Investigation of the Operating Conditions on Decreasing FCC Gasoline Olefin Content by GOR-Q Catalyst

Abstract

Based on a fixed-fluid-bed reactor and a GOR-Q catalyst, the influence of process parameters on decreasing gasoline olefin content was studied. The results show that the catalyst had an obvious effect on the decreasing gasoline olefins. A higher catalyst-to-oil ratio, lower weighted hourly space velocity, and lower reactor temperature give rise to lower gasoline olefin content. The reduction of fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) gasoline olefin content is achieved by decreasing olefins of low carbon number. Reaction temperature under 520°C and catalyst-to-oil ratio = 7.0 for a GOR-Q catalyst are advantageous for decreasing olefin content of FCC gasoline.
