Multistage integrated process for upgrading olefins

Patent ·
OSTI ID:5184551
This patent describes a continuous multi-stage process for increasing octane quality and yield of liquid hydrocarbons from an integrated fluidized catalytic cracking unit and olefins oligomerization reaction zone. It comprises: contacting heavy hydrocarbon feedstock in a primary fluidized bed reaction stage with cracking catalyst comprising particulate solid large pore acid aluminosilicate zeolite catalyst at conversion conditions to produce a hydrocarbon effluent comprising gas containing C{sub 2}-C{sub 6} olefins intermediate hydrocarbons in the gasoline and distillate range, and cracked bottoms; regenerating the primary stage zeolite cracking catalyst in a primary stage regeneration zone and returning at least a portion of the resulting regenerated zeolite cracking catalyst to the primary reaction stage; withdrawing another portion of the catalyst from the regeneration zone and adding fresh makeup catalyst thereto separating primary stage effluent to recover olefinic gas containing C{sub 2}-C{sub 6} olefins; reacting at least a portion of the olefinic gas in a secondary fluidized bed reactor stage in contact with a closed fluidized bed of acid zeolite catalyst particles.
