A coke control reactor, and a device and method for preparing low-carbon olefins from an oxygen-containing compound are provided. The coke control reactor includes a coke control reactor shell, a reaction zone I, and a coke controlled catalyst settling zone; a cross-sectional area at any position of the reaction zone I is less than that of the coke controlled catalyst settling zone; n baffles are arranged in a vertical direction in the reaction zone I; the n baffles divide the reaction zone I into m reaction zone I subzones; and a catalyst circulation hole is formed in each of the baffles, such that a catalyst flows in the reaction zone I in a preset manner. A catalyst charge in the present coke control reactor can be automatically adjusted, and an average residence time of a catalyst in the coke control reactor can be controlled by changing process operating conditions.

A device for cooling a fine-grained solid includes a fluidized bed cooler/heater in which the solid is fluidized with a fluidizing gas and thereby releases energy in the form of heat within the cooler/heater at least two cyclones which are connected in parallel. The cyclones are arranged such that after the fluidization of the solid the fluidizing gas passes through the cyclones so contained particles are removed.

A system for processing a hydrocarbon feed has a final stage reactor and internal separator with cyclone that forms a substantially gas stream and a substantially non-gas stream. The substantially gas stream is sent directly from the final stage reactor and separator to further downstream processing.

Processes and apparatuses for regenerating catalysts used in a hydrocarbon conversion process. The catalyst is separated into a bypass portion and an adsorption portion. The bypass portion is passed to a regeneration zone where coke may be removed. A vent gas from the regeneration zone may include an active additive from the catalyst, like a halogen. The vent gas is sent to an adsorption zone which also receives the adsorption portion. In the adsorption zone, the catalyst will contact and adsorb the active additive and then pass to the regeneration zone. The amount of active additive in the vent gas from the regeneration zone and the adsorption zone is reduced.
