  • Patent number: 8957267
    Abstract: The invention concerns a process for the production of gasoline and for the co-production of propylene using a catalytic cracking unit comprising a catalyst regeneration zone and a reaction zone with two risers functioning in parallel under different severity conditions, the catalyst circulating between the regeneration zone and the reaction zone in two parallel circuits, a circuit termed the principal circuit comprising a first external catalyst cooling system, and a circuit termed the secondary circuit comprising a second external catalyst cooling system.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8920632
    Abstract: The present invention describes a process for the production of gasoline and for the co-production of propylene employing a catalytic cracking unit having at least one principal reactor operating in riser mode or in downer mode, processing a conventional heavy feed, and in which the principal reactor further processes a feed primarily constituted by olefinic C4, C5 and C6 cuts introduced upstream or as a mixture with said heavy feed, said olefinic feed deriving from the inter-stage of the wet gas compressor, i.e. upstream of the separation section of the catalytic cracking unit.

  • Publication number: 20140353211
    Abstract: This invention describes a process for mild hydrocracking of heavy hydrocarbon fractions of the vacuum distillate type or the deasphalted oil type with optimized thermal integration for the purpose of reducing the cost of the exchangers that are used as well as greenhouse gas emissions.

  • Patent number: 8784760
    Abstract: The invention describes an integrated process for capturing CO2 emitted by at least a portion of the flue gas coming from the regeneration zone of a catalytic cracking unit using a unit for amine treatment of said flue gas, in which the catalytic cracking unit is equipped with an external exchanger using as the hot fluid a portion of the catalyst removed from the regeneration zone, the heat necessary for the amine treatment unit being supplied integrally by the catalytic cracking unit using the steam generated by said external exchanger.

  • Publication number: 20130281749
    Abstract: The present invention describes a process for the conversion of a heavy feed which can be used to improve the selectivity for middle distillate. The process employs a catalytic cracking unit followed by one or more units for the oligomerization of C2 to C9 olefins which can preferentially produce an additional cut termed the middle distillate. The light portion of the oligomerate produced which cannot be incorporated into the middle distillate cut is recycled to the FCC unit for cracking into light olefins which are returned to the oligomerization units as a supplement to the olefins of the feed in order to preferentially form heavy oligomerates which can be incorporated into the middle distillate cut.

  • Patent number: 8551324
    Abstract: The present invention describes a process for the production of gasoline in a fluid catalytic cracking unit having at least one principal reactor operating using feeds with a low Conradson Carbon and a high hydrogen content, said process comprising recycling a coking cut either to a side chamber branching off the stripper or within the stripper itself by means of a tubular vessel within said stripper.
