Abstract
The present disclosure provides methods and systems for producing an olefin, such as ethylene and propylene. A method for producing an olefin can comprise injecting an oxidizing agent and methane into an oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) reactor to generate ethylene. The methane and/or additional feedstocks for the OCM reactor can be derived from a thermal cracking or fluidized catalytic cracking (FCC) process. The ethylene generated in the OCM reactor can be converted to propylene through a dimerization unit and metathesis unit.
