Catalytic cracking of whole crude oil
Patent
·
OSTI ID:5335773
This patent describes a catalyst cracking process. The process comprising the steps of: substantially desalting petroleum comprising crude oil; flashing and separating the desalted crude oil in a flash drum into a flashed overhead stream and a flashed bottom stream; feeding the flashed bottom stream to a catalytic cracking unit comprising a regenerator and at least one catalytic cracking rector selected from the group consisting of a riser reactor and a fluidized bed reactor, in the absence of previously fractionating the petroleum in a fractionator selected from the group consisting of a pipestill, crude unit, an atmospheric tower, and a vacuum tower; substantially cracking the flashed bottom stream in the catalytic cracking reactor in the presence of a cracking catalyst to form a cracked effluent stream; passing the cracked effluent stream from the catalytic cracking reactor and the flashed overhead stream from the flash drum in a fractionator; fractionating the cracked effluent stream from the catalytic cracking reactor and the flashed overhead stream from the flash drum in the fractionator; regenerating the catalyst in a regenerator; and recycling the regenerated catalyst to the catalytic cracking reactor.
