RECOVERY OF ALIPHATIC HYDROCARBONS
The invention relates to a process for the recovery of aliphatic hydrocarbons from a liquid hydrocarbon feedstock stream comprising aliphatic hydrocarbons, heteroatom containing polar components and optionally aromatic hydrocarbons, said process comprising the steps of: a) mixing the liquid hydrocarbon feedstock stream with a solvent resulting in a liquid mixture; b) cooling the liquid mixture obtained in step a) to a temperature in the range of from +5° C. to −30° C. to obtain wax crystals in the mixture; c) separating wax crystals from the cooled liquid mixture obtained in step b) to produce a wax comprising aliphatic hydrocarbons and a dewaxed liquid mixture comprising solvent, heteroatom containing polar components and optionally aromatic hydrocarbons; d) separating solvent from the liquid mixture obtained in step c) and optionally recycling the separated solvent to step a). Further, the present invention relates to a process for the recovery of aliphatic hydrocarbons from plastics, and to a process for steam cracking a hydrocarbon feed.
PROCESSES AND SYSTEMS FOR FORMATION OF RECYCLE-CONTENT HYDROCARBON COMPOSITIONS
Processes and systems for making recycle content hydrocarbons, including olefins, using a cracker furnace having enhanced coil design. In some cases, the design of the furnace may prevent coking, so that the run length of the furnace is longer than conventional cracking furnaces. Cracker feed streams to the furnace can include recycle content pyrolysis oil and may be used to form olefin-containing effluent stream having recycle content.

PROCESSES AND SYSTEMS FOR MAKING RECYCLE CONTENT HYDROCARBONS THROUGH A PROPYLENE FRACTIONATOR
Processes and systems for making recycle content hydrocarbons, including olefins, from recycled waste material. Recycle waste material may be pyrolyzed to form recycle content pyrolysis oil composition (r-pyoil), at least a portion of which may then be cracked to form a recycle content olefin composition (r-olefin). The r-olefin may then be further separated into product streams in a separation zone downstream of the cracker furnace. The presence of recycle content hydrocarbons may facilitate more efficient operation of one or more distillation columns in the separation zone, including the propylene fractionator.

PYROLYSIS METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR VARIABLE RECYCLE WASTE FEEDSTOCKS
A pyrolysis method and system are provided that may utilize a recycled plastic feedstock that comprises various types of waste plastics or a feedstock that comprises various types of waste plastics and at least one crude post-industrial liquid waste. The disclosed pyrolysis method and system may be configured to convert various types of waste plastics, including post-customer and post-industrial wastes, and/or crude post-industrial liquid wastes into useful pyrolysis oils.
RECYCLE CONTENT ALKANOLAMINES
An alkanolamine composition having a recycle content value is obtained by reacting a recycle content feedstock to make a recycle content alkanolamine or by deducting from a recycle inventory a recycle content value applied to an alkanolamine composition. At least a portion of the recycle content value in the feedstock or m an allotment obtained by an alkanolamine manufacturer has its origin in recycled waste and/or pyrolysis of recycled waste and/or in thermal steam cracking of recycle content pyoil.
RECYCLE CONTENT OXO ALCOHOLS & OXO PLASTICIZERS
A composition having a recycle content value is obtained by reacting a recycle content feedstock to make a recycle content oxo alcohol or oxo plasticizer or by deducting from a recycle inventory a recycle content value applied to an oxo alcohol or oxo plasticizer composition. At least a portion of the recycle content value in the feedstock or in an allotment obtained by an oxo alcohol or oxo plasticizer manufacturer has its origin in recycled waste and/or pyrolysis of recycled waste and/or in thermal steam cracking of recycle content pyoil.
