Processes and systems for making recycle content hydrocarbons, including olefins, using a cracker furnace having enhanced coil design. In some cases, the design of the furnace may prevent coking, so that the run length of the furnace is longer than conventional cracking furnaces. Cracker feed streams to the furnace can include recycle content pyrolysis oil and may be used to form olefin-containing effluent stream having recycle content.

A method for combined production of renewable paraffinic products is disclosed, wherein the method includes providing a renewable paraffinic feed, and fractionating the renewable paraffinic feed into two fractions. Within the two fractions, a lighter fraction fulfils a specification for an aviation fuel component, and a heavier fraction fulfils a specification for an electrotechnical fluid component.

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.

A pyrolysis method and system are provided that utilizes a multistage dehalogenation method to effectively remove halogen-containing compounds that are present in an initial recycled plastic feedstock. More particularly, the multistage dehalogenation system and process may involve physical sorting the plastic feedstock, melting and separating the feedstock, and subjecting the feedstock a two-stage pyrolysis with intermediate HCl removal.

A phosphorus-containing molecular sieve has a phosphorus content of about 0.3-5 wt %, a pore volume of about 0.2-0.95 ml/g, and a ratio of B acid content to L acid content of about 2-10. The molecular sieve has a specific combination of characteristics, including a high ratio of B acid content to L acid content, thereby exhibiting higher hydrocracking activity and ring-opening selectivity when used in the preparation of a hydrocracking catalyst.

Direct steam injection (DSI) heating techniques can use a heater to heat a process stream in bitumen froth treatment. The DSI heater can include a diffuser with multiple side-by-side rows of outlets perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the diffuser, and a piston plug that moves axially within the diffuser to selectively cover rows of outlets to vary steam injection. The piston plug has first and second annular seals and is moved between different axial positions in a stepwise fashion such that when one or more rows of outlets are completely covered, the first annular seal is located in between adjacent rows and the second annular seal abuts against the diffuser to inhibit passage of steam so as to prevent cavitation. The DSI heater can include various other features, such as particular seal unit constructions and diffuser outlet configurations.

A method for producing light aromatics, includes the steps of: i) contacting a feedstock comprising heavy aromatic(s) with a catalyst in a fluidized reactor for aromatics lightening reaction in the presence of hydrogen to obtain a product rich in C6-C8 light aromatic(s) and a spent catalyst, wherein the heavy aromatic is one or more selected from C9+ aromatics; ii) separating the resulted product rich in C6-C8 light aromatic(s) to obtain hydrogen, a non-aromatic component, C6-C8 light aromatic(s) and a C9+ aromatic component; and iii) recycling at least a part of the C9+ aromatic component to the fluidized reactor. The method has strong adaptability to feedstocks and high flexibility in operation and allows a long-period stable operation. The method can produce high-value light aromatics from heavy aromatics that are difficult to be treated and utilized.

There is provided a process for producing hydrocarbon material from a hydrocarbon material precursor which includes free fatty acid material, comprising: supplying a hydrocarbon material precursor-comprising feed material to a conversion zone, with effect that the hydrocarbon material precursor-comprising feed material is converted to a gaseous hydrocarbon material-comprising product; condensing a portion of the gaseous hydrocarbon material-comprising product such that a condensed hydrocarbon material-comprising product is obtained; and recycling the condensed hydrocarbon material-comprising product to the conversion zone as a reflux; wherein the condensing is effected in response to emplacement of the gaseous hydrocarbon material-comprising product in heat transfer communication with a heat sink disposed externally of the conversion zone.

A highly active hydroprocessing catalyst that comprises an inorganic oxide support particle having been impregnated with a metals-impregnation solution comprising a complexing agent and a hydrogenation metal that is further incorporated with an organic additive blend.

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.
