Abstract

Disclosed is a process for the removal of solids and the fluid catalytic cracking of a synthetic hydrocarbon stream having a 90% boiling point above 800.degree. F. and containing finely divided solids. The stream is cracked under low-severity cracking conditions, and a first portion of the solids is removed along with the spent catalyst and separated from the spent catalyst in a catalyst regeneration zone. A second portion of the solids is removed by conventional means from the catalytically cracked product to form a product synthetic crude essentially free of solids.
