Method for processing liquefied waste polymers

A method for processing liquefied waste plastic (LWP), the method comprising the following steps:

• a) providing an LWP stream containing diolefins and naphtha;
• b) subjecting the LWP stream to a steam stripper to obtain a distillate containing diolefins and naphtha, and a distillate bottom;
• c) subjecting the distillate to hydrotreatment reaction conditions in a presence of hydrogen and one or more hydrotreatment catalysts to produce diolefin depleted distillate, wherein the hydrotreatment reaction conditions include a temperature of 120-210° C., a pressure of 1-50 barg, and a liquid hourly space velocity (LHSV) of 1-5 h−1, and the one or more hydrotreatment catalysts are selected from CoMo and NiMo;
• d) separating the diolefin depleted distillate to:
• one or more fractions including:
• at least a naphtha fraction with a boiling point below 180° C. at atmospheric pressure,
• an optional middle fraction with a boiling point between 180° C. and 360° C. at atmospheric pressure;
• and
• a bottom fraction;
• and
• e) subjecting the naphtha fraction of step d) to hydroprocessing reaction conditions in a presence of hydrogen and one or more hydroprocessing catalysts to produce hydrogenated naphtha.
