FLEXIBLE PROCESS FOR ENHANCING STEAM CRACKER AND PLATFORMING FEEDSTOCKS

摘要

A process for increasing the yields of light olefins or shifting to increase the hydrocarbon components to gasoline blending pools from a hydrocarbon feedstock is presented. The process includes separating a naphtha feedstock to components to a first stream that are more readily processed in a cracking unit and to components in a second stream that are more readily processed in a reforming unit. The process includes the ability to convert components from the cracking stream to the reforming stream, and to convert components from the reforming stream to the cracking stream.
