Ethanol Conversion Using FCC System

A system for ethanol conversion and cracking hydrocarbons, comprising:

• a first source of a hydrocarbon feed comprising hydrocarbons;
• a second source of an ethanol feed comprising ethanol;
• and
• a fluid catalytic cracking system comprising a fluid catalytic cracking reactor and a catalyst regenerator,
• wherein the fluid catalytic cracking reactor is fluidically coupled to the catalyst regenerator such that the fluid catalytic cracking reactor receives regenerated catalyst from the catalyst regenerator,
• wherein the fluid catalytic cracking reactor comprises a riser fluidically coupled to the first source of the hydrocarbon feed;
• and
• wherein the fluid catalytic cracking reactor comprises a reactor vessel that comprises a separator section and a stripper, the stripper being fluidically coupled to the second source of the ethanol feed.
