Abstract: A fluidized process which comprises contacting a hydrocarbon feedstock with a fluidized particulate solid in a contacting zone wherein carbonaceous deposits accumulate on the solid and the solid becomes spent and wherein the carbonaceous deposits are burned from the spent solid to produce a regenerated solid; removing a stream of the fluidized spent solid and entrained hydrocarbons from the contacting zone; introducing the fluidized spent solid/entrained hydrocarbon stream and a stream of hot regenerated solid into a lower portion of a zone; introducing a stream of a fluid stripping medium, e.
Abstract: A process wherein a fluidized particulate solid is contacted with a hydrocarbon feedstock in a vertically extending contacting zone, which process comprises introducing a stream of the particulate solid into the contacting zone and introducing a plurality of streams of liquid hydrocarbon feedstock into the contacting zone to intimately contact the particulate solid therein, the plurality of streams each being introduced into the contacting zone from one of a plurality of nozzles spaced apart in the contacting zone, and each stream having a flow path extending into the contacting zone and a flow pattern having a thickness which is substantially constant and a width which diverges from the point of introduction into the contacting zone.
Abstract: A fluidized solid process for upgrading or converting a hydrocarbon feedstock wherein carbonaceous deposits accumulate on a particulate fluidized solid and are burned in a regenerator to regenerate the solid, the regenerated solid and entrained combustion products are introduced into a vertical lift pipe, a fluid lift medium is introduced into the lift pipe and the regenerated solid is separated from the lift medium and combustion products to improve the quality of the regenerated solid contacted with the hydrocarbon feedstock.
