Patent number: 12098338Abstract: 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. Alternatively, the r-pyoil with a predominantly c8+ fraction can be fed to the cracker feed. The furnace can be a gas fed furnace, or split cracker furnace.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2022Date of Patent: September 24, 2024Assignee: Eastman Chemical CompanyInventors: Daryl Bitting, Kenny Randolph Parker, Michael Gary Polasek, David Eugene Slivensky, Xianchun Wu, Jerome Leonard Stavinoha, Jr.

Publication number: 20240309276Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 8, 2024Publication date: September 19, 2024Applicant: Eastman Chemical CompanyInventors: Daryl Bitting, Kenny Randolph Parker, Michael Gary Polasek, David Eugene Slivensky, Xianchun Wu, Jerome Leonard Stavinoha, JR.
