Development of a catalytic cracking process with a high yield of light olefins: technology and implementation.

A new domestic catalytic cracking process with a high yield of light olefins which corresponds to the best foreign analogs with respect to the technical and economic indexes is described. This process differs from the traditional process by more severe conditions of cracking the feedstock, an increased content of ZSM-5 additive in the equilibrium catalyst, and conducting repeated cracking of light naphtha in an additional continuous reactor.
