  • Patent number: 6939823
    Abstract: A stripper and a stripping process for removing the flue gas carried by regenerated catalyst. A cylindrical stripper mainly comprises a degassing pipe at the longitudinal axis, a horizontal pipe connected with the lower end of the degassing pipe, several sets of inner annular baffles and outer annular baffles arranged in alternative arrangement along the vertical direction. Inner annular baffles are fixed on the degassing pipe, outer annular baffles are fixed on the inner wall of the cylinder. The degassing pipe has holes below each set of the inner annular baffles. The regenerated catalyst enters the stripper from the upper part, comes into a countercurrent and crosscurrent contact with steam from the annular steam conduit, and the stripped regenerated catalyst leaves the stripper from the bottom.

  • Publication number: 20030116471
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a catalytic cracking process of petroleum hydrocarbons and a tube-in-tube riser reactor used therein. In the present invention, a catalyst is fed via an inlet conduit to an inner tube and an annular space between the inner and outer tubes of the tube-in-tube riser reactor to contact a hydrocarbon feedstock, and the hydrocarbon feedstock is cracked under FCC conditions, then a reaction stream thus produced flows into a separation apparatus via a confluence tube to separate a hydrocarbon product stream from a spent catalyst, the spent catalyst is stripped and regenerated, then a regenerated catalyst is recycled for reuse. The process of the present invention can improve both product distribution and product properties.

  • Patent number: 6416656
    Abstract: This discloses a process for catalytically cracking hydrocarbon stocks in a riser or fluidized bed reactor simultaneously to increase yields of diesel and liquefied gas. The process includes the steps of: first, charging a gasoline stock and a catalytic cracking catalyst into a lower zone of the reactor to permit contact between the catalyst and the gasoline stock and to produce a liquefied gas-rich oil-gas mixture containing reacted catalyst. The resulting liquefied gas-rich oil-gas mixture (still containing reacted catalyst) is then introduced into a reaction zone above the lower zone of the reactor. Simultaneously, at least one conventional catalytic cracking hydrocarbon feed is also fed independently into at least two sites is situated at a different height above the lower zone of the reactor. The resulting mixture is then separated in a conventional fashion.
