Abstract

Catalytic regenerators, nozzle designs and processes suitable for introducing regeneration air into a catalytic cracking unit which substantially reduce erosion induced nozzle failures include a plurality of nozzle elements having a roughness defined upon the outside surface of said nozzle elements so as to reduce erosion due to the impact of fluidized catalyst particles within the catalytic regenerator.
