An apparatus and method for processing different feeds in a fluid catalytic cracking unit are disclosed which result in improved yields of C3, C4 and gasoline range hydrocarbons as compared to conventional systems. The process comprises injecting a main hydrocarbon feed into a catalyst-containing riser reactor through a plurality of main feed injectors, and injecting a light hydrocarbon feed into the riser reactor at a location upstream from the main feed injectors and downstream from a control valve such as a regenerated catalyst slide valve, the light feed being injected in a region having a high density of catalyst particles. The light feed is injected in a dispersed way such the amount of feed injected corresponds to the density of catalyst particles at that particular point, with greater amounts of feed being injected at locations having a large number of catalyst particles. Also, a heavy hydrocarbon feed or a heavy recycle stream from the same FCC unit can be injected at the same elevation as the main feed injectors but through separate injectors.

What is claimed is: 1. A fluid catalytic cracking process for increasing yields of C3 and C4 hydrocarbons, comprising: (a) injecting a main feed comprising hydrocarbons with boiling points in the range of 400° F. to 1150° F. into a riser reactor of a fluid catalytic cracking apparatus through a set of main feed injectors, the riser reactor including a downwardly slanted portion and a vertical portion disposed downstream from the downwardly slanted portion, and (b) injecting a light feed comprising hydrocarbons with boiling points of no more than about 440° F. into said fluid catalytic cracking apparatus through a first light feed injector disposed at the lower end of the riser reactor and through a second light feed injector disposed on the downwardly slanted portion of the riser reactor upstream from the first light feed injector, the first and second light feed injectors being positioned at locations at which catalyst flow changes direction and is not uniform. 2. A process according to claim 1, wherein said light feed is injected into a conduit portion of said riser reactor. 3. A process according to claim 2, wherein said conduit portion has a lower catalyst density region and a higher catalyst density region. 4.

A process according to claim 1, wherein the yield of propylene is at least 2% higher than the yield of propylene in a process in which said light feed is injected at one location upstream from said main feed. 16. A process according to claim 1, wherein said catalyst is a zeolite. 17. A fluid catalytic cracking process for increasing yields of C3, C4 and gasoline range hydrocarbons, comprising: (a) injecting a main feed comprising hydrocarbons with boiling points in the range of 400° F. to 1150° F. into a riser reactor of a fluid catalytic cracking apparatus through a set of main feed injectors, the riser reactor including a downwardly slanted portion and a vertical portion disposed downstream from the downwardly slanted portion, (b) injecting a heavy feed comprising hydrocarbons with boiling points in the range of 570° F. to 1275° F. through a set of heavy feed injectors positioned at the same elevation on said riser reactor as said set of main feed injectors, and (c) injecting a light feed comprising hydrocarbons with boiling points of no more than about 440° F. into said fluid catalytic cracking apparatus through first and second light feed injectors positioned upstream from said main feed injectors at locations at which catalyst flow changes direction and is not uniform, the second light feed injector being positioned on the downwardly slanted portion of the riser reactor. 18. A process according to claim 17, wherein said light feed is injected into a conduit portion of said riser reactor. 19.
