    摘要: A process for producing olefins includes subjecting a first feed stream to dehydrogenation to obtain a first product stream, and subjecting part of the first product stream to a first separation sequence. The first separation sequence comprises a first separation step to which part of the first product stream is fed and in which a gas fraction and a liquid fraction are formed. The first separation sequence comprises a second separation step to which part of the liquid fraction is fed and in which the transfer fraction is formed. A second feed stream is subjected to steam cracking to obtain a second product stream. part of which is subjected to crude gas compression and thereafter to a second separation sequence. In the first separation sequence a transfer fraction is formed. At least part of the transfer fraction is transferred to the steam cracking or the crude gas compression.

    摘要: 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 wax comprising a naphtha/diesel and heavy fraction, and char. The pyrolysis oil and wax is passed to a refinery FCC unit from which a liquid petroleum gas C3-C5 olefin/paraffin mixture fraction is recovered. The liquid petroleum gas C3-C5 olefin/paraffin mixture fraction is passed to a refinery alkylation unit, with a propane and butane fraction recovered from the alkylation unit. The propane and butane fraction is then passed to a steam cracker for ethylene production. In another embodiment, a naphtha fraction (C5-C8) is recovered from the alkylation unit and passed to the steam cracker. In another embodiment, a propane/propylene fraction (C3-C3) is recovered from the FCC and passed to the steam cracker.

    摘要: A process for producing olefins by cracking paraffins in the presence of methane. In the conventional steam cracking processes for olefin production, steam is used as a diluent in the feed mixture to the thermal cracker. In the processes provided herein, methane replaces steam as a diluent in the feed mixture to the thermal cracker. Replacing steam with methane as a diluent has a potential for cost savings in the construction and operation of a thermal cracking plant for olefin production. In addition, it leads to a much simpler cracking process compared to the conventional steam cracking technology as in the state of the art.
