Abstract
Abstract IN A FLUID CATALYTIC CRACKING UNIT EMPLOYING A MULTIPLICITY OF ELONGATED REACTION ZONES, SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENTS ARE OBTAINED BY INTRODUCING FRESH FEED TO EACH OF THE ELONGATED REACTION ZONE AND OPERATING AT LEAST ONE AT A HIGHER TEMPERATURE THEN AT LEAST ONE OTHER WHILE MAINTAINING THE CONVERSATION IN THE HIGHER TEMPERATURE ZONE EQUIVALENT TO OR LOWER THAN THE CONVERSATION IN THE LOWER TEMPERATURE REACTION ZONE. OPTIONALLY, THE VAPOROUS EFFLUENT FROM EITHER OR BOTH REACTION ZONE MAY BE SUBJECTED TO FURTHER CRACKING IN THE DENSE PHASE OF CATALYST IN THE REACTION VESSEL. HIGHER YIELDS OF HIGHER OCTANE GASOLINE ARE OBTAINED WHERE THE UNIT IS OPERATED IN THE DISCLOSED MANNER.
