  • Patent number: 11028329
    Abstract: A method of forming C6-C8 aromatics may include selectively dealkylating a Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) heavy cut naphtha that has at least C9+ aromatics to selectively crack C2+ alkyl chains from the C9+ aromatics, thereby forming the C6-C8 aromatics. The selectively de-alkylated heavy cut naphtha is then combined with a FCC middle cut naphtha, and aromatics including the C6-C8 aromatics are separated from the combined stream. A system for forming C6-C8 aromatics may include a fluid catalytic cracking unit for producing a FCC heavy cut naphtha comprising at least C9+ aromatics; a de-alkylation reactor for selectively cracking C2+ alkyl chains from the C9+ aromatics, thereby forming the C6-C8 aromatics; and an aromatic extraction unit for extracting at least a portion of the C6-C8 aromatics.

  • Patent number: 11001773
    Abstract: A process for treatment of PFO from a steam cracking zone includes selectively hydrogenating PFO or a portion thereof for conversion of polyaromatics compounds contained in the PFO into aromatic compounds with one benzene ring to produce a selectively hydrogenated stream. The selectively hydrogenated stream is selectively hydrocracked for selective ring opening and dealkylation to produce a selectively hydrocracked BTX+ stream. The selectively hydrocracked BTX+ stream is separated into BTX compounds. Optionally the PFO is separated into a first stream containing C9+ aromatics compounds with one benzene ring, and a second stream containing C10+ aromatic compounds, whereby the first stream containing C9+ aromatics compounds with one benzene ring is passed to the selective hydrocracking step, and the feed to the selective hydrogenation step comprises all or a portion of the second stream containing C10+ aromatic compounds.

  • Patent number: 10941356
    Abstract: Increased paraxylene production through the use of a split feed reforming process, wherein hydrotreated naphtha is split into light, middle and heavy fractions. Each fraction is reformed separately to generate streams containing aromatic compounds. These streams can further be processed and can undergo dealkylation, transalkylation, disproportionation, isomerization, and separation steps to maximize paraxylene production. In addition, some streams are recycled or recombined in order to maximize paraxylene production.

  • Publication number: 20210029410
    Abstract: The embodiments of the present application provide a method and an apparatus for releasing a video file, which are applied to a server. The method comprises obtaining a video file to be released; selecting a first preset number of video frames in the video file to be released; generating a target video file from the selected video frames, determining a target display position in a video preview interface for the target video file; and saving a correspondence between the target display position and the target video file such that a first terminal logging in the server can play the target video file at the target display position in the video preview interface based on the correspondence. As can be seen, since the first terminal plays the target video file at the target display position in the video preview interface, the user can get more information about contents of the video file to be released from the target video file, which improves user experience.
