This patent describes an improvement in a fluid catalytic cracking process. It is undertaken in the presence of a large pore size zeolite catalyst, in a riser, to upgrade a first volume of a heavy hydrocarbon feedstock to produce gasoline during which upgrade a volume of gaseous products is produced comprising a mixture of C{sub 1} hydrocarbon (methane), C{sub 2} hydrocarbons, selected from the group consisting of, ethylene, and admixtures of ethane and ethylene, and H{sub 2}; wherein the gaseous products are compressed in a compressor of a fixed volume capacity, and then, in turn, conveyed to a gas processing plant; wherein catalyst spent during cracking is conveyed to a regenerator for regeneration and, after regeneration, is conveyed to the riser.
