The invention relates to hydrocarbon conversion, to equipment and materials useful for hydrocarbon conversion, and to processes for carrying out hydrocarbon conversion, e.g., hydrocarbon pyrolysis processes. The hydrocarbon conversion is carried out in a reactor which includes at least one channeled member that comprises refractory and has an open frontal area 55%. The refractory can include non-oxide ceramic.

The present invention relates to a process for fluid catalytic cracking of a feedstock comprising a light tight oil and at least one conventional feedstock in order to produce an effluent, in which the feedstock has a content of light tight oil so that the density of the feedstock is between 0.84 and 0.91.

The present invention relates to the field of catalytic cracking, and discloses a composition capable of reducing CO and NOx emissions, the preparation method and use thereof, and a fluidized catalytic cracking method. The inventive composition capable of reducing CO and NOx emissions comprises an inorganic oxide carrier, and a first metal element, optionally a second metal element, optionally a third metal element and optionally a fourth metal element supported on the inorganic oxide carrier, wherein the first metal element includes Fe and Co, and wherein the weight ratio of Fe to Co is 1:(0.1-10) on an oxide basis. The inventive composition has better hydrothermal stability and higher activity of reducing CO and NOx emissions in the flue gas from the regeneration.

An apparatus 100 for conducting chemical reactions in a process fluid is provided, comprising a central shaft 1 with a number of axial-radial rotors 3 mounted thereon, a plurality of stationary vanes 2 disposed upstream the rotor and a mixing space 4 disposed downstream of the rotor, wherein the mixing space is configured to convert mechanical energy imparted to the process fluid by the rotor into internal energy of said process fluid and to establish conditions for an at least one chemical reaction in the process fluid to occur. Related arrangement, method and uses of the apparatus are further provided.

Methods and processes for moving towards optimizing one or more parameters in a parallel train comprising two hydrocarbon cracking facilities where the two facilities either have non-identical process unit configurations or are operating under non-identical process conditions are disclosed. These methods and processes use models to simulate the impact of interconnecting the facilities by partially withdrawing an intermediate stream from within one cracking facility and adding the partially withdrawn stream to the second cracking facility in order to better optimize the overall operation of the parallel train.
