- Additional information
- Catalytic cracking is an important refinery operation. It is carried out in a riser reactor, rarely a uniform cylinder from bottom to top. This study simulated for the first time an industrial size riser reactor with varying diameter and associated hydrodynamics. Process variables were directly correlated with the yield of gasoline. These correlations can now facilitate important design decisions regarding the choice of riser reactor column diameter to be used at fixed gasoline yields.
