Preliminary Study on the Vaporization Ratio of the Slurry in the Residue Fluid Catalytic Cracking Disengager1

The vaporization ratios of the slurry at various temperature and partial pressure were calculated with the group-contribution method, and then the phase state of the slurry in the residue fluid catalytic cracking (RFCC) disengager was determined. This research could provide some advices on how to select the technological conditions to decrease the coking in the RFCC disengager. The oil gas temperature and the slurry partial pressure had significant effects on the vaporization ratio of the slurry. Increasing the oil gas temperature and reducing the slurry partial pressure could effectively slow down the coking speed in the RFCC disengager. According to the calculation results, a correlation was established to predict the vaporization ratio of the slurry under different operating conditions.
