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 the-pyoil is present in said feedstock in an amount of not more than 20% by weight, based on the total weight of the feedstock.

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 debutanizer.

Abstract: A predominantly C2 to C4 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 a first coil while a second cracker feed with none of the r-pyoil or less of the r-pyoil is fed to a second coil, and both are cracked in a cracker furnace to form an olefin-containing effluent stream. Alternatively, the r-pyoil can be fed and distributed across multiple coils along with the non-recycle cracker feed. The furnace can be a gas fed furnace, or split cracker furnace. Further, a first cracker stream with r-pyoil in a first coil can have a lower total molar flow rate than a second cracker stream in a second coil in the same furnace.

Abstract: Olefins are made by passing a cracker stream through a convection section of a cracker furnace; introducing steam and a stream comprising a recycle content pyrolysis oil into the cracker stream to form a combined stream, and the steam, r-pyoil stream, or both are introduced downstream of the inlet to the convection section, such as between the inlet to the coils and the radiant zone, or at the cross-over. Additionally, dilution steam can be added to a stream of r-pyrolysis to form a steam-diluted r-pyoil stream which is then introduced into a cracker furnace at any location, such as downstream of the inlets to the convection box or at a cross-over.

The method for making olefins includes: (a) combining a predominantly C5 to C22 hydrocarbon stream with a recycle content pyrolysis oil composition (r-pyoil) to provide a combined cracker stream; and (b) cracking the combined cracker stream in a cracker furnace to provide an olefin-containing effluent stream, wherein the combined cracker stream contains steam at a steam-to-hydrocarbon ratio greater than 0.60:1. There is also provided a cracker stream including r-pyoil), a predominantly C2 to C4 hydrocarbon composition, and steam at a steam-to-hydrocarbon ratio of at least 0.20:1.
