Abstract: Processes and facilities for producing a recycled content organic chemical compounds directly or indirectly from waste plastic. Processing schemes are described herein for converting waste plastic (or hydrocarbon having recycled content derived from waste plastic) into useful intermediate chemicals and final products. The processing schemes may comprise a process for reforming a recycled content pyrolysis oil (r-pyoil) stream to produce a reformate comprising recycled content aromatics (r-aromatics). In some aspects, the r-aromatics can be processed to provide recycled content paraxylene (r-paraxylene), which can then be used to provide recycled content terephthalic acid (r-TPA) and/or recycled content polyethylene terephthalate (r-PET).

Abstract: Processes and facilities for producing a recycled content hydrocarbon product directly or indirectly from waste plastic. Processing schemes are described herein for converting waste plastic (or hydrocarbon having recycled content derived from waste plastic) to recycle content alkanes by feeding a recycled-content pyrolysis gas stream to an unsaturated gas plant of a refinery complex and recovering recycled-content alkanes streams from the unsaturated gas plant. The recycle-content alkanes can be subjected to alkylation and/or catalytic olefin oligomerization process and/or fed to a steam cracking facility and processed therein to produce a recycled-content pyrolysis gasoline stream, which in turn is fed to and processed within an aromatics complex to produce a recycled-content p-xylene product stream.
