Patent number: 11976245Abstract: Processes herein may be used to thermally crack various hydrocarbon feeds, and may eliminate the refinery altogether while making the crude to chemicals process very flexible in terms of crude. In embodiments herein, crude is progressively separated into at least light and heavy fractions. Depending on the quality of the light and heavy fractions, these are routed to one of three upgrading operations, including a fixed bed hydroconversion unit, a fluidized catalytic conversion unit, or a residue hydrocracking unit that may utilize an ebullated bed reactor. Products from the upgrading operations may be used as feed to a steam cracker.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 2021Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignees: LUMMUS TECHNOLOGY LLC, Saudi Aramco Technologies Company, Chevron Lummus Global LLCInventors: Essam Abdullah Al-Sayed, Ujjal Mukherjee, Kareemuddin Shaik, Pedro Santos, Theodorus Maesen, Mazin Tamimi, Julie Chabot, Ibrahim Abba, Kandasamy Sundaram, Sami Barnawi, Ronald Venner, Raghu Narayan, Meredith Lansdown

Patent number: 11760945Abstract: Systems and processes are disclosed for producing petrochemical products, such as ethylene, propene and other olefins from crude oil in high severity fluid catalytic cracking (HSFCC) units. Processes include separating a crude oil into a light fraction and a heavy fraction, cracking the light fraction and heavy fraction in separation separate cracking reaction zones, and regenerating the cracking catalysts in a two-zone having a first regeneration zone for the first catalyst (heavy fraction) and a second regeneration zone for the second catalyst (light fraction) separate from the first regeneration zone. Flue gas from the first catalyst regeneration zone is passed to the second regeneration zone to provide additional heat to raise the temperature of the second catalyst of the light fraction side. The disclosed systems and processes enable different catalysts and operating conditions to be utilized for the light fraction and the heavy fraction of a crude oil feed.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2020Date of Patent: September 19, 2023Assignee: Saudi Arabian Oil CompanyInventors: Abdennour Bourane, Raed Abudawoud, Ibrahim Abba
