A composition having a recycle content value is obtained by reacting a recycle content feedstock to make a recycle content alpha olefin or by deducting from a recycle inventory a recycle content value applied to an alpha olefin composition. At least a portion of the recycle content value in the feedstock or in an allotment obtained by an alpha olefin manufacturer has its origin in recycled waste and/or pyrolysis of recycled waste and/or in thermal steam cracking of recycle content pyoil.

A recycle content glycol ether or glycol ether ester and method of making a recycle content glycol ether or glycol ether ester wherein the recycle content is derived directly or indirectly from the cracking of recycle content pyrolysis oil and/or gas. The cracking of the pyrolysis oil can be conducted in a gas furnace or a split furnace.

Drill bit wear can be quantified through an analysis of chemical reactions that occur during drilling. A detector measures the molar composition of a dissolved gas sample. From the molar composition, the moles of hydrogen, ethylene, and propylene in the dissolved gas sample are determined. A thermal cracking reaction and a thermal decomposition reaction determine moles of hydrogen produced during drill bit wear based on the moles of ethylene and propylene. The moles of hydrogen produced is subtracted from the total moles of hydrogen to determine moles of hydrogen produced by metal oxidation. A metal-water reaction determines the moles of metal that have been oxidized. This can be converted into mass or volume of metal loss to quantify drill bit wear.

A recycle content oxo glycol and method of making a recycle content oxo glycol wherein the recycle content is derived directly or indirectly from the cracking of recycle content pyrolysis oil and/or gas. The cracking of the pyrolysis oil can be conducted in a gas furnace or a split furnace.

The furnace of a delayed coking unit which is utilized for heating residue feeds to high temperatures can suffer from decrease in run length and fouling caused by caustic carryover from the upstream desalter unit. An antifoulant additive for preventing caustic induced fouling of thermal cracker furnace tubes is disclosed. The described antifoulant additive acts by converting the inorganic caustic compound such as NaOH to naphthenate salt of the metal as well as by reducing the fouling tendency of the whole feedstock, thereby making it ineffective in causing coking reaction. The additive finds application in thermal residue upgradation furnaces such as delayed coking unit, visbreaker, etc.

The invention relates to a method for recovering hydrocarbons from plastic wastes, in particular polyolefin-rich waste, by means of purely thermolytic cracking without the use of catalysts, comprising melting the plastic waste in two heating devices (3) and (4), wherein a recycle stream derived from the cracking reactor (5) and purified in a separator system (8, 9) is admixed with the molten plastic waste from the heating device (3). The mixed plastic stream is further heated in the second heating device (4), and from there is guided into the cracking reactor (5), where the plastic materials are cracked, and by means of subsequent distillation are separated into diesel and low boilers. A special entry system allows the prior separation of water and acidic gases, and the saving of inert gas. The invention further relates to a system for carrying out the method.
