  • Publication number: 20250354075
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for co-processing plastic waste in a coker as part of an integrated refinery environment that produces kerosene, jet fuel, and/or jet fuel blending components as a product. The co-processing can be performed in a fluidized coker, a delayed coker, or a combination of fluidized cokers and delayed cokers. After coking, hydroprocessing can be performed on one or more portions of the coker effluent that contribute to formation of the kerosene, jet fuel, and/or jet fuel blending component product(s). The hydroprocessing can be used to reduce or minimize the presence of unexpected nitrogen contaminants in the resulting kerosene, jet fuel, and/or jet fuel blending component product(s).

  • Publication number: 20250346819
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for integration of polymeric waste co-processing in cokers to produce circular chemical products from coker gas oil, including a method of producing circular chemical products comprising: providing a coker gas oil that is at least partially derived from polymeric waste, wherein the coker gas oil has a paraffin content of about 5 wt % to about 50 wt %, a sulfur content of about 0.1 wt % to about 7 wt %, and a halide content of about 0.1 wppm to about 5 wppm; and converting the coker gas oil into at least a polymer.

  • Publication number: 20250326972
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for integration of polymeric waste co-processing in cokers to produce circular chemical products from coker gas, including a method of producing circular chemical products comprising: providing a coker gas that is at least partially derived from polymeric waste, wherein the coker gas has an olefin content of about 10 wt % to about 30 wt %, a sulfur content of about 0.5 wt % to about 5 wt %, and a total halide content of about 1 wppm to about 150 wppm; and oxygen-containing compounds in an amount of about 0.5 wt % to about 15 wt %; and converting the coker gas into at least a polymer.
