Abstract:
Systems and processes for producing olefins and aromatics. A process can include contacting a first hydrocarbon feed with a catalyst and a hydrogen source under conditions sufficient to produce a used catalyst and an intermediate stream containing olefins and aromatics, and contacting the used catalyst with the intermediate stream and a coke precursor feed to produce a spent coked catalyst and a products stream comprising additional olefins and aromatics.
Abstract:
A robust integrated process for the conversion of waste plastics to high value products. The robust integrated process allows for operation with a single hydroprocessing reactor which provides simultaneous hydrogenation, dechlorination, and hydrocracking of components of a hydrocarbon stream to specifications which meet steam cracker requirements, with the option to further dechlorinate the treated hydrocarbon stream in a polishing zone.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for producing olefins and/or aromatics are disclosed. Methods disclosed includes thermal hydro-processing of crude oils and/or heavy oils and/or residues, in a thermal hydro-processing unit, to produce intermediate products, which can then be used to make valuable chemicals such as olefins and aromatics.

Abstract:
A process for producing C6 to C8 aromatics and optionally light gas olefins from crude oil and/or pyrolysis oil is disclosed. The process can include hydroprocessing a first stream containing hydrocarbons from the crude oil and/or pyrolysis oil to obtain a second stream containing saturated hydrocarbons having boiling point less than 350° C., separating the second stream to obtain a third stream containing hydrocarbons having boiling point less than 70° C., a fourth stream containing hydrocarbons having boiling point 70° C. to 140° C., and a fifth stream containing hydrocarbons having boiling point greater than 140° C., recycling at least a portion of the fifth stream to the hydroprocessing step, reforming the fourth stream to obtain a sixth stream containing C6 to C8 aromatics, and optionally cracking the third stream to obtain light gas olefins.
