Methods and processes for recycling base oils from spent invert emulsion drilling fluids may include frictionally heating a spent drilling fluid that comprises an invert emulsion and solids, wherein the solids are at about 50% or less by volume of the spent drilling fluid; and simultaneously evaporating oil and water from the invert emulsion at a temperature lower than an atmospheric boiling point for the oil.

A method for recovering synthetic oils from a feed stream, the method comprising separating at least a portion of the non-synthetic oil constituents from a commingled stream to produce a partially purified synthetic oil stream and one or more contaminant streams. Extracting at least a portion of the synthetic oil from the partially purified synthetic oil stream to produce a synthetic oil stream and a second contaminant stream.

There is disclosed a system and method for processing diesel fuel from petroleum-based waste oil on a small scale compared to conventional methods for re-refining waste oil to a valuable product. In an embodiment, the method comprises dehydrating waste oil to remove water from the waste oil, and operating a vertical cylindrical reactor to induce pyrolysis of the dehydrated waste oil and convert it into a hydrocarbon vapour phase. The hydrocarbon vapour derived from pyrolysis is condensed and distilled using a distillation tower to produce diesel fuel, heavy liquid hydrocarbon, light liquid hydrocarbon and light hydrocarbon vapour. A filtering step cleans the processed diesel fuel to obtain a clean diesel fuel product.

Provided is a method for preparing synthesis gas, and more particularly, a method for preparing synthesis gas including: supplying a pyrolysis fuel oil (PFO) stream including a PFO and a pyrolysis gas oil (PGO) stream including a PGO discharged from a naphtha cracking center (NCC) process to a distillation tower as a feed stream (S10); and supplying a lower discharge stream from the distillation tower to a combustion chamber for a gasification process to obtain synthesis gas (S20), wherein the PGO stream is supplied to an upper end of the distillation tower and the PFO stream is supplied to a lower end of the distillation tower.

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.

The invention relates to an adhesive composition comprising an elastomer and tackifying resins wherein one of said tackifying resins comprises a liquid resin prepared from a liquified waste polymer, being preferably a pyrolysis oil via polymerization preferably prepared via cationic polymerization.

Processes and systems for fractionating a pyrolysis effluent. The effluent can be separated into a first liquid and a first vapor within a flash zone of a primary' fractionator. A pyrolysis tar can be recovered from the flash zone. The first vapor can flow into a quench zone and can be contacted with a first quench medium to produce a. second liquid and a second vapor. A pyrolysis quench oil can be recovered from the quench zone. The second vapor can flow into a fractionation zone and can be contacted with a second quench medium. A pyrolysis gas oil and a process gas can be recovered from the fractionation zone. Heat can be indirectly transferred from the pyrolysis quench oil to a heat transfer medium to produce a cooled pyrolysis quench oil. The first quench medium can include at least a portion of the cooled pyrolysis quench oil.

The disclosure relates to the purification and treatment of oil produced from the liquefaction of waste polymer like for instance the pyrolysis of waste plastic via the polymerization of dienes prior to further treatments.

The present invention relates to an oligomeric product prepared from pyrolysis oil, being preferably a plastic pyrolysis oil, via polymerization being preferably a cationic polymerization.
