The present invention relates to a process for converting the waste plastics along with the petroleum feedstock in a Catalytic Cracking Unit, in particular a Fluid Catalytic Cracking Unit employed in petroleum refineries. The invention also provides a method and hardware system to enable waste plastic to fuel conversion along with hydrocarbon catalytic cracking. The invented process aims to convert any type of waste plastic including polystyrene, polypropylene, polyethylene, metal containing Polyethylene-Polypropylene multilayer plastics & other metal containing plastics along with the petroleum derived feedstock such as vacuum gas oil, reduced crude oil, vacuum residue etc. in catalytic cracking unit.

Process for co-conversion of waste plastics and hydrocarbon feedstock

The present invention provides a process for a production of light olefins and aromatics from cracked light naphtha by selective cracking. The present invention thus provides a process for up grading cracked olefinic naphtha to high value petrochemical feed stocks. This process is based on catalytic cracking in which the catalyst activity is optimized by depositing coke for production of light olefins and aromatics. The proposed process has high flexibility and can be operated either in maximizing olefins as reflected from the PIE ratio or in maximizing aromatics (BTX) at different modes of operation depending upon the product requirement.
