the catalyst may include passing the catalyst to a combustor, combusting a supplemental fuel stream in the combustor to heat the catalyst, and treating the heated catalyst with an oxygen-containing gas. The supplemental fuel stream may include at least 1 mol % of one or more hydrocarbons, and a weight ratio of catalyst to hydrocarbons in the combustor may be at least 300:1.

    摘要: According to one or more embodiments disclosed herein, methods for operating dehydrogenation processes during non-normal operating conditions, such as at start-up, shut-down, system recycle, or unit trip, are described. The methods may include contacting a feed stream with a catalyst in a reactor portion of a reactor system to form a reactor effluent stream, separating at least a portion of the reactor effluent stream from the catalyst, passing the catalyst to a catalyst processing portion and processing the catalyst, wherein processing the catalyst comprises contacting the catalyst with oxygen, passing the catalyst from the processing portion to the reactor portion, wherein the catalyst exiting the processing portion comprises at least 0.001 wt. % oxygen, and contacting the catalyst with supplemental hydrogen, the contacting removing at least a portion of the oxygen from the catalyst by a combustion reaction.

    摘要: A process for commencing a continuous reaction in a reactor system includes introducing a catalyst to a catalyst processing portion of the reactor system, the catalyst initially having a first temperature of 500 C or less, and contacting the catalyst at the first temperature with a commencement fuel gas stream, which includes at least 80 mol % commencement fuel gas, in the catalyst processing portion. Contacting of the catalyst with the commencement fuel gas stream causes combustion of the commencement fuel gas. The process includes maintaining the contacting of the catalyst with the commencement fuel gas stream until the temperature of the catalyst increases from the first temperature to a second temperature at which combustion of a regenerator fuel source maintains an operating temperature range in the catalyst processing portion.

    摘要: According to one or more embodiments presently disclosed, light olefins may be formed by a method that may comprise introducing a feed stream into a reactor, reacting the feed stream with a cracking catalyst in the reactor to form a product stream, and processing the cracking catalyst. The reactor may comprise an upstream reactor section and a downstream reactor section. The upstream reactor section may be positioned below the downstream reactor section. The upstream reactor section may have an average cross-sectional area that is at least 150% of the average cross-sectional area of the downstream reactor section.
