    Abstract: A quench mixing device (100, 200, 300) is disclosed for mixing multiphase process fluids in 5 the inter-bed region of a concurrent downflow reactor (10) for obtaining homogeneity of the temperature and chemical composition of the mixed stream. The quench mixing device comprises of outer mixing zone (109), inner mixing zone (120), swirl mixing zone (151) and exit zone. Due to the position of the disperser (142), the liquid coming from above is dispersed in droplets. The fluid impact on the other side of the outer mixing zone. The gas is bubbled into 0 liquid in the inner mixing zone. The fluids enter the swirl mixing zone via two-phase duct (131) which is shaped to have low pressure loss and high velocity at the outlet to induce dispersed regime. The outlet of the two-phase duct is placed such that liquid is injected into the swirl zone below liquid surface, causing increased momentum for inducing liquid swirl in the swirl zone and increased number of rotations.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to processes and systems for producing liquid transportation fuels by converting a feed stream that comprises both isopentane and n-pentane, and optionally, some C6+ hydrocarbons. Isopentane and smaller hydrocarbons are separated to form a first fraction while n-pentane and larger components of the feed stock form a second fraction. Each fraction is then catalytically-activated in a separate reaction zone with a separate catalyst, where the conditions maintained in each zone maximize the conversion of each fraction to olefins and aromatics, while minimizing the production of C1-C4 light paraffins. In certain embodiments, the first fraction is activated at a lower temperature than the second fraction. Certain embodiments additionally comprise mixing at least a portion of the two effluents and contacting with either an oligomerization catalyst or alkylation catalyst to provide enhanced yields of upgraded hydrocarbon products that are suitable for use as a blend component of liquid transportation fuels or other value-added chemical products.
