Process for Hydrocracking of Hydrocarbon Streams and Pyrolysis Oils

摘要

A process for hydrocracking of a hydrocarbon stream includes contacting the hydrocarbon stream with a hydroprocessing catalyst in the presence of hydrogen to yield a hydrocarbon product which meets steam cracker requirements for boiling end point, and in additional embodiments, chloride content and olefin content.

1. A process for hydrocracking a hydrocarbon stream comprising:
contacting the hydrocarbon stream with a hydroprocessing catalyst in the presence of hydrogen to yield a hydrocarbon product, wherein the hydrocarbon stream comprises heavy hydrocarbon molecules and one or more sulphides; and recovering a treated hydrocarbon stream from the hydrocarbon product, wherein a concentration of the heavy hydrocarbon molecules in the treated hydrocarbon stream is less than a concentration of the heavy hydrocarbon molecules in the hydrocarbon stream due to hydrocracking of at least a portion of the heavy hydrocarbon molecules from the hydrocarbon stream during the step of contacting.
