Process continuous catalyst regeneration

The process consists of a reactor section, continuous catalyst regeneration unit (CCR), and product recovery section. Stacked radial-flow reactors are used to minimize pressure drop and to facilitate catalyst recirculation to and from the CCR. The reactor feed consists solely of LPG plus the recycle of unconverted feed components no hydrogen is recycled. The liquid product contains about 92 wt% benzene, toluene, and xylenes (BTX) (Figure 6-7), with a balance of Cg aromatics and a low nonaromatic content. Therefore, the product could be used directly for the recovery of benzene by fractional distillation (without the extraction step needed in catalytic reforming). [Pg.178]

CCR Platforming [Continuous Catalyst Regeneration] A development of the Platforming process in which the catalyst is moved continuously through the stacked reactors into a catalyst regeneration section. Developed by UOP in 1970. [Pg.57]

As practiced today, FCC is a fluidized-bed process with continuous catalyst regeneration which reUes on short contact in a riser reactor between the feed and catalyst, fluidized with an inert gas, followed by disengagement and catalyst regeneration to burn off coke deposits and return the catalyst to near-fresh activity. [Pg.557]

None of the above properties and characteristics act independently. When one among them is changed with a view to improvement, the others are also modified and not necessarily in the direction of an overall improvement. As a result, industrial catalysts are never ideal. Fortunately, however, the ideal is not altogether indispensable. Certain properties, such as activity and reproducibility, are always necessary, but selectivity, for example, has hardly any meaning in reactions such as ammonia synthesis, and the same holds true for thermal conductivity in an isothermal reaction. Stability is always of interest but becomes less important in processes that include continuous catalyst regeneration. Regenerability must be optimized in this case. [Pg.180]

Application To produce high yields of benzene, toluene, xylenes and hydrogen from naphthas via the CCR Aromizing process coupled with RegenC continuous catalyst regeneration technology. Benzene and toluene cuts are fed directly to an aromatics extraction unit. The xylenes fraction, obtained by fractionation and subsequent treatment by the Arofining process for diolefins and olefins removal, is ideal for para-xylene and orthoxylene production. [Pg.32]

Description The process consists of a reactor section, continuous catalyst regeneration (CCR) section and product-recovery section. Stacked radial-flow reactors (1) facilitate catalyst transfer to and from the CCR catalyst regeneration section (2). A charge heater and interheaters (3) achieve optimum conversion and selectivity for the endothermic reaction. Reactor effluent is separated into liquid and vapor products (4). The liquid product is sent to a stripper column (5) to remove light saturates from the C6 aromatic product. Vapor from the separator is compressed and sent to a gas recovery unit (6). The compressed vapor is then separated into a 95% pure hydrogen coproduct, a fuel-gas stream containing light byproducts and a recycled stream of unconverted LPG. [Pg.37]

Description This process features moving bed reactors and a continuous catalyst regeneration system coupled with a hard, smoothflowing catalyst. Feed enters the reactor (1), passes radially through the moving catalyst bed, exits at the reactor bottom and proceeds in the same manner through the 2-3 remaining reactors (2). The robust... [Pg.26]

Description This new process consists of a reactor section, a continuous catalyst regeneration section and product recovery section. One or more fluidized-bed reactors (1) are used with continuous catalyst transfer to and from the continuous catalyst regenerator (2). The robust regenerable MTO-lOO catalyst is based on a nonzeolitic molecular sieve. Raw (nondewatered) methanol is fed to the low-pressure reactor (1), which offers very high (99%+) conversion of the... [Pg.77]

This catalyst regeneration operation is performed using published processes, examples of which include the use of a fixed bed switching reactor system in the case of the Z-Forming process(l), and the use of a continuous catalyst regeneration system in the case of the Cyclar process(2). However, catalyst activity gradually decreases due to the repeated reaction and regeneration. Catalyst life, therefore, is considered terminated at the point where its activity falls below the point at which it is able to maintain a pre-set aromatic yield. [Pg.368]

Until recently only a few papers were available on moving beds in cross flow [11-18]. This type of reactor is sometimes a favorable process solution for a selective catalytic process with a moderate catalyst rcsidence time and with a short gas residence time, especially when the process is accompanied by a continuous catalyst regeneration. The use of conventional short-contact-time reactors like fluidized-bed reactors, risers, and fixed-bed reactors does not always yield satisfactory results. This may be explained by problems connected with gas back-mixing, channeling of gas, low catalyst holdup, attrition of the solid catalyst, or difficulties in temperature control. [Pg.576]
