Abstract

Methods and systems for producing pyrolysis products from a mixed plastics stream are described herein. The method may include conducting pyrolysis of a plastic feedstock to produce a stream of plastic pyrolysis oil; feeding a catalytic cracking feed stream and a catalyst from a catalyst regenerator into a fluidized bed reactor, where the catalytic cracking feed stream comprises the plastic pyrolysis oil; cracking the catalytic cracking feed stream in the fluidized bed reactor to produce a product stream and a spent catalyst; and transporting the spent catalyst to the catalyst regenerator and regenerating the catalyst in the catalyst regenerator. The product stream comprises olefins having a carbon number of C₂-C₄ and distillate fuel.
