Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A process for increasing light olefin yields from the fluidized catalytic cracking process. The process combines small units to treat the paraffinic components in the product streams from the fluidized cracking process. The paraffins are dehydrogenated and light olefins are separated. Heavier olefins are passed to an olefin cracking unit for increasing the yields of ethylene and propylene.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A process for converting a hydrocarbon stream to light olefins, comprising: passing a hydrocarbon stream to a fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) unit, thereby creating a cracked effluent stream; separating the cracked effluent stream, thereby creating a first process stream comprising light olefins, and a second process stream comprising olefins and paraffins in the C4 to C12 range; passing the second stream to an olefin cracking reactor, thereby creat…
