Abstract

This invention relates to a process for recovering a liquid product from a pyrolysis stream. The process comprises preheating a pyrolysis stream comprising a mixture of hydrocarbons; distilling the preheated pyrolysis stream in a distillation column to produce one or more streams including a top stream at the top of the distillation column; cooling the top stream withdrawn from the distillation column in a condenser; refluxing the stream that has exited the condenser in a reflux vessel; and withdrawing at least part of a liquid product from the bottom of the reflux vessel to recover a liquid naphtha or naphtha-like product. The invention also relates to various recovered liquid products produced from the process described herein. The invention also relates to an apparatus for recovering liquid products from a pyrolysis stream, comprising a preheater; a distillation column that does not contain a reboiler; a condenser; and a reflux vessel.
