Abstract

Processes and systems for making recycle content hydrocarbons, including olefins, from recycled waste material. Recycle waste material may be pyrolyzed to form recycle content pyrolysis oil composition (r-pyoil), at least a portion of which may then be cracked to form a recycle content olefin composition (r-olefin). The r-olefin may then be further separated into product streams in a separation zone downstream of the cracker furnace. In some cases, presence of recycle content hydrocarbons may facilitate more efficient operation of one or more distillation columns in the separation zone, including the demethanizer.

Claims (15)

1. A process for separating methane and lighter components from an olefin-containing stream, said process comprising:

(a) introducing a column feed stream into a demethanizer column, wherein said column feed stream comprises a recycle content C2 to C4 olefin composition; and

(b) separating said column feed stream in said demethanizer column into an overhead stream enriched in methane and lighter components and a bottoms stream depleted in methane and lighter components,

wherein the ratio of the weight of methane and lighter components in said overhead stream to the total weight of ethylene and heavier component in said column feed stream is at least 0.1% higher than said column feed stream without said recycle content C2 to C4 olefin composition having the same mass flow rate, all other conditions of said demethanizer column being the same; wherein said column feed stream is produced from cracking a feedstock comprising a recycle content pyrolysis oil composition (r-pyoil) in at least one furnace coil of a cracker furnace to provide an olefin containing effluent; wherein said olefin-containing stream comprises a majority of ethylene and/or propylene; and wherein a portion of said olefin-stream is used to produce said column feed stream; and wherein said r-pyoil has not been hydrogenated.

2. The process of claim 1 , wherein the methane and lighter components are present in the overhead stream in an amount of at least 5 weight percent and/or not more than 95 weight percent, based on the total weight of the stream.

3. The process of claim 1 , wherein the methane and lighter components are present in the bottoms stream in an amount of at least 0.01 weight percent and/or not more than 10 weight percent, based on the total weight of the stream.

4. The process of claim 1 , wherein the overhead stream comprises at least 50 percent by weight of the total amount of methane and lighter components introduced into the demethanizer column from the column feed stream.

5. The process of claim 1 , wherein the overhead stream comprises at least 70 percent by weight of the total amount of methane and lighter components introduced into the demethanizer column from the column feed stream.

6. The process of claim 1 , wherein the bottoms stream comprises at least 50 percent by weight of the total amount of ethylene and heavier components introduced into the demethanizer column from the column feed stream.

7. The process of claim 1 , wherein the overhead stream comprises not more than 50 percent by weight of the total amount of ethylene and heavier components introduced into the demethanizer column from the column feed stream.

8. The process of claim 1 , wherein the bottoms stream comprises not more than 50 percent by weight of the total amount of methane and lighter components introduced into the demethanizer column from the column feed stream.

9. The process of claim 1 , wherein said recycle content C2 to C4 olefin composition is present in the feed stream in an amount of at least 5, and/or not more than 99 weight percent, based on the total weight of the feed stream.

10. The process of claim 1 , wherein the column feed stream includes methane and lighter components in an amount of at least 1 and/or not more than 50 weight percent, based on the total weight of the feed stream.

11. The process of claim 1 , wherein the ratio of the weight of ethylene and heavier components in said overhead stream to the total weight of ethylene and heavier component in said column feed stream is at least 0.1% lower than said column feed stream without said recycle content C2 to C4 olefin composition having the same mass flow rate, all other conditions of said demethanizer column being the same.

12. The process of claim 1 , wherein the ratio of the weight of ethylene and heavier components in said overhead stream to the total weight of ethylene and heavier component in said column feed stream is at least 0.5% lower than said cracker feed stream without said recycle content C2 to C4 composition having the same mass flow rate, all other conditions of said demethanizer column being the same.
