Characteristic process parameters and variables in catalytic fluidized bed cracking . Catalytic fluidized‐bed cracking occupies a distinctive position among the various conversion processes. With regard to its favorable product range, the process is characterized by low processing costs coupled with flexibility of raw materials. A number of independent process parameters are available for control of the reactions involved in catalytic cracking and for influencing the product range. The cracking reactions taking place and the interplay of the independent and dependent variables are described. Apart from the actual cracking process, particular importance attaches to the regeneration of the catalyst charged with coke since it has a decisive influence on the thermal economy of the plant. Depending upon the desired product yield or the raw materials a suitable catalyst must be chosen. Considerable progress has recently been made in catalyst development.
