Abstract:
1. A method for operating a transport reactor, comprising: fluidizing one or more particulates within a transport reactor, wherein the one or more particulates comprise one or more carbonaceous materials; maintaining one or more pressure differentials between two or more points within the transport reactor using at least one integrally geared compression system, the at least one integrally geared compression system comprising: circulating a primary fluid through the transport reactor using at least one of the two or more compressors, wherein the transport reactor is a fluid catalytic cracker, wherein a first compressor of the two or more compressors compresses a primary fluid flowing into the fluid catalytic cracker and a second compressor of the two or more compressors compresses a product flowing out of the fluid catalytic cracker, and wherein the same pinion drives the first compressor and the second compressor.
