Abstract

High-severity catalytic cracking using a proprietary down-flow reactor can maximize propylene production. The process features a high reaction temperature and high catalyst-to-oil ratio along with a short contact time. A discussion on high-severity FCC covers the combination of mechanical modifications with conventional FCC; changes in process variables and catalyst formulations; the process reaction scheme process development; operating conditions of downer and riser pilot plants; high feedstock oil and product analysis; pilot plant results; cold-flow model; and the effect of ZSM-5 addition on product yields at 600°C using untreated VGO.
