Abstract: Provided in one embodiment is a continuous process for converting waste plastic into recycle for polyethylene polymerization. The process comprises selecting waste plastics containing polyethylene and/or polypropylene, and passing the waste plastics through a pyrolysis reactor to thermally crack at least a portion of the polyolefin waste and produce a pyrolyzed effluent. The pyrolyzed effluent is separated into offgas, a pyrolysis oil and optionally pyrolysis wax comprising a naphtha/diesel fraction and heavy fraction, and char. The pyrolysis oil and wax is passed to a refinery FCC feed pretreater unit. A heavy fraction is recovered and sent to a refinery FCC unit, from which a C3 olefin/paraffin mixture fraction is recovered, which is passed to a steam cracker for ethylene production. In another embodiment, a propane fraction (C3) is recovered from a propane/propylene splitter and passed to the steam cracker.

The pyrolyzed effluent is separated into offgas, a pyrolysis oil and optionally wax comprising a naphtha/diesel and heavy fraction, and char. The pyrolysis oil is passed to a refinery FCC unit from which a liquid petroleum gas C3 olefin/paraffin mixture fraction is recovered, as well as a C4 olefin/paraffin mixture fraction. The liquid petroleum gas C3 olefin/paraffin mixture fraction is passed to a steam cracker for ethylene production. The C4 olefin/paraffin mixture fraction is passed to a refinery alkylation unit, from which a n-butane and naphtha feed for a stream cracker to produce ethylene is recovered.

Abstract: A process is provided for upgrading a renewable feedstock. The process includes introducing the renewable feedstock into a fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) reactor unit operating under catalytic cracking conditions and comprising a circulating inventory of an equilibrium catalyst composition; removing a portion of the equilibrium catalyst inventory from the FCC reactor unit while replacing all the equilibrium catalyst removed from the unit with a spent catalyst to obtain a composite circulating catalyst within the FCC reactor unit; and contacting the composite circulating catalyst with the renewable feedstock in the FCC reactor unit under a steady state environment to provide a product stream comprising cracked products.
