which uses a ball catalyst, are:
possibility of simple regulation within

wide limits of degree of transformation of raw materials and circulation of the catalyst;
intensive mixing in the reactor and regenerator, eliminating local overheating and providing high heat transfer coefficients;
lower energy costs for catalyst transport;
simpler designs of the main devices.

Main features of the process

The disadvantage of cracking in a fluidized bed is that due to the intensive mixing of the raw material in the reactor is mixed with the reaction products and regenerated catalyst in the regenerator with the coked catalyst, i.e. no backflow and more complete regeneration processing of a catalyst.

with a double rise of the catalyst, when the regenerator

is located above the reactor and the catalyst is transported in the diluted phase. The process is carried out at an overpressure of 0.15...0.3 MPa in the reactor and 0.5...1.0 MPa in the regenerator. The regenerator is placed at such a height relative to the reactor that the weight of the catalyst in the discharge riser provides overcoming the pressure in the reactor. Under this condition, the catalyst is transported continuously.
Scheme with two-fold rise of the catalyst at the location of the reactor and the regenerator at the same level. The reactor unit operates at the same pressure in both devices, which leads to an increase in energy consumption for air compression.

the same level. The catalyst is transported in a dense

phase under the action of the weight difference in the descending and ascending branches, taking into account the catalyst column inside the apparatus. The amount of circulating catalyst is regulated by changing its density in the lifting risers, for which the amount of water vapor or air supplied to the risers is varied.
Scheme of a coaxial arrangement of the reactor and regenerator and single lifting of catalyst in the diluted phase. According to this scheme, the reactor can be placed above or below the regenerator in a single unit.
