Patent ID: 11807818

Abstract:
In accordance with one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, a process for converting diesel to products comprising light olefins, benzene-toluene-xylenes (BTX), fluid catalytically cracked naphtha, pyrolysis gasoline, and pyrolysis fuel oil includes: introducing a diesel feedstream to a diesel hydrodesulfurization unit to produce a desulfurized diesel stream; introducing the desulfurized diesel stream to a fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) unit to produce the fluid catalytically cracked naphtha, a light gas stream, and a cycle oils stream; introducing the fluid catalytically cracked naphtha to an aromatic recovery complex to produce the BTX and an aromatic bottoms stream; and introducing a paraffinic fraction of the light gas stream to a steam cracking unit to produce a light olefins stream, the pyrolysis gasoline, and the pyrolysis fuel oil.
