CONVERSION OF WASTE PLASTIC DERIVED PYROLYSIS OIL INTO n-PARAFFIN RICH STEAM CRACKER FEEDSTOCK

A process for the conversion of waste plastic derived pyrolysis oil into steam cracker feedstock comprising:

• a) providing waste plastic derived pyrolysis oil to a hydrotreatment stage;
• b) hydrotreating the waste plastic derived pyrolysis oils, which results in a hydrocarbon product comprising at least 30 wt. % normal paraffins;
• c) separating the effluent of the hydrotreatment stage;
• d) providing a portion of the effluent of the hydrotreatment stage to a hydrocracking stage;
• e) providing a portion of the effluent to a steam cracker;
• f) cracking the heavy product effluent;
• g) separating the effluent of the hydrocracking stage;
• and
• h) providing a portion of the effluent of the hydrocracking stage to said steam cracker.
