The propylene production of a fluid catalytic cracking unit employing a
large pore zeolite cracking catalyst, produces more propylene by adding a
naphtha cracking riser and a medium pore zeolite catalytic component to
the unit, and recycling at least a portion of the naphtha crackate to the
naphtha riser. The large pore size zeolite preferably comprises a USY
zeolite and the medium pore size is preferably ZSM-5. Propylene
production per unit of naphtha feed to the naphtha riser is maximized, by
using the 60 300.degree. F. naphtha crackate as the feed.
