PROCESS FOR CONVERTING NAPHTHA TO PARAFFINS WITH HYDROCRACKED CHARGE STREAMS

Abstract: a process for converting naphtha is disclosed. the process comprises contacting a naphtha stream with a catalyst and hydrogen to produce a light paraffinic stream. the light paraffinic stream is separated into an ethane stream and a propane stream. the ethane stream is thermally cracked to produce ethylene and a pyrolysis gasoline by-product stream. the pyrolysis gasoline stream is hydrocracked to provide a cracked naphtha stream. the cracked naphtha stream may be contacted with a catalyst and hydrogen with the naphtha stream.
