Abstract: An integrated process for hydrogenating olefins wherein the hydrogen stream is generated from electrolysis of water is described. Water is derived from a first reaction step wherein a first feed stream comprising oxygenated hydrocarbons is reacted to produce a first reacted product stream comprising olefins and a second reacted product stream comprising water. The second reacted product stream is electrolyzed to produce an electrolyzer product stream comprising hydrogen. Hydrogen is used to hydrogenate olefins. A paraffin stream can be obtained from the hydrogenated effluent.

Abstract: One exemplary embodiment may be a process for fluid catalytic cracking. The process can include providing a stream through a plurality of distributors to a riser terminating in a reaction vessel. Often, the plurality of distributors includes a first distributor set having at least two distributors positioned around a perimeter of the riser, a second distributor set having at least two distributors positioned around the perimeter of the riser, and a third distributor set having at least two distributors positioned around the perimeter of the riser.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for processing hydrocarbons are provided. In one embodiment, a method for processing hydrocarbons includes providing a stream of olefins including normal olefins and non-normal olefins. The method includes separating the normal olefins from the non-normal olefins to form a stream of normal olefins. Further, the method polymerizes the stream of normal olefins to form a stream of polymerized normal olefins. The method also includes saturating the stream of polymerized normal olefins to form a stream of normal paraffins.

Abstract: A process and apparatus are presented for the conversion of light paraffins to heavier liquid fuels or distillate. The process and apparatus includes conversion of a paraffin stream to an olefinic stream. The olefinic stream is passed through a reactor zone to convert the olefins to heavier hydrocarbons, including branched paraffins and branched olefins. The process includes recycling a portion of the product to the reactors for controlling the heat and reaction rate of the dimerization or oligomerization process.

Abstract: Apparatuses and processes are provided for stripping gaseous hydrocarbons from particulate material. One process comprises the step of contacting particles containing hydrocarbons with a stripping vapor in countercurrent flow to remove at least a portion of the hydrocarbons with the stripping vapor to form stripped particles. Contacting the particles includes advancing the particles down a sloping element of a structured packing toward a lower section of the sloping element. The particles are passed through a drainage gap formed between a pair of reinforcing rod sections that are disposed adjacent to the lower section of the sloping element. The particles are contacted with the stripping vapor that is rising up adjacent to the drainage gap.

Abstract: A process and apparatus for mixing streams of regenerated and carbonized catalyst involves passing a catalyst stream into and out of a chamber in a lower section of a riser. The chamber fosters mixing of the catalyst streams to reduce their temperature differential before contacting hydrocarbon feed.

Abstract: A process and catalyst for improving the yield of propylene from residual oil feedstock includes obtaining residual oil feedstock from a vacuum distillation tower. The residual oil feedstock has contaminant metals such as sodium or vanadium. The residual oil feedstock is contacted with a cracking catalyst in a catalytic cracking zone to make products. A ZSM-5 zeolite, a binder, a filler and a metal trap are components of the cracking catalyst. The metal trap has a trapping agent in an outer shell of the catalyst, a trapping agent in the ZSM-5 binder or combinations thereof. After reacting, the cracking catalyst is separated from the products in a separator zone, then regenerated by combusting coke deposited on a surface of the cracking catalyst in an oxygen-containing environment. The cracking catalyst is returned to the catalytic cracking zone. The catalyst with the metal trap is also disclosed.
