Abstract
Some examples herein provide a method of processing a feedstock. The feedstock may be flowed into a reactor. A catalyst may be flowed into the reactor. Within the reactor, the feedstock may be converted over the catalyst, at an average reaction temperature, to a product stream. The product stream may be withdrawn from the reactor. A stream of the catalyst may be withdrawn from the reactor. Said stream of the catalyst may be heated to a temperature above the average reaction temperature without exposing the catalyst to any air or other oxidants. The heated stream of catalyst may be returned to the reactor at a temperature higher than the reaction temperature, to obtain the average reaction temperature within the reactor.
