Conclusions
-
1.
The amounts of gasoline and propylene formed at various heights in the reactor indicate that decomposition reactions prevail in the upper part, and polymerization reactions in the lower part of the reactor, whatever the temperature in the control point (temperature range between 426 and 460°C).
-
2.
The amount of propylene formed by catalytic cracking does not determine the amount of gasoline formed,
-
3.
The characteristic factor reflects the reactivity of the feed; however, it cannot be recommended to use this factor in control systems, since the formation of gasoline is correlated more closely to other parameters.
