AI Technical Summary
Existing petrochemical production processes are inefficient in converting heavy hydrocarbon fractions into olefins and aromatics, particularly when using poor quality feedstocks, and lack flexibility in adjusting output based on market demands.
A multi-step process involving atmospheric distillation, fluid catalytic cracking, fixed-bed hydrocracking, steam cracking, and catalytic reforming, along with optional hydrotreatment and oligomerization, to convert a majority of the hydrocarbon feedstock into petrochemical bases, allowing for flexible production of olefins and aromatics based on market demands.
The process achieves a yield of over 70% petrochemical bases, with high flexibility to adjust production towards olefins or aromatics, and optimizes the use of all hydrocarbon fractions, maximizing the production of desired products.
