  • Catalytic cracking with quenching
    Patent number: 5626741
    Abstract: A catalytic cracking process is disclosed in which cracking is performed in a riser reactor, catalytically cracked product is substantially separated from the catalyst in a gross-cut separator downstream of the riser reactor, and the cracked product is quenched with an anhydrous quench liquid at a location immediately downstream of the oil outlet of the gross-cut separator.

  • In-line cyclone separator and method of solid/gas separation
    Patent number: 5262046
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for separating solids from a mixture of solids and gases. An in-line cyclone separator cyclonically swirls the mixture as it exits a conduit concentrically located within a radially symmetric separation chamber. In some embodiments, stripping gas apertures direct stripping gas into the chamber to help maintain the angular momentum of the solids cyclonically swirling within the chamber.

  • Quenching downstream of an external vapor catalyst separator
    Patent number: 5043058
    Abstract: Effective quenching is provided in a catalytic cracking process to increase product yield and decrease thermal cracking. To this end, the quench is injected at special locations and a special quench is used. In the illustrated embodiment, the quench is injected into the oil product immediately downstream of an external gross cut separator before the product enters a disengaging vessel and the quench comprises cycle oil.
