Abstract

A hydrocarbon cracker stream is combined with recycle content pyrolysis oil to form a combined cracker stream and the combined cracker stream is cracked in a cracker furnace to provide an olefin-containing effluent. The r-pyoil can be fed to the cracker feed. More specifically cracking the cracker feedstock in said cracker furnace to provide an olefin-containing effluent stream; wherein the hydrocarbon composition is predominantly ethane.

Claims (11)

1 . A method of making one or more olefins, said method comprising:

(a) introducing into a steam cracker furnace, a cracker feedstock comprising a first cracker feed stream comprising a recycle content pyrolysis oil composition (r-pyoil) and a second cracker feed stream comprising a non-recycle predominantly C2 to C4 hydrocarbon composition, wherein said hydrocarbon composition is at least 80 weight percent ethane, based on the total weight of the hydrocarbon composition; wherein a combined weight of said cracker feedstock comprises at least 5% and not more than 30% r-pyoil by weight, and wherein said introducing comprises introducing said first cracker feed stream into a first coil of said steam cracker furnace and introducing said second cracker feed stream into a second coil of said steam cracker furnace; and

(b) separately cracking said first and second cracker feedstocks in said steam cracker furnace to provide an olefin-containing effluent stream.

2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising, prior to said introducing, combining said r-pyoil with a predominantly C5 to C22 composition to form said first cracker feed stream.

3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein said introducing includes introducing said cracker feedstock comprising said r-pyoil into a cross-over zone in said steam cracker furnace.

4 . The method of claim 3 , wherein said introducing includes introducing said cracker feedstock comprising said r-pyoil into a convection section of said steam cracker furnace.

5 . The method of claim 4 , wherein said steam cracker furnace is a split furnace.

6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein said split furnace includes a single convection section and two or more radiant sections.

7 . The method of 6 , wherein at least 1 weight percent of said r-pyoil is obtained from the pyrolysis of recycled waste.

8 . The method of 7 , wherein not more than 95 weight percent of said r-pyoil is obtained from the pyrolysis of recycled waste.

9 . The method of claim 8 , wherein said recycled waste comprises waste plastics, waste textiles, waste carpet fibers, waste modified cellulose, waste biomass, post-industrial waste streams, intermediate industrial waste streams, or combinations thereof.
