The presently disclosed subject matter provides methods for producing olefins and/or aromatics from coker naphtha. In a non-limiting embodiment, a method for producing aromatics includes hydrogenating the coker naphtha stream in the presence of a first catalyst to remove diolefins and sulfur, if any, to obtain a hydrogenated stream and subjecting the hydrogenated stream to aromatization in the presence of a second catalyst to produce an aromatic-rich stream that includes benzene, toluene and xylene. In certain embodiments, a method for producing olefins includes hydrogenating the coker naphtha stream in the presence of a first catalyst to remove diolefins and sulfur, if any, to obtain a hydrogenated stream and subjecting the hydrogenated stream to catalytic cracking in the presence of a second catalyst to produce an olefin-rich stream that includes ethylene, propylene and aromatics.

Method for starting up a method for producing kerosene and diesel fuel from hydrocarbon compounds produced by Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. The start-up method employs catalytic reaction of Fischer-Tropsch synthesis with a synthesis gas for producing a heavy hydrocarbon fraction and a light hydrocarbon fraction, a reduction (RE) reducing a hydrotreatment catalyst by ensuring contact with a gas comprising hydrogen, bringing the heavy hydrocarbon fraction into contact with the hydrotreatment catalyst (DM). During the step for ensuring contact, the temperature (TEMP) of the catalyst is increased to a temperature of between 260 C. and 360 C. Then, (TR) bringing a mixture comprising the heavy hydrocarbon fraction and the light hydrocarbon fraction into contact with the hydrotreatment catalyst is carried out.
