Abstract: Methanol-to-gasoline conversion may be performed using a heavy gasoline treatment, followed by a separation operation. Methanol may be converted into a first product mixture comprising dimethyl ether (DME) under DME formation conditions. In a methanol-to-gasoline (MTG) reactor, the first product mixture may be converted under MTG conversion conditions to produce a second product mixture comprising light gasoline hydrocarbons and untreated heavy gasoline hydrocarbons. The untreated heavy gasoline hydrocarbons may be separated from the light gasoline hydrocarbons and transferred to a heavy gasoline treatment (HGT) reactor. The untreated heavy gasoline hydrocarbons may be catalytically reacted in the HGT reactor to form a third product mixture. A heavy hydrocarbon fraction may be separated from the third product mixture. The heavy hydrocarbon fraction includes heavy gasoline hydrocarbons having a lower boiling endpoint than does the untreated heavy gasoline hydrocarbons.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for conversion of methanol to gasoline in an integrated system that can also upgrade light paraffins generated by the methanol conversion process to aromatics. In some aspects, the integrated configuration can include integration of the stage for upgrading of light paraffins to aromatics into the product separation sequence for processing of the methanol conversion effluent. In other aspects, the integrated configuration can further include sharing a common catalyst between the methanol conversion stage and the stage for upgrading light paraffins to aromatics.
