Production of btx aromatics and light gas olefins from crude oil and plastic pyrolysis oil

Abstract

A process for producing C6 to C8 aromatics and optionally light gas olefins from crude oil and/or pyrolysis oil is disclosed. The process can include hydroprocessing a first stream containing hydrocarbons from the crude oil and/or pyrolysis oil to obtain a second stream containing saturated hydrocarbons having boiling point less than 350° C., separating the second stream to obtain a third stream containing hydrocarbons having boiling point less than 70° C., a fourth stream containing hydrocarbons having boiling point 70° C. to 140° C., and a fifth stream containing hydrocarbons having boiling point greater than 140° C., recycling at least a portion of the fifth stream to the hydroprocessing step, reforming the fourth stream to obtain a sixth stream containing C6 to C8 aromatics, and optionally cracking the third stream to obtain light gas olefins.
