Condensate feedstock treatment process

By separating the condensate feedstock into light and heavy fractions and processing them separately, the problems of coke formation and scaling caused by cycloalkanes and aromatics in the condensate were solved, enabling efficient conversion into high-value chemicals and fuels.

AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The high content of cycloalkanes and aromatics in the condensate feedstock exacerbates coke formation and scaling in the steam cracking unit, limiting its effective utilization.

Method used

By separating the condensate feedstock into light and heavy fraction streams, only the heavy fraction stream is processed by fluidized catalytic cracking (FCC), while the light fraction stream bypasses FCC and is used for other downstream processing, such as gasoline production or steam cracking units.

Benefits of technology

It improves the conversion rate of condensate, increasing the production of high-value products such as chemicals and fuels, including gasoline, diesel, light olefins, and aromatics.

Abstract

A method of processing a condensate feedstock can include: delivering the condensate feedstock to a first separation unit and separating the condensate feedstock into at least a light ends stream and a heavy ends stream. Another method of processing a condensate feedstock can include: delivering the condensate feedstock to a first separation unit and separating the condensate feedstock into at least a light ends stream, a middle distillate stream, and a heavy ends stream. Various downstream processing steps are further disclosed.
