摘要:
A fluidized bed catalytic process for conversion of light olefinic gas feedstock containing ethene and propene to produce C.sub.5.sup.+ hydrocarbons and for the conversion of catalytic reformate feedstock to produce C.sub.7 -C.sub.11 aromatic hydrocarbons, comprising a maintaining a fluidized bed of zeolite catalyst particles in a turbulent reactor bed at a temperature of about 600.degree. to 750.degree. F. (316.degree. to 399.degree. C.) and pressure of about 100 to 250 psig (790 to 825 kPa. The catalyst has an apparent particle density of about 0.9 to 1.6 g/cm.sup.3 and a size range of about 1 to 150 microns, and average catalyst particle size of about 20 to 100 microns containing about 10 to 25 weight percent of fine particles having a particle size less than 32 microns. The feed vapor is passed upwardly through the fluidized catalyst bed under turbulent flow conditions; turbulent fluidized bed conditions are maintained through the reactor bed between transition velocity and transport velocity at a superficial fluid velocity of about 0.3 to 2 meters per second; and hydrocarbon product is recovered containing C.sub.5.sup.+ hydrocarbons and C.sub.7 to C.sub.11 aromatic hydrocarbons.

An improved process for reacting crude aqueous methanol feedstock with tertiary-olefinic hydrocarbons to produce C.sub.5.sup.+ methyl tertiary-alkyl ethers, which comprises: contacting the aqueous methanol feedstock with a liquid hydrocarbon extractant rich in C.sub.4.sup.+ isoalkylene under liquid extraction conditions; recovering an organic extract phase comprising the hydrocarbon extractant and a major amount of methanol introduced in the feedstock; reacting the extracted methanol and C.sub.4.sup.+ isoalkene in contact with an acid etherification catalyst under catalytic reaction conditions to produce ether product; separating ether product from unreacted methanol and olefin; recovering an aqueous methanol raffinate phase containing the major amount of water introduced with the feedstock and a minor amount of feedstock methanol; and converting methanol from the aqueous raffinate phase concurrently with unreacted methanol and olefin from etherification effluent separation to produce hydrocarbons.
摘要:
An integrated once through process for the production of ether-rich liquid fuels containing MTBE and TAME by etherifying a hydrocarbon feedstock containing C.sub.4 + isoalkenes in the presence of a high stoichiometric excess of lower alkyl alcohol. Unreacted alcohol and olefins are passes to a zeolite catalyzed conversion reactor under olefinic and oxygenates conversion condition whereby gasoline and light hydrocarbons are produced.
摘要:
A process and apparatus for fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) of a hydrocarbon feed. The process and apparatus includes a riser which upwardly discharges into a deflector baffle located within a stripping vessel. The stripping vessel is located within a disengaging vessel. The deflector baffle is spaced from the riser and the stripping vessel. Preferably, the deflector baffle is shaped similarly to a large bubble cap. Catalyst passes downwardly from the baffle into a stripping zone within a lower portion of the stripping vessel. Hydrocarbons stripped from the catalyst pass upwardly aaway from the stripping zone, then pass to a cyclone located outside the stripping vessel and then discharge from the disengaging vessel.
摘要:
A methanol-to-gasoline (MTG type) conversion process in which the conversion is conducted in a fixed bed catalytic reactor. A C.sub.3 -C.sub.4 hydrocarbon diluent is generated from the effluent in a series of steps and recycled to the fixed bed reactor in order to dissipate the heat of reaction.
摘要:
In a method and apparatus for improving the flow of catalyst particles from a riser conversion zone to a separator in a fluidized catalytic cracking (FCC) unit, the exit of the riser conversion zone is equipped with a deflector mounted so as to redirect catalyst particle and gas suspension movement toward a separator inlet, thus preventing rebound back into the riser conversion zone. The catalyst deflector can be combined with one or more of a short contact time stripper, a stripper mount in or adjacent the exhaust barrel of a separator, and/or a catalyst seal pot, all serving to reduce "residence" time of hydrocarbons with catalyst particles.
摘要:
An apparatus for fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) of a hydrocarbon feed in an open or closed system, which includes a multistage stripper system, which comprises a means for spinning a gasiform mixture of catalyst and cracked hydrocarbons exiting from a riser, a first means for stripping the spun gasiform mixture, and a means for deflecting the gasiform mixture to separate catalyst from the cracked hydrocarbons.

Disclosed is a method and apparatus for conversion of LPG hydrocarbons into distillate fuels by integrating LPG dehydrogenation with catalytic oligomerization and recovering the distillates produced. The described method and apparatus may comprise an H.sub.2 separation zone, wherein a lean oil stream contacts a dehydrogenation effluent stream to produce a C.sub.3.sup.+ rich liquid stream to feed oligomerization. An energy efficient separation zone comprising dual debutanizers is disclosed. In addition, a method and apparatus is disclosed for a fluid bed dehydrogenation reactor zone using an FCC catalyst contaminated with a metal, such as nickel and/or vanadium.
摘要:
In the conversion of light olefins to heavier hydrocarbons, an improved recovery technique is provided for selectively removing unreacted light olefins from a catalytic reactor effluent. This system is useful in converting ethene-rich feedstocks to gasoline and/or distillate products, particularly in oligomerization processes employing shape selective siliceous catalysts such as ZSM-5 type zeolites. By recycling gasoline-range hydrocarbons as a sorbent liquid, unreacted C.sub.2.sup.+ components may be absorbed from reactor effluent vapor and returned for further contact with the catalyst.
摘要:
A catalytic process for converting an olefinic feedstock comprising lower olefin to heavier hydrocarbon product comprising the steps of:contacting the feedstock and a recycled hydrocarbon with shape-selective zeolite oligomerization catalyst in catalytic reaction zone at elevated temperature and pressure to provide a heavier hydrocarbon effluent stream comprising heavy, intermediate and light hydrocarbons;flashing the effluent stream between the reaction zone and a phase separation zone by reducing pressure of the effluent stream, thereby producing a heavy liquid stream rich in heavy hydrocarbons and a flashed effluent vapor stream containing lighter hydrocarbons;separating and recovering a recycle stream rich in intermediate range hydrocarbons from the separation zone and pressurizing the recycle stream for recycle to the reactor inlet;further fractionating the heavy liquid stream and flashed effluent vapor from the phase separation zone in first distillation tower to remove light hydrocarbons therefrom; andrecovering substantially all of the heavy hydrocarbons produced in the reaction zone in a fractionated liquid product stream.
