PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF LIGHT OLEFINS AND AROMATICS FROM A HYDROCARBON FEEDSTOCK

摘要

The present invention relates to a process for the production of light olefins and aromatics from a hydrocarbon feedstock, comprising the following steps of: (a) feeding a hydrocarbon feedstock into a FCC unit (b) separating reaction products, which are generated from the FCC reaction, into a bottom stream, and middle stream and a top stream; (c) feeding the middle stream from (b) to a gasoline hydrocracker (GHC) unit, (d) separating reaction products of said GHC of step (c) into an overhead gas stream comprising hydrogen, methane and C2-C4 paraffins, and a bottom stream comprising aromatic hydrocarbon compounds, (e) feeding the overhead stream from the gasoline hydrocracker (GHC) unit into a steam cracker unit.
