Abstract:
A process for treatment of PFO from a steam cracking zone includes selectively hydrogenating PFO or a portion thereof for conversion of polyaromatics compounds contained in the PFO into aromatic compounds with one benzene ring to produce a selectively hydrogenated stream. The selectively hydrogenated stream is reacted in a fluid catalytic cracking reactor for selective ring opening and dealkylation to produce fluid catalytic cracking including light cycle oil. In addition, a naphtha reformer is integrated, so that light cycle oil and a reformate stream are separated into BTX compounds. Optionally the PFO is separated into a first stream containing C9+ aromatics compounds with one benzene ring, and a second stream containing C10+ aromatic compounds, whereby the first stream containing C9+ aromatics compounds with one benzene ring is passed to the fluid catalytic cracking reactor, and the feed to the selective hydrogenation step comprises all or a portion of the second stream containing C10+ aromatic compounds.
