Method of producing pyrolysis products from mixed plastics along with an associated system for processing mixed plastics. The method includes conducting pyrolysis of a plastic feedstock to produce plastic pyrolysis oil; feeding the plastic pyrolysis oil to a first fractionator to separate the plastic pyrolysis oil into a distillate fraction including naphtha and diesel and a vacuum gas oil fraction; and feeding the distillate fraction to a three step hydrotreating operation. The three step hydrotreating operation includes feeding the distillate fraction to a first hydrotreating unit to remove di-olefins to produce a first product stream, feeding the first product stream to a second hydrotreating unit to remove mono-olefins to produce a second product stream; and feeding the second product stream to a third hydrotreating unit to remove sulfur and nitrogen by hydrodesulfurization and hydrodenitrogenation to produce a third product stream. Such system may be integrated with a conventional refinery.
