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 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.
ELECTRIC STEAM CRACKER
A reactor system and a process for carrying out steam cracking of a feed gas comprising hydrocarbons is provided, i where the heat for the reaction is provided by resistance heating by means of electrical power, so that a product stream comprising at least one olefin compound is obtained.
METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR TREATING CATALYTIC CRACKING REACTION PRODUCT AND USE THEREOF
In a method and system for treating a catalytic cracking gasoline, a catalytic cracking process, or a plant employs a fluidized reactor to carry out hydrodealkylation treatment on a catalytic cracking oil gas or catalytic cracking gasoline, so that heavy aromatics present therein can be efficiently converted into light olefins and light aromatics. The method and system can improve the yield of light olefins, allow a long-period stable operation, relieve the contradiction between supply and demand of light aromatics, and solve the problem of high content of heavy aromatics that have low value and are difficult to be utilized in aromatics present in oil gas from catalytic cracking units.
PYROLYSIS METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR RECYCLED WASTE
A pyrolysis method and system are provided that utilizes a hydrogen gas or steam in order to enhance the pyrolysis oils produced from recycled plastic wastes. More particularly, the disclosed pyrolysis method and system may be configured to co-feed a hydrogen gas or steam and various types of waste plastics, including post-customer and post-industrial wastes, into a pyrolysis unit and thereby produce desirable pyrolysis oils.
Methods for Converting C2+ Olefins to Higher Number Olefins Useful in Producing Isoparaffinic Kerosene Compositions
A method for producing a blended jet boiling range composition stream may include: oligomerizing an ethylene stream to a C4+ olefin stream in a first olefin oligomerization unit, wherein the C4+ olefin stream contains no greater than 10 wt % of methane, ethylene, and ethane combined; wherein the ethylene stream contains at least 50 wt % ethylene, at least 2000 wppm ethane, no greater than 1000 wppm of methane, and no greater than 20 wppm each of carbon monoxide and hydrogen; oligomerizing the C4+ olefin stream and a propylene/C4+ olefin stream in a second oligomerization unit to produce an isoolefinic stream; subjecting at least a portion of the isoolefinic stream to a hydroprocessing process with hydrogen as treat gas to produce an isoparaffinic stream having no greater than 10 wt % olefin content; and using least a portion of the isoparaffinic stream to create the blended jet boiling range.
PROCESS FOR REMOVING OLEFINS FROM NORMAL PARAFFINS IN AN ISOMERIZATION EFFLUENT STREAM
Favorable isomerization conditions for producing normal paraffins can produce olefins. The process for separating normal paraffins from non-normal paraffins by adsorption has a limit on olefin concentration, so the olefins must be removed. We propose to remove olefins from the isomerization effluent stream that is recycled to the adsorption separation process.
Process for producing propylene and a low-sulfur fuel oil component
A process for producing propylene and a low-sulfur fuel oil component, comprising the steps of contacting a heavy feedstock oil with a solvent for extraction separation to obtain a deasphalted oil and a deoiled asphalt; contacting the deasphalted oil and optionally a light feedstock oil with a catalytic conversion catalyst for reaction to obtain a reaction product comprising propylene; separating the reaction product to obtain a catalytic cracking distillate oil, and subjecting the catalytic cracking distillate oil to hydrodesulfurization to obtain a low-sulfur hydrogenated distillate oil, wherein the low-sulfur hydrogenated distillate oil and/or the deoiled asphalt is suitable for use as a fuel oil component. The process allows the conversion of saturated hydrocarbons in the heavy feedstock into propylene, eliminates the use of saturated hydrocarbons in the fuel oil component, and thus has better economic and social benefits.
Circular economy for plastic waste to polyethylene via refinery FCC and alkylation units
Provided in one embodiment is a continuous process for converting waste plastic into recycle for polyethylene polymerization. The process comprises selecting waste plastics containing polyethylene and/or polypropylene, and passing the waste plastics through a pyrolysis reactor to thermally crack at least a portion of the polyolefin waste and produce a pyrolyzed effluent. The pyrolyzed effluent is separated into offgas, a pyrolysis oil and optionally wax comprising a naphtha/diesel and heavy fraction, and char. The pyrolysis oil and wax is passed to a refinery FCC unit from which a liquid petroleum gas C.sub.3-C.sub.5 olefin/paraffin mixture fraction is recovered. The liquid petroleum gas C.sub.3-C.sub.5 olefin/paraffin mixture fraction is passed to a refinery alkylation unit, with a propane and butane fraction recovered from the alkylation unit. The propane and butane fraction is then passed to a steam cracker for ethylene production. In another embodiment, a naphtha fraction (C.sub.5-C.sub.8) is recovered from the alkylation unit and passed to the steam cracker. In another embodiment, a propane/propylene fraction (C.sub.3-C.sub.3.sup.=) is recovered from the FCC and passed to the steam cracker.
Circular economy for plastic waste to polyethylene and chemicals via refinery crude unit
Provided is a continuous process for converting waste plastic into recycle for polyethylene polymerization or for normal alpha olefins. The process comprises selecting waste plastics containing polyethylene and/or polypropylene and then passing the waste plastics through a pyrolysis reactor to thermally crack at least a portion of the polyolefin waste and produce a pyrolyzed effluent. The pyrolyzed effluent is separated into offgas, a naphtha/diesel fraction, a heavy fraction, and char. The naphtha/diesel fraction is passed to a crude unit in a refinery from which is recovered a straight run naphtha fraction (C.sub.5-C.sub.8) or a propane/butane (C.sub.3-C.sub.4) fraction. The straight run naphtha fraction, or propane and butane (C.sub.3-C.sub.4) fraction, is passed to a steam cracker for ethylene production. The ethylene is converted to normal alpha olefin and/or polyethylene. Also, a heavy fraction from the pyrolysis reactor can be combined with a heavy fraction of normal alpha olefin stream recovered from the steam cracker. The combined heavy fraction and heavy fraction of normal alpha olefin stream can be passed to a wax hydrogenation zone to produce wax.
