Abstract: A method of processing the waste stream includes introducing the waste stream into the Fluid Catalytic Cracking Unit 10 such that waste stream is processed within the regenerator unit 12 or in CO boiler unit 13 such that the waste stream and the regenerator flue gas are burned within the regenerator unit 12 or the CO boiler unit 13. The waste stream contains NH3 and the NH3 is converted to the NOx and N2. The fluid catalytic cracking unit may further include an assembly for converting NOx to N2. Flue gas from the CO boiler unit containing NOx and N2 is fed to the assembly to NOx to N2 within the assembly. The assembly for converting NOx to N2 preferably includes a selective catalytic reduction unit 14 containing a catalyst, and wherein converting NOx to N2 includes reacting the NOx with the catalyst to produce N2 and H2O.

Abstract: The removal of particulates and acidic gases from the effluent from a fluid catalytic cracking process regenerator. The effluent is treated in two contacting stages with an effective amount of both a caustic solution as well as ammonia and the composition of the contacting solutions in the two stages is independently controlled.

Abstract: The present invention provides a process for making an olefin product from an oxygenate feedstock which comprises: a) contacting the feedstock in a reaction zone with a catalyst comprising i) a molecular sieve having defined pore openings and ii) a CO oxidation metal, under conditions effective to convert the feedstock into an olefin product stream comprising C2–C3 olefins and to form carbonaceous deposits on the catalyst so as to provide a carbon-containing catalyst; b) contacting at least a portion of the carbon-containing catalyst with a regeneration medium comprising oxygen in a regeneration zone comprising a fluid bed regenerator having a dense fluid phase and a dilute fluid phase under conditions effective to obtain a regenerated catalyst portion, wherein the difference between the temperature of the dilute phase and the temperature of the dense phase is no greater than 100° C.; c) introducing said regenerated catalyst portion into said reaction zone; and d) repeating steps a)–c).

Abstract: A fluid catalytic cracking process for producing relatively low emissions fuels. The feedstock is exceptionally low in nitrogen and aromatics and relatively high in hydrogen and a 345.degree. C.+ products fraction is recycled to the cracking zone. The catalyst is an amorphous silica-alumina or a zeolitic material which is iso-structural to faujasite. The feedstock can be characterized as having less than about 50 wppm nitrogen; greater than about 13 wt. % hydrogen; less than about 7.5 wt. % 2+ ring aromatic cores; and not more than about 15 wt. % aromatic cores overall.
