One option to produce more ethene and propene can be to crack naphtha type fractions in dedicated smaller FCC units. We present here the results obtained for high temperature steam catalytic cracking (SCC) of a representative naphtha product (n-heptane) with ZSM-5. It has been found that under those conditions the presence of steam produces an irreversible dealumination of the zeolite as well as a reversible deactivation due to the interaction of water with active sites with a negative effect on protolytic cracking. A kinetic decay model that takes into account the two phenomena has been developed. The apparent activation energy is lower in the presence of steam. It appears that whilst the presence of steam is vital when processing heavy feeds to achieve a better feed dispersion and a more effective catalytic cracking in conventional fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) units, in the case of steam catalytic cracking of naphtha (n-heptane) the presence of steam has a negative effect on the final performance of the catalyst. On the other hand, whilst steam does not modify ethene and propene selectivity, significantly decreases H-2 and CH4 formation, as well as formation of potential coke precursors.
