  • Publication number: 20200109095
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to processes that catalytically convert a hydrocarbon feed stream predominantly comprising both isopentane and n-pentane to yield upgraded hydrocarbon products that are suitable for use either as a blend component of liquid transportation fuels or as an intermediate in the production of other value-added chemicals. The hydrocarbon feed stream is isomerized in a first reaction zone to convert at least a portion of the n-pentane to isopentane, followed by catalytic-activation of the isomerization effluent in a second reaction zone with an activation catalyst to produce an activation effluent. The process increases the conversion of the hydrocarbon feed stream to olefins and aromatics, while minimizing the production of C1-C4 light paraffins. Certain embodiments provide for further upgrading of at least a portion of the activation effluent by either oligomerization or alkylation.

  • Patent number: 10550334
    Abstract: A process is disclosed for shifting the product of a hydrocracker in a hydrocarbon refinery back and forth from a more naphtha focused product slate to a more diesel focused product slate to take advantage of price and demand shifts between gasoline and diesel by using a naphtha selective catalyst and temporarily passivating the catalyst with a basic material such as ammonia in the hydrocracker. The ammonia passivates the acid catalyst sites on the catalyst and produces more total liquids and more diesel with attractive cold flow and pour point properties for a temporary period. When implemented in a temporary manner and the flow of ammonia is suspended the hydrocracker product slate returns to a more gasoline focused slate.

  • Patent number: 10487277
    Abstract: Systems operable to produce liquid transportation fuels by converting a hydrocarbon feed stream that comprises both isopentane and n-pentane. The system separates the hydrocarbon feed stream to form a first fraction comprising isopentane and smaller hydrocarbons, and a second fraction comprising n-pentane and larger components of the hydrocarbon feeds stream. Each fraction is then catalytically-activated in a separate activation reactor containing a separate activation catalyst, where the conditions maintained in each reactor are selected to maximize the conversion of each fraction to olefins and aromatics, while minimizing the production of C1-C4 light paraffins. Optionally, the first activation reactor is maintained at a lower temperature than the second activation reactor.

  • Publication number: 20190300454
    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. The process provides increased yields of upgraded hydrocarbon products that possess the characteristics of a liquid transportation fuel or a blend component thereof.

  • Patent number: 10400182
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally processes and systems for converting a mixture of light hydrocarbons to liquid transportation fuels by first cracking the light hydrocarbons to an intermediate comprising olefins, which is converted by contacting with a catalyst comprising at least one zeolite in two separate conversion stages with an intervening recovery of liquid product. The first stage conversion favors oligomerization of larger olefins to form diesel range products that are collected prior to directing unconverted smaller olefins to be oligomerized in a second stage conversion conducted at a higher temperature and lower pressure.
