  • Patent number: 10774015
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are processes, systems, and reaction systems for the oligomerization of ethylene to form an ethylene oligomer product in a reaction zone using a catalyst system having i) a chromium component comprising a heteroatomic ligand chromium compound complex of the type disclosed herein, and ii) an aluminoxane. A C3+ olefin can be present in the reaction zone for a period of time, where the C3+ olefin is not an ethylene oligomer formed in-situ within the reaction zone.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 21, 2019
    Date of Patent: September 15, 2020
    Assignee: Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LP
    Inventors: Jared T. Fern, Orson L. Sydora, Uriah J. Kilgore, Steven M. Bischof, Eric R. Fernandez
  • Patent number: 10689312
    Abstract: Disclosed are processes, systems, and reaction systems for the oligomerization of ethylene to form an oligomer product in a reaction zone using a catalyst system having i) a chromium component comprising an N2-phosphinyl amidine chromium compound complex, an N2-phosphinyl formamidine chromium compound complex, an N2-phosphinyl guanidine chromium compound complex, or any combination thereof, and ii) an aluminoxane. Ethylene can be contacted with an organic reaction medium to form an ethylene feedstock mixture prior to contact with the catalyst system. The ethylene feedstock mixture can be contacted with the catalyst system inside or outside of the reaction zone.
