Abstract
A process and apparatus for the hydrogen fluoride-catalyzed alkylation of hydrocarbonaceous species, utilizing multiple reaction zones, in which the inventories and strengths of catalysts within the several reaction zones are controlled. A portion of the catalyst from a reaction zone over-abundant in either acid strength or acid inventory is educted from that zone and passed to a reaction zone deficient in either acid strength or acid inventory. The apparatus includes catalyst recycle conduits within each reaction-settling zone and conduit means for interconnecting the individual recycle conduits to provide alternative flow paths to move catalyst from one recycle conduit to another recycle conduit or vice-versa.
