Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
129 words
In a process for stripping hot regenerated catalyst with a fuel gas before passage to a hydrocarbon conversion operation, the improved method of stripping which comprises, passing hot regenerated catalyst with entrained CO 2 containing flue gas downwardly as a confined stream into a zone imparting a centrifugal annular catalyst flow to said downwardly flowing confined stream about a centrally positioned zone closed at its upper end but open in the bottom end thereof, contacting said annular flowing catalyst stream with fuel gas and displacing CO 2 from the catalyst, withdrawing fuel gas with displaced CO 2 into said centrally postioned zone for withdrawal from the stripping operation, and withdrawing regenerated catalyst displaced from CO 2 from beneath said centrally positioned zone for transfer to a hydrocarbon conversion zone.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
129 words
In a process for stripping hot regenerated catalyst with a fuel gas before passage to a hydrocarbon conversion operation, the improved method of stripping which comprises, passing hot regenerated catalyst with entrained CO 2 containing flue gas downwardly as a confined stream into a zone imparting a centrifugal annular catalyst flow to said downwardly flowing confined stream about a centrally positioned zone closed at its upper end but open in the bottom end thereof, contacting said annular flowing catalyst stream with fuel gas and displacing CO 2 from the catalyst, withdrawing fuel gas with displaced CO 2 into said centrally postioned zone for withdrawal from the stripping operation, and withdrawing regenerated catalyst displaced from CO 2 from beneath said centrally positioned zone for transfer to a hydrocarbon conversion zone.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
20 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the fuel gas has been separated from hydrogen sulfide before displacing said flue gas.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
21 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the fuel gas comprises C 3 and lower boiling component of a hydrocarbon cracking operation.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
24 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the displacement of flue gas with fuel gas is accomplished without undesired temperature reduction of the regenerated catalyst.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
35 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the displacement of flue gas with fuel gas is accomplished by passing the fuel gas through a horizontally circulating annular confined stream of catalyst into said centrally positioned zone.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
71 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the annular catalyst flow is in a zone about the centrally positioned zone, hollow sloping baffles in said annular passageway provide open communication between said central zone and a separate confined annular zone about said annular flowing catalyst stream and fuel gas with displaced CO 2 is withdrawn from said central zone through said hollow baffles into said separate confined annular zone for withdrawal therefrom.
