Abstract
One exemplary embodiment can include a hydrocarbon conversion process. Generally, the process includes passing a hydrocarbon stream through a hydrocarbon conversion zone comprising a series of reaction zones. Typically, the hydrocarbon conversion zone includes a staggered-bypass reaction system having a first, second, third, and fourth reaction zones, which are staggered-bypass reaction zones, and a fifth reaction zone, which can be a non-staggered-bypass reaction zone, subsequent to the staggered-bypass reaction system.
Claims4
A process for optimizing a staggered-bypass reaction system, comprising a plurality of moving bed staggered-bypass reaction zones, comprising:
- adding a non-staggered non-bypass fixed bed reaction zone having a feed consisting of an effluent from the last staggered-bypass reaction zone of the plurality of staggered-bypass reaction zones.
A hydrocarbon conversion process, comprising:
- passing a hydrocarbon stream through a hydrocarbon conversion zone, which in turn comprises:
- i) a staggered-bypass moving bed reaction system, comprising first, second, third, and fourth staggered-bypass moving bed reaction zones;
- and
- ii) a fifth non-staggered non-bypass fixed bed reaction zone receiving a feed consisting of an effluent from the fourth staggered-bypass reaction zone.
