[0003] In the process of refinery transformation to chemical industry, a large number of oil refining and chemical technologies have rapidly developed and been applied in industry, such as heavy oil catalytic cracking technology, distillate conversion technology, aromatics production technology, and light hydrocarbon comprehensive utilization technology. These technologies make full use of the differences in the properties of different crude oil fractions and achieve the goal of "reducing oil and increasing chemicals" from different resource processing and utilization, and have become the key supporting technology for refinery transformation to chemical industry. For the overall process of a refining and chemical enterprise, the single technology advantage has a very limited impact on the overall efficiency of the plant. Only by integrating multiple single key technologies from a global perspective and optimizing the overall process of the plant can we truly achieve more efficient and more rational use of resources, achieve more optimized product structure and quality, and better support the petrochemical industry to develop towards higher quality.
