Because of the continuous increase in the amount of plastic waste, catalytic cracking is an interesting method that could be used to convert heavy oil from thermal cracking of plastic waste into fuel. The objective of this study was to investigate the hydrodynamic behavior and the performance of catalytic cracking of heavy oil in a circulating fluidized bed reactor using computational fluid dynamics. The two– fluid model incorporated with the kinetic theory of granular flow was applied to predict the hydrodynamic behavior with a reactive flow. Three reactor geometries were studied, which included a conventional riser, tapered–out riser, and tapered–in riser. The four–lump kinetic model was used to describe the catalytic cracking of heavy oil from waste plastic. A core–annulus flow pattern was found in the three reactor geometries. The solid fraction distribution of the tapered reactor was found to be more uniform than that of the conventional riser. The tapered–in riser showed the highest heavy oil conversion with the lowest gasoline selectivity. However, the heavy oil conversion and gasoline selectivity of the conventional and tapered–out reactors were not significantly different.

Effect of fines content (weight % of particles with diameter less than 45 μm) on bed fluidity was determined to get a base for good fluidization quality in the fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) unit. The fines content in equilibrium FCC catalysts (Ecat) from commercial units were controlled by adding or removing the fines to simulate commercial situation. To get the fluidity values (Umb/Umf) of seven different FCC catalysts (2 Ecats and 5 fresh catalysts) and their mixture, minimum fluidization velocity (Umf) and minimum bubbling velocity (Umb) were measured in a fluidized bed reactor (0.05 m ID). The fluidity decreased with loss of fines content and increased with increments of makeup of fresh catalysts or additive with the controlled fines content. The fluidities of catalysts increase with increases of normalized particle diameter variation by the fines addition. The obtained fluidities have been correlated with the fines contents and the catalyst and gas properties. The proposed correlation could guide to keep good catalyst fluidity in the FCC unit.
