Abstract: The economics and thermal efficiency of an olefin-to-gasoline-conversion process utilizing catalyst beds is improved by separating the effluent product from the beds into a gas in a liquid phase, cooling the gas phase to form additional liquid and heat exchanging the liquid with the overhead gas from the separator.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for the improvement of catalyst performance in catalytic hydrodewaxing of both petroleum and synthetic hydrocarbon feedstocks utilizing a special group of acidic crystalline aluminosilicate zeolites such as those of the ZSM-5 type which involves treatment of said zeolites in order to adjust their initially high alpha activity to within a range of 55-150 alpha prior to use as catalysts in a hydrodewaxing operation.

Abstract: A hydrocarbon fuel oil composition comprising a blend of untreated low pour-point distillate oil and a higher pour-point catalytically hydrodewaxed distillate oil. The blend has an unexpectedly low pour point and cloud point. Dewaxing is effected with a ZSM-5 type catalyst.

Abstract: The product of Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis is separated to recover a product boiling above about 400.degree. F which is thereafter processed over a selective crystalline zeolite under hydrodewaxing conditions promoting the formation of fuel oil and gasoline products. Improving start up and operation of the process in the presence of a ZSM5 crystalline zeolite is described.

Abstract: The product of Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis is separated to recover a C.sub.5 -400.degree. F liquid fraction which is thereafter hydrogenated in order to saturate diolefins and contacted with a ZSM-5 type zeolite under conditions of elevated temperature and pressure so as to obtain gasoline of a higher octane rating. The contact with the ZSM-5 zeolite is preferably in the presence of added hydrogen.

Abstract: The product of Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis is separated to recover a product boiling above and below about 400.degree. F which is thereafter separately process over different beds of ZSM-5 crystalline zeolite under conditions promoting the formation of fuel oil products and gasoline of a higher octane rating.

Abstract: The product of Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis is separated to recover a C.sub.5 -400.degree. F liquid fraction which is thereafter contacted with a ZSM-5 type zeolite in the presence of added hydrogen under conditions of elevated temperature and pressure so as to obtain gasoline of a higher octane rating.

Abstract: Upgrading of Fischer-Tropsch synthesis product is accomplished by water washing the product effluent to separate oxygenates therefrom, separating the washed effluent to recover a C.sub.3 -C.sub.4 rich fraction, a C.sub.5 plus gasoline fraction, a light fuel oil fraction and a heavy fuel oil fraction which is subjected to hydrodewaxing conditions to produce additional light fuel oil and gasoline boiling product. The light fuel oil products were hydrotreated and the synthesis gasoline is octane improved with ZSM5 crystalline zeolite.

Abstract: A Fischer-Tropsch synthesis effluent is separated into gaseous, gasoline boiling, light fuel oil and heavy fuel oil products for upgrading to more desirable products by conversion over a special class of crystalline zeolites suitable for the purpose. Water washing of the separated fractions may be practiced to recover oxygenates from any separated fraction before further upgrading of oxygenates and hydrocarbons.

Abstract: This invention concerns a method of regenerating hydroprocessing catalyst. The invention deals with a method of regenerating hydroprocessing catalyst contained within a reactor, said catalyst having been deactivated by "coke" deposition, comprising: passing into an inlet of said reactor, through said catalyst to be regenerated, and out an outlet of said reactor, a stream of substantially inert gases initially containing about 0.1 to 4.0 volume percent oxygen at an initial temperature of about 600.degree. to 1200.degree. F, a pressure of at least about 100 psig and a space velocity of at least about 50 GHSV; and increasing said oxygen concentration to about 1.0 to 10.0 volume % and/or increasing the temperature to about 800.degree. to 1200.degree. F upon detection of oxygen at said outlet of said catalyst containing reactor.

Abstract: A method for the operation of a hydrodewaxing unit wherein a petroleum distillate is separated into two streams, one having a pour point of above about 30.degree.F, and the other having a pour point of less than about 30.degree.F., the 30.degree.F plus pour point fraction is treated in a hydrodewaxing unit with a ZSM-5 type catalyst under hydroprocessing conditions while the 30.degree.F. minus pour point portion is untreated and combined with the hydrodewaxed product. The process yields a net production of hydrogen, and exhibits excellent catalyst aging characteristics.
