INTEGRATED HYDROPROCESSING, STEAM PYROLYSIS AND SLURRY HYDROPROCESSING OF CRUDE OIL TO PRODUCE PETROCHEMICALS

摘要

Crude oil is charged to a hydroprocessing zone in the presence of hydrogen operating under conditions effective to produce a hydroprocessed effluent, which is thermally cracked in the presence of steam in a steam pyrolysis zone to produce a mixed product stream. Heavy components, which are derived from one or more of the hydroprocessed effluent, a heated stream within the steam pyrolysis zone, or the mixed product stream catalytically cracking are charged to a slurry hydroprocessing zone to produce a slurry intermediate product which is then thermally cracked. Olefins and aromatics are recovered from the separated mixed product stream as product.
