PRODUCTION OF LIGHT OLEFINS FROM CRUDE OIL VIA FLUID CATALYTIC CRACKING PROCESS AND APPARATUS

A reactor system configured for efficiently removing contaminants (CCR, nickel, vanadium, nitrogen, sodium, iron, calcium, chlorine etc.) from a heavy portion of the crude oil. The products are routed to a common main fractionation section. The heavy feed with lower contaminants may then be processed in a fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) unit, the overall concept employing a fluid catalytic reaction platform with carbon rejection approach. Also disclosed is a reactor system for efficiently processing crude oil in a fluid catalytic cracking unit with a dual-reactor and dual catalyst system to maximize petrochemical building blocks such as ethylene, propylene, butylenes, BTX (benzene, toluene and xylene) rich naphtha from a variety of crude oils.

HIGH SEVERITY FLUIDIZED CATALYTIC CRACKING SYSTEMS AND PROCESSES FOR PRODUCING OLEFINS FROM PETROLEUM FEEDS

Systems and processes are disclosed for producing petrochemical products, such as ethylene, propene and other olefins from crude oil in high severity fluid catalytic cracking (HSFCC) units. Processes include separating a crude oil into a light fraction and a heavy fraction, cracking the light fraction and heavy fraction in separation cracking reaction zones, and regenerating the cracking catalysts in a two-zone regenerator having a first regeneration zone for the first catalyst (heavy fraction) and a second regeneration zone for the second catalyst (light fraction) separate from the first regeneration zone. Flue gas from the first catalyst regeneration zone is passed to the second regeneration zone to provide additional heat to raise the temperature of the second catalyst of the light fraction side. The disclosed systems and processes enable different catalysts and operating conditions to be utilized for the light fraction and the heavy fraction of a crude oil feed.
