SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PARAFFIN CRACKING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18394291 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PARAFFIN CRACKING
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes processes for cracking petroleum products such as paraffin and olefins to increase olefin production. A paraffin-rich feed stream is cracked in an olefin cracking reactor, and light olefins are separated from the effluent stream. A C-C stream from the olefin cracking reactor effluent is then cracked in a paraffin cracking reactor, with the effluent sent back to the olefin cracking reactor.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Cracking of paraffin-rich feed stream in an olefin cracking reactor
- Separation of light olefins from the effluent stream
- Cracking of C-C stream in a paraffin cracking reactor
- Recycling of paraffin cracking reactor effluent back to the olefin cracking reactor
Potential Applications: This technology can be applied in the petroleum industry for increasing the production of light olefins, which are valuable chemical building blocks used in various industries such as plastics, chemicals, and fuels.
Problems Solved: This technology addresses the need for increased olefin production from petroleum products, providing a more efficient and effective cracking process.
Benefits:
- Enhanced production of light olefins
- Improved efficiency in cracking processes
- Potential cost savings in olefin production
Commercial Applications: The technology can be utilized in refineries and petrochemical plants to optimize olefin production processes, potentially leading to increased profitability and competitiveness in the market.
Questions about cracking processes: 1. How does the cracking of paraffin-rich feed streams in an olefin cracking reactor differ from traditional cracking methods? 2. What are the key advantages of separating light olefins from the effluent stream in the cracking process?
Original Abstract Submitted
Processes for cracking petroleum products such as paraffin and olefins to generate light olefins and having increased olefin production are described. A paraffin-rich feed stream is cracked in an olefin cracking reactor. Light olefins are removed from the olefin cracking effluent stream. A C-Cstream from the olefin cracking reactor effluent is cracked in a paraffin cracking reactor, and the paraffin cracking reactor effluent is sent to the olefin cracking reactor.
