    Abstract: An integrated coalescing system for separating ionic liquid from a liquid hydrocarbon is provided, comprising:a. a bulk settler,that separates an emulsion comprising the dispersed ionic liquid with a wide range of droplet sizes into a clean ionic liquid phase and a separated liquid hydrocarbon phase comprising retained droplets;b. a pre-coalescer that receives the separated liquid hydrocarbon phase, separates out solid particles from the separated liquid hydrocarbon phase, and begins to form coalesced droplets of the retained droplets; andc. a coalescer that receives an effluent from the pre-coalescer, wherein the at least one coalescer comprises multiple layers of media having a fine pore size, and produces a clean hydrocarbon stream that is free of the dispersed ionic liquid and additional amounts of the clean ionic liquid phase. Also, a process is provided for separating an ionic liquid from a liquid hydrocarbon, using the integrated coalescing system.

    Abstract: We provide a process, comprising:a. dehydrogenating natural gas liquid to produce a mixture comprising olefins and unconverted paraffins;b. without further purification or modification other than mixing with an isoparaffin, sending the mixture to a single alkylation reactor;c. alkylating the olefins with the isoparaffin, using an ionic liquid catalyst, to produce one or more alkylate products; andd. distilling the one or more alkylate products and collecting a bottoms distillation fraction that is a middle distillate blending component having a sulfur level of 50 wppm or less and a Bromine number less than 1.
