Systems relating to thermal activation (or cracking) of ethane to an intermediate, low purity raw ethylene stream in a first stage. The system then mixes this stream with a stream of raw biomass-derived ethanol that may contain more than four volume percent of water. The resulting mixture is reacted over a suitable catalyst at temperatures and pressures suitable to produce gasoline-range and diesel-range blend stock.

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.

A process for treatment of C.sub.9+ aromatic complex bottoms feedstream that includes reacting the feedstream in the presence of a hydrodearylation catalyst and hydrogen under specified reaction conditions for hydrodearylation to produce liquid effluents containing dearylated hydrocarbons and separating the liquid effluents into a BTEX-rich fraction and a solvent fraction, and recovering the solvent fraction.
