1. An olefin synthesis plant for the production of light olefins, the olefin synthesis plant comprising:
a feed pretreatment section configured to pretreat a feed stream;
one or more furnaces, wherein at least one of the one or more furnaces is configured to be an electrified furnace, and wherein each electrified furnace further comprises a pyrolysis section comprising one or more pyrolysis reactors configured to crack hydrocarbons in the feed stream in the presence of a diluent to produce a cracked gas stream;
a primary fractionation and compression section configured to (a) provide heat recovery from and quenching of the cracked gas stream; (b) remove fuel oil, hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide, water, pyrolysis gasoline, or a combination thereof from the cracked gas stream; and
(c) compress the cracked gas stream, thus providing a compressed cracked gas stream; and
a product separation section configured to separate a product olefin stream comprising at least ethylene from the compressed cracked gas stream,
wherein the olefin synthesis plant is configured such that at least 90% of electricity used for heating in each electrified furnace is provided to the electrified furnace without combusting a fuel, a carbon-based fuel, a fossil fuel, or combinations thereof, and
wherein the olefin synthesis plant is configured to consume greater than or equal to 10 MW of electrical power.
