A METHOD FOR CATALYTICALLY CONVERTING RELATIVELY HIGH BOILING HYDROCARBONS TO LOWER BOILING PRODUCTS IN A HEAT BALANCED CONVERSION SYSTEM WHICH COMPRISES: MAINTAINING A FIRST RELATIVELY DENSE FLUIDIZED BED OF CATALYST UNDERGOING REGENERATION IN A REGENERATION ZONE SUPERIMPOSED VERTICALLY ABOVE A SECOND RELATIVELY DENSE BED OF CATALYST PARTICIPATING IN CONVERSION IN A REACTION ZONE, FLOWING REGENERATED CATALYST DOWNWARDLY FROM SAID REGENERATION ZONE EXCLUSIVLEY INTO THE SECOND DENSE BED TO PROVIDE A CATALYST MIXTURE HAVING REDUCED ACTIVITY AND A TEMPERATURE WHICH IS SUBSTANTIALLY LOWER THAN THAT OF THE FRESHLY REGENERATED CATALYST, CONTACTING A RELATIVELY HIGH BOILING LIQUID HYDROCARBON OIL AND SOLID MATERIAL CONSISTING OF SAID CATALYST MIXTURE TO VAPORIZE AT LEAST A PORTION OF SUCH LIQUID AND TO PRODUCE AN UPFLOWING CONFINED SUSPENSION OF CATALYST AND HYDROCARBON MATERIAL, AND MAINTAINING HYDROCARBON CONVERSION CONDITIONS WITHIN THE SAID SUSPENSION, DISCHARGING SAID SUSPENSION ADJACENT THE UPPER LEVEL
