Systems and methods of producing olefins via catalytic cracking are disclosed. Hydrocarbons of a naphtha stream are isomerized by converting straight chain Cn hydrocarbons to branched Cn hydrocarbons, thereby forming an isomerized naphtha stream. The isomerized naphtha stream is subsequently fed to a catalytic cracking unit such that the hydrocarbons of the isomerized naphtha stream form olefins. In the catalytic cracking process, the reaction temperature can be kept lower than 680° C., thereby increasing the reactivity and minimizing catalyst deactivation in the catalytic cracking process.

Process of producing light olefins from isomerized straight run naphtha

Systems and methods for the catalytic cracking of light hydrocarbons, such as naphtha, to form light olefins and aromatics is disclosed. The systems and methods may include a catalytic cracking process that involves mixing catalyst with a gas and then this mixture is used to contact a hydrocarbon feed, e.g., light straight run naphtha or heavy straight run naphtha. The hydrocarbon feed may be mixed with dry gas such as methane and/or hydrogen to dilute the hydrocarbon feed, before the hydrocarbon feed is contacted with the catalyst/gas mixture.

Process integration for cracking light paraffinic hydrocarbons

A method that integrates a catalytic cracking process with a crude oil conversion to chemicals process is disclosed. The method may include contacting, in a catalytic cracking reactor, a mixture of the hydrocarbon stream comprising primarily Cand Chydrocarbons from crude oil processing and a Cto Chydrocarbon stream produced in a steam cracking unit with a catalyst under reaction conditions sufficient to produce an effluent comprising olefins.
