Commercial tests on Filtrol Corp.'s octane-improving catalyst, FOC-90 (U.S. 4,085,069), in combination with a carbon monoxide combustion promoter showed a 74.0Vertical Bar3< by vol conversion, and yields of 63.1Vertical Bar3< by vol of C/sub 5/ plus gasoline having 91.9 and 80.6 Research and Motor octane numbers clear, 15.9Vertical Bar3< by vol of light cycle oil, and 3.6Vertical Bar3< by wt of coke during the processing of 24,000 bbl/day of raw oil at 965/sup 0/F reactor temperature, 1270/sup 0/-1280/sup 0/F regenerator temperature, and a 6.2:1 catalyst-oil ratio. Gas yields were lower than those from conventional processes; the carbon dioxide/carbon monoxide ratio was 11.4:1. Regenerated catalyst contained 0.06Vertical Bar3< by wt of carbon, and the catalyst loss rate was 0.06-0.15 lb/bbl; the presence of 570 ppm of nickel and 1410 ppm of vanadium on the catalyst caused only a slight increase in hydrogen and methane yields. Also discussed are the high attrition index, surface area, and pore volume of the grade FS-30 catalyst; the Mobil Oil Corp. catalyst containing a promoter to reduce carbon monoxide emissions.
