The catalyst is fed into the regenerator section, fluidized by an air grid, and the coke is burned off the catalyst particles. The catalyst absorbs this heat; is separated by another two sets of cyclones; and is eventually fed back into the riser. The process repeats in the riser, using the absorbed heat to fuel the cracking reaction.
