Title: Coke reduction in catalytic cracking

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6633716

This patent describes a catalytic cracking process, undertaken in the presence of a large pore size zeolite catalyst, in a catalytic cracking zone, to upgrade a heavy hydrocarbon feedstock to produce gasoline, during which upgrade, coke formation on the large pore size zeolite catalyst occurs, wherein the large pore size zeolite catalyst containing the coke during cracking is conveyed to a regenerator for regeneration and, after regeneration, is reduced in coke content and is conveyed to the zone. It comprises: passing a heavy hydrocarbon feed through the zone; increasing the feed conversion in the zone so that the coke produced equals, that coke formation on the large pore zeolite catalyst; and recovering upgraded effluent.
