    Abstract: Systems and methods for processing a mixed plastic waste feed to produce a hydrogen-rich hydrocarbon product, such as synthetic crude oil or pyrolysis oil, by processing the mixed plastic waste feed through two cracking units. The first cracking unit is operated at a temperature and a residence time sufficient to at least partially depolymerize the plastic polymers in the mixed plastic waste feed to produce a molten oligomers product stream also containing inorganic components from the mixed plastic waste feed and a gas stream. This molten oligomers product stream is further processed in a thermal or a catalytic cracking unit to produce a hydrocarbonaceous stream that is processed to produce the hydrogen-rich hydrocarbon product, such as a synthetic crude oil that can be processed in a refinery or a pyrolysis oil that can be fed to a steam cracker.

    Abstract: A process for producing propylene and cumene comprising converting plastics to hydrocarbon liquid and pyrolysis gas in pyrolyzer; feeding hydrocarbon liquid to hydroprocessor to yield hydrocarbon product and first gas stream; introducing hydrocarbon product to second separator to produce first C6 aromatics and refined product; feeding refined product to steam cracker to produce steam cracker product; introducing steam cracker product to third separator to produce second C6 aromatics, third propylene stream, second C2&C4 unsaturated stream, C1-4 saturated gas, and balance hydrocarbons product; introducing pyrolysis gas and/or first gas stream to first separator to produce first propylene stream, first C2&C4 unsaturated stream, and saturated gas stream; feeding first and/or second C2&C4 unsaturated stream to metathesis reactor to produce second propylene stream; feeding first and/or second C6 aromatics, and first, second, and/or third propylene stream to alkylation unit to produce cumene; and conveying balance hydrocarbons product to pyrolyzer and/or hydroprocessor.
