Plastic blending method, system and apparatus for effectively reducing carbon footprint in refining and petrochemical processing systems

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods, systems, and apparatus for effectively reducing carbon footprint in refining and petrochemical processing systems. In one aspect, a plastic powder feed is blended into a feed of a processing system to reuse plastic and reduce carbon footprint. In one embodiment, a method of blending plastic into a processing system includes comminuting a plastic supply into a plastic feedstock having a particle size of 7 nm to 10 nm. The method includes separating the plastic feedstock to remove portions of particle sizes outside of the range of 7 nanometers to 10 nanometers and produce a plastic feed. The method includes blending a plastic feed into a feed of a processing system to produce a blended feed, and processing the blended feed. 本公开的方面涉及用于有效减少精炼系统和石化加工系统中的碳足迹的方法、系统和设备。在一个方面，将塑料粉末进料共混到加工系统的进料中，以重新利用塑料和减少碳足迹。在一个实施方式中，将塑料共混到加工系统中的方法包括将塑料供应物粉碎成具有7纳米至10纳米的颗粒尺寸的塑料原料。该方法包括分离塑料原料以去除颗粒尺寸在7纳米至10纳米范围之外的部分并产生塑料进料。该方法包括将塑料进料共混到加工系统的进料中以产生共混进料，以及对共混进料进行加工。
