Abstract
Systems and methods for the production of petroleum products from crude oil are disclosed. A system can include a crude oil processing unit, a steam cracking, and a gaseous hydrocarbon separation unit coupled to the crude oil processing unit and steam cracking unit. Naphtha and/or light hydrocarbons can be separated in the gaseous hydrocarbon separation unit and further processed in the steam cracking unit or stored for future processing.
Claims16
A system for the production of hydrocarbon products, the system comprising:
- a crude oil processing unit capable of producing a gaseous hydrocarbon stream comprising hydrocarbons having a boiling point less than 200° C., a gas oil stream, and a heavy hydrocarbon stream;
- a gaseous hydrocarbon separation unit capable of receiving the gaseous hydrocarbon stream comprising hydrocarbons having a boiling point less than 200° C. produced from the crude oil processing unit and capable of producing a naphtha stream, a gaseous stream comprising C4 hydrocarbons, and a C2-C3 hydrocarbon stream;
- a steam cracking unit capable of receiving the C2-C3 hydrocarbon unit and cracking the C2-C3 hydrocarbon stream to produce ethylene and propylene;
- a storage unit coupled to the gaseous hydrocarbon separation unit and capable of receiving the gaseous stream comprising C4 hydrocarbons;
- and
- a storage unit coupled to the gaseous hydrocarbon separation unit and capable of receiving the naphtha.

A process for the production of hydrocarbons, the process comprising:
- (a) subjecting a crude oil hydrocarbon feed to conditions sufficient to produce a gaseous hydrocarbon stream comprising hydrocarbons have a boiling point less than 200° C., a gas oil stream, and a heavy hydrocarbon stream;
- (b) in a gaseous hydrocarbon unit, separating the gaseous hydrocarbon stream comprising hydrocarbons have a boiling point less than 200° C. into a C2-C3 hydrocarbon stream, a C4 hydrocarbon stream, and a naphtha stream;
- (c) in a steam cracking unit, subjecting the C2-C3 hydrocarbons to conditions sufficient to produce an ethylene product stream and a propylene product stream;
- and
- (d) storing the C4 hydrocarbon stream and the naphtha stream.
