Abstract: In order to raise fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) regeneration efficiency and reduce the usage of fire accelerator, the Crosser baffles developed by China University of Petroleum (Beijing) is used. There are many parallel passageways on the Crosser baffles and each one has series of inclined guide vanes. The incline angles of these guide vanes are contrary in the adjacent passageways. By breaking the bubbles in the regenerator, the mass transfer between the bubbles and the catalysts is intensified. At the same time, the baffles suppressed the back mixing of the catalysts and optimized the catalysts residence time distribution, which raised the regeneration efficiency. The experiment was carried out in an commercial scale FCC regenerator with a capacity of 2,200,000 ton/year. The industrial data indicates that, by adopting the Crosser baffles, the regenerated catalysts carbon contention reduced from 0.103% to 0.059% (by weight for catalysts carbon contention all through the paper); the temperature difference in the dilute phase reduced from 28.6 ℃ to 17.6 ℃; the usage of fire accelerator reduced by 32.9% and the radial temperature difference is reduced by 50%.
