A method of converting an original FCC unit of side by side configuration
to a converted FCC unit for processing light feedstock by replacing an
regenerator in the original FCC unit with an embodied regenerator. From
the original FCC unit, the air supply assembly is removed and a
centerwell is installed with a fluidization gas, fuel, and air inlet(s)
through the centerwell. Distribution rings are connected to each of
fluidization gas and fuel inlet(s). An internal pipe and a standpipe
portion are installed, wherein a lower end of the standpipe extends into
the centerwell creating a radial slot, and wherein the lower end of the
standpipe is spaced above the deflector plate in the centerwell to allow
flow of spent catalyst through the standpipe and provide deflection of
the spent catalyst flow for mixing the spent catalyst with fuel oil that
is vaporized within the centerwell.
