The effect of reaction temperature on bed temperature
Thread Content
How can the increase in the regenerator bed temperature when the reaction temperature is raised be explained?
I have no experience with catalytic cracking. From a layperson’s perspective, it seems that as the reaction temperature increases, the degree of cracking increases as well; carbon deposition on the catalyst increases, and more burning occurs in the regeneration gas, which leads to higher temperatures in the regenerator. I would appreciate answers from experts in catalytic cracking
With other operating conditions remaining unchanged, increasing the reaction temperature leads to a greater degree of reaction and an increase in the amount of coke formed, which in turn raises the bed temperature.
