Abstract
A process for cracking hydrocarbon with hot particulate solids wherein a curtain of hot particulate solids is delivered to a thermal reactor through peripheral openings and hydrocarbon feed is delivered to the reactor through the curtain of hot particulate solids at an angle.
Claims17
A process for cracking hydrocarbons with hot particulate solids comprising the steps of:
- (a) delivering a curtain of hot particulate solids to a cracking reactor through peripheral openings above a centrally disposed arcuate member above the reactor inlet;
- and
- (b) delivering hydrocarbon feed to the curtain of hot particulate solids to form a composite of particulate solids and feed from a direction of the reactor wall at an angle to the curtain of hot particulate solids to direct the composite of particulate solids and feed to the centrally disposed arcuate member and cracking the hydrocarbon feed to form a cracked product.
