Multiple zone catalytic cracking of hydrocarbons

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6929278
This patent describes a method of cracking a heavy hydrocarbon feedstock and a light hydrocarbon feedstock in a riser reactor, the method producing spent catalyst and regenerated catalyst, the spent and regeneration catalyst comprising a large pore size aluminosilicate zeolite cracking catalyst selected form zeolite Y or USY. It comprises: contacting the light hydrocarbon feedstock with spent catalyst at an initial contact location in the riser; passing a suspension comprising the light hydrocarbon feedstock and the spent catalyst through the riser; introducing the heavy hydrocarbon feedstock into the suspension at a second location downstream of the initial contact location; and introducing the regenerated catalyst into the suspension at a location in the riser downstream of the initial contact location.
