Provided is a novel synthetic crystalline borongermanosilicate molecular sieve material, designated boron SSZ-113. The boron SSZ-113 can be synthesized using 1,3 bis(2,3-dimethyl-1H-imidazolium) propane dications as a structure directing agent. The boron SSZ-113 may be used in organic compound conversion reactions and/or sorptive processes, and in particular, in reforming reactions.

A catalytic upgrading process includes introducing a feed comprising crude oil to a first catalytic deasphalting reactor to deasphalt the feed, thereby producing polymerized asphaltenes and deasphalted oil (DAO). The DAO is introduced to a steam cracking unit, thereby producing pyrolysis gas (PG), which is introduced into a selective hydrogenation unit, thereby producing an olefin-free product, which can then be introduced to a separation unit. The resulting benzene-toluene-xylenes (BTX)-containing stream and liquid petroleum gas (LPG) are separated, and the BTX-containing stream is introduced to a BTX complex to produce refined BTX. After deasphalting, a wash solvent may be introduced into the first catalytic deasphalting reactor to remove the polymerized asphaltenes, regenerate the catalyst, and produce a mixture comprising the wash solvent and the polymerized asphaltenes. The wash solvent is separated from the polymerized asphaltenes.

The invention relates to an improved apparatus and methods for managing and utilizing light hydrocarbons utilized and created during the hydroprocessing of biological feedstocks in the making of middle distillate fuels.

This disclosure relates to the production of chemicals and plastics using pyrolysis oil from the pyrolysis of plastic waste as a co-feedstock along with a petroleum-based, fossil fuel-based, or bio-based feedstock. In an aspect, the polymers and chemicals produced according to this disclosure can be certified under International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) provisions as circular polymers and chemicals at any point along complex chemical reaction pathways. The use of a mass balance approach which attributes the pounds of pyrolyzed plastic products derived from pyrolysis oil to any output stream of a given unit has been developed, which permits ISCC certification agency approval.

This disclosure relates to the production of chemicals and plastics using pyrolysis oil from the pyrolysis of plastic waste as a co-feedstock along with a petroleum-based or fossil fuel co-feed, or as a feedstock in the absence of a petroleum-based or fossil fuel co-feed. A mass balance accounting approach is employed to attribute the pounds of pyrolyzed plastic products derived from pyrolysis oil to any output stream of a given unit, which permits assigning circular product credit to product streams. In an aspect, the polymers and chemicals produced according to this disclosure can be certified under International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) provisions as circular polymers and chemicals at any point along complex chemical reaction pathways.
