Abstract
An FCC reactor achieves greater utilization of the space within the reactor vessel by using a vented riser arrangement having an inlet opening at the bottom of a vented riser collector. The inlet opening at the bottom of the vented riser collector allows plug flow of the catalyst and hydrocarbon vapors through the upper and lower section of the reactor vessel without any substantial degradation and separation efficiency between the catalyst and the hydrocarbon vapors. This permits almost the entire tangent length of the reactor vessel to be used for the purpose of catalyst and hydrocarbon contact.
