The present invention relates to a process for purifying a pyrolyzed plastic waste, the process comprising the steps of providing the pyrolyzed plastic waste, wherein the pyrolyzed plastic waste is a liquid or a wax at 20° C. and 1 atm, contacting the pyrolyzed plastic waste with activated carbon yielding a pretreated 5 plastic waste and hydrogenating the pretreated plastic waste using hydrogen and a metal-based catalyst yielding a hydrogenated plastic waste suitable for steam cracking.

Systems and methods are provided for conversion of polymers (such as plastic waste) to olefins. The systems and methods can include an initial pyrolysis stage where a plastic feedstock is delivered to the initial pyrolysis stage by one or more melt extruders. The one or more melt extruders can be heated to maintain the plastic feedstock in a liquid state during delivery of the plastic feedstock to the initial pyrolysis stage. This can allow for delivery of the plastic feedstock into the pyrolysis process with a controlled distribution of plastic into the pyrolysis reactor.

Methods and systems are provided for the conversion of waste plastics into various useful downstream recycle-content products. More particularly, the present system and method involves integrating a pyrolysis facility with a cracker facility by introducing at least a stream of r-pyrolysis gas into the cracker facility. In the cracker facility, the r-pyrolysis gas may be separated to form one or more recycle content products, and can enhance the operation of the facility.

A process is disclosed for increasing gasoline and middle distillate selectivity in catalytic cracking. A process can include co-processing at least pyrolysis liquid and a distillation residue from tall oil distillation in a catalytic cracking process in a presence of a solid catalyst to provide a cracking product.

A method is disclosed of producing hydrocarbons from a recycled or renewable organic material, wherein the recycled or renewable organic material contains from 5 to 30 wt-% oxygen as organic oxy-gen compounds and from 1 to 1000 ppm phosphorous as phosphorous compounds. Exemplary methods include (a) providing the recycled or renewable organic material (c) thermally cracking the recycled or renewable organic material thereby reducing the oxygen and phosphorous content of the recycled or renewable organic material to obtain (i) a vapor fraction containing a major part of volatiles, and (ii) a thermally cracked recycled or renewable organic material fraction containing less oxygen and less phosphorous than the recycled or renewable organic material provided in step (a); and (f) hydrotreating the thermally cracked recycled or renewable organic material fraction in a presence of a hydrotreating catalyst; to obtain hydrocarbons containing less than 1 wt % oxygen and less phosphorous than the recycled or re-newable organic material provided in step (a).
