    摘要: A feed mixture comprising at least one C3 olefin and/or at least one C4 olefin may be contacted with a zeolite catalyst under oligomerization reaction conditions to form a product mixture comprising a plurality of olefin oligomers. The zeolite catalyst, optionally with one or more further modifications, may be selected for operability at high WHSV values that may produce at least C12 olefins in the product mixture having an average branching index of about 2.2 or less. Under suitable conditions, C10-C13 olefins may comprise at least about 25% of the product mixture, M based on total olefin oligomers. Percentage conversion of the at least one C3 olefin and/or at least one C4 olefin may impact the average branching index of at least C12 olefin oligomers and selectivity for C10-C13 olefin oligomers. An amount of C4 olefin in the feed mixture may produce a targeted selectivity for at least C1 olefins.

    摘要: Apparatuses for maintaining a solid as a melt (e.g., for storage or transport) may comprise: a closed vessel having an upper section and a lower section; a pool of a heat-receiving fluid located in the lower section; at least one product circulation conduit located in the lower section and at least partially immersed in the pool of the heat-receiving fluid; and a cooling fluid conduit located in the upper section and spaced apart from the pool of the heat-receiving fluid, the cooling fluid conduit being in thermal communication with vapor produced from the heat-receiving fluid; wherein a cooling fluid is present in the cooling fluid conduit.

    摘要: Processes and systems for steam cracking hydrocarbon feeds. The process can include introducing a first hydrocarbon feed into radiant coil(s) disposed within a first segment of a firebox to produce a first steam cracker effluent having a first coil outlet temperature. A second hydrocarbon feed can be introduced into radiant coil(s) disposed within a second segment of the firebox to produce a second steam cracker effluent having a second coil outlet temperature. The first and second segments can each include one or more burners providing heat thereto. The burner(s) in each segment can be operated at substantially the same firing rate such that an amount of heat produced by each burner can be substantially the same. A feed rate of the first hydrocarbon feed can be controlled based, at least in part, on a composition of the first hydrocarbon feed and the first coil outlet temperature.
