  • Hydrocarbon processing analysis
    Patent number: 10353353
    Abstract: Tools and methods are provided for supplementing an optimization solution for an objective function based on a model of one or more hydrocarbon refining and/or conversion and/or chemical production processes with supporting analysis. The supporting analysis can illustrate for a user how the nature of the feed(s) and/or the selected processing conditions and/or the quality of the product(s) contributes to the optimized solution. A user interface is also provided to facilitate viewing of the information by a user. The supporting analysis can allow a user to understand the factors in the optimized solution that contribute in a significant way.
    Type: Grant

  • PROCESS AND SYSTEM TO CONVERT OLEFINS TO DIESEL AND OTHER DISTILLATES
    Publication number: 20110147263
    Abstract: The present invention provides a process for producing a hydrocarbon fuel composition that includes introducing an olefin feed composition including light olefins to an oligomerization catalyst to yield an intermediate composition including olefins having at least four carbon atoms, introducing the intermediate composition and a second feed of aromatic compounds (e.g., a feed including from 2 to 99.9% benzene or other alkylatable aromatics) to an aromatic alkylation catalyst to yield a fractionation feed to provide a composition which can be further refined to provide one or more hydrocarbon fuel compositions.
