  • Patent number: 8088335
    Abstract: A conversion apparatus for catalytic cracking a hydrocarbon feed to light hydrocarbon comprises at least one riser reactor, a dense bed reactor, a disengager, and a stripper. A dense bed reactor which is separated from disengage, is employed to enforce further cracking hydrocarbon to light olefins, with low methane yield. Moreover, the spent catalysts discharged from the outlet of the dense bed reactor can be introduced into the stripper via a specific catalyst transporting channel, to maintain catalyst concentration in the dense bed reactor that can be advantageous to deeper cracking of the intermediate products to produce more light olefins, particularly propylene.

A inferior feedstock is introduced into first and second reactor zone, wherein the feedstock carry out first step and second step reactions by contacting with catalytic conversion catalyst. Product vapors separate from spent catalyst by gas-solid separation. The spent catalyst is stripped, regenerated by burning off coke and then returns to reactor. The product vapors are introduced into separation system to obtain propylene, gasoline, diesel, fluid catalytic cracking gas oil (FGO) and other products. The FGO is introduced into hydrotreating unit and/or extraction unit to obtain hydrotreated FGO and/or extracted FGO. Said hyrotreated FGO and/or extracted FGO return to the first reactor zone and/or another catalytic cracking unit to obtain propylene and gasoline.
