    Abstract: A process for producing cumene comprising converting plastics to hydrocarbon liquid and pyrolysis gas; feeding hydrocarbon liquid to hydroprocessor to yield hydrocarbon product and first gas stream; feeding hydrocarbon product to reforming unit to produce reforming product, second gas stream, and hydrogen; separating reforming product into non-aromatics recycle stream and second aromatics stream (C6+ aromatics); recycling non-aromatics recycle stream to reforming unit; separating second aromatics stream into benzene, C7, C8, C9, C10, and C11+ aromatics; contacting C7, C9, and/or C10 aromatics with a disproportionation&transalkylation catalyst/H2 to yield benzene&xylenes; conveying C11+ aromatics to hydroprocessor; introducing pyrolysis gas, first and/or second gas stream to first separator to produce first propylene stream, first C2&C4 unsaturated stream, and saturated gas (H2 and C1-4 saturated hydrocarbons); introducing first C2&C4 unsaturated stream to metathesis reactor to produce second propylene stream; and feeding benzene, and first and/or second propylene stream to alkylation unit to produce cumene.

    Abstract: A process for producing olefins and aromatics comprising converting plastics to a hydrocarbon product comprising a gas phase and a liquid phase in a pyrolysis unit; separating the hydrocarbon product into a hydrocarbon gas stream comprising the gas phase and a hydrocarbon liquid stream comprising the liquid phase; feeding the hydrocarbon gas stream to a gas steam cracker to produce a gas steam cracker product comprising olefins, wherein an olefins amount in the gas steam cracker product is greater than in the hydrocarbon gas stream; separating the hydrocarbon liquid stream into a first fraction (b.p. 300° C.); feeding the first fraction to a liquid steam cracker to produce a liquid steam cracker product comprising olefins and aromatics, wherein an olefins amount in the liquid steam cracker product is greater than in the first fraction; and recycling the second fraction to the pyrolysis unit.
