  • Publication number: 20230227739
    Abstract: A production plant and a method for production of a synthetized gasoline product from a synthetic hydrocarbon mixture produced from a mixture of reactive oxygenates, the method including a. separating the synthetic hydrocarbon mixture in at least a light hydrocarbon fraction, and a higher boiling hydrocarbon fraction, wherein the higher boiling fraction comprises at least 70% of the molecules including 10 or more carbon atoms and less than 20% of the molecules comprising exactly 9 carbon atoms, b. directing at least an amount of said higher boiling hydrocarbon fraction as a hydrocracking feedstock to contact a material catalytically active in hydrocracking under effective hydrocracking conditions providing a hydrocracked hydrocarbon stream, wherein at least an amount of said hydrocracked hydrocarbon stream is combined with at least an amount of said light hydrocarbon fraction, to provide said synthetized gasoline product having a T90 being below T90 of said synthetic hydrocarbon mixture.

  • Patent number: 10336673
    Abstract: The present application relates to a process for production of hydrocarbons comprising the steps of converting a feed stream comprising alcohols, ethers or mixtures hereof over a metal-containing zeolite based catalyst, active in dehydrogenation of hydrocarbons, in a conversion step thereby obtaining a conversion effluent, separating said effluent to obtain an aqueous process condensate stream, a liquid hydrocarbon stream and a gaseous stream, removing part of the hydrogen formed in the conversion step, and recycling at least part of the gaseous and/or liquid hydrocarbon stream to the conversion step.

  • Publication number: 20170253807
    Abstract: The present application relates to a plant and a hydrocarbon production process comprising the steps of (i) in a conversion step converting at least a feed stream thereby obtaining a conversion effluent stream comprising water, hydrocarbons such as raw gasoline, unreacted and/or partially reacted feed and/or inerts, (ii) In a separator separating the conversion effluent stream into at least a raw gasoline stream, a recycle stream and a process condensate stream comprising water and oxygenates, (iii) mixing the feed stream and the recycle stream upstream the conversion step, and (iv) adding at least part of the process condensate stream to the feed stream and/or the recycle stream and/or the mixed feed-recycle stream from step (iii).

  • Publication number: 20170233661
    Abstract: The invention relates to a processes comprising the steps of: in an evaporator forming a gas phase methanol rich stream from a feed stream; withdrawing a liquid purge stream from the evaporator, said liquid purge stream comprising oxygenates and water; providing the gas phase methanol rich stream to a conversion step; and adding at least part of said liquid purge stream upstream the conversion step.
