When processing traditional distillate feeds or blends with a Conradson Carbon Residue (ConC or CCR) content less than around 2 to 3 wt. %, a single stage regeneration system operating in complete or partial combustion mode is generally adequate. 

The reaction system is the heart of the process and is defined from the point of catalyst introduction into the riser to the catalyst discharge from the stripper. The entire system needs to be designed to work in concert to maximize performance for maximum distillate, gasoline or LPG production.
