OSTI ID:5565016

This patent describes an integrated fluidized bed reactor system with catalyst regeneration. It comprises first vertical reactor means for containing a fluidized bed of solid zeolite catalyst under moderate severity reaction conditions; cooling means, receivably connected to a top portion of the first vertical reactor, for cooling reaction effluent therefrom; second vertical reactor means, receivably connected in a bottom portion to the cooling means, for containing a fluidized bed of zeolite catalyst at low severity reaction; catalyst regenerator vessel means, operably connected to both first and second vertical reactor means, for regenerating spent catalyst therefrom in a single regeneration zone and returning regenerated catalyst of the same activity thereto; conduit means for admitting feedstock connected to a bottom portion of the first reactor means; and conduit means for withdrawing a reaction product effluent stream connected to a top portion of the second reactor means.
