Abstract
Disclosed is a catalytic cracking process that includes more than one catalytic cracking reaction step. The process integrates catalytic cracking steps with hydroprocessing in order to maximize olefins production, distillate quality and octane level of the overall cracked product. Preferably, one hydroprocessing step is included between the cat cracking reaction steps, and a portion of the hydroprocessed products, i.e., a naphtha and mid distillate fraction, is combined with cracked product for further separation and hydroprocessing. It is also preferred that the first catalytic cracking reaction step be a short contact time reaction step.
