The present invention relates to a process for producing olefins from a hydrocarbon feedstock 11 with a sulfur content of at least 0.1 weight %, an initial boiling point of at least 180° C. and a final boiling point of at least 600° C.

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. In some cases, presence of recycle content hydrocarbons may facilitate more efficient operation of one or more distillation columns in the separation zone, including the demethanizer.

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). In some cases, a heavy fraction from the cracker effluent may be used to form a recycle content pyrolysis gasoline composition (r-pyrolysis gasoline).

Processes and systems for making recycle content hydrocarbons, including olefins, are provided that integrate a cracker unit with one or more other processing units. For example, in some cases, a pyrolysis unit and cracking unit may share a common energy exchange zone so that energy from one unit may be transferred to the other. The energy exchange may be direct or indirect and may be present at one or more locations between the units.

A recycle content glycol ether or glycol ether ester and method of making a recycle content glycol ether or glycol ether ester wherein the recycle content is derived directly or indirectly from the cracking of recycle content pyrolysis oil and/or gas. The cracking of the pyrolysis oil can be conducted in a gas furnace or a split furnace.

An H.sub.2-rich fuel gas production plant comprising a syngas production unit can be advantageously integrated with an olefins production plant comprising a steam cracker in at least one of the following: (i) fuel gas supply and consumption; (ii) feed supply and consumption; and (iii) steam supply and consumption, to achieve considerable savings in capital and operational costs, enhanced energy efficiency, and reduced CO.sub.2 emissions, compared to operating the plants separately.

The present invention relates to a process for producing olefins from a hydrocarbon feedstock 11 having a sulfur content of at least 0.1 weight %, an initial boiling point of at least 180° C. and a final boiling point of at least 600° C.

A recycle content oxo glycol and method of making a recycle content oxo glycol wherein the recycle content is derived directly or indirectly from the cracking of recycle content pyrolysis oil and/or gas. The cracking of the pyrolysis oil can be conducted in a gas furnace or a split furnace.

A recycle content propanol and method of making a recycle content propanol wherein the recycle content is derived directly or indirectly from the cracking of recycle content pyrolysis oil and/or gas. The cracking of the pyrolysis oil can be conducted in a gas furnace or a split furnace.

Provided is a continuous process for converting waste plastic into recycle for polypropylene 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 naphtha/diesel fraction, a heavy fraction, and char. Pyrolysis oil and wax, comprising naphtha/diesel and heavy fractions, is passed to a refinery FCC unit. A liquid petroleum gas C.sub.3 olefin/paraffin mixture is recovered from the FCC unit. The C.sub.3 paraffins and C.sub.3 olefins are separated into different fractions with the C.sub.3 olefin fraction passed to a propylene polymerization reactor, and the C.sub.3 paraffin fraction passed optionally to a dehydrogenation unit to produce additional propylene.
