  • Process for oligomerising a hydrocarbon to form at least one co-monomer product
    Patent number: 9522856
    Abstract: A process (10) for oligomerising a hydrocarbon to form at least one co-monomer product (22) includes feeding a hydrocarbon reactant and organic liquid diluent solvent (32) into an oligomerisation reactor (12). The organic liquid diluent solvent has a normal boiling point below the normal boiling point of 1-hexene but above ?20° C., or the organic diluent solvent is in the form of a solvent admixture with at least 70% by mass of the solvent admixture constituting organic diluent solvents having a normal boiling point below the normal boiling point of 1-hexene but above ?20° C. The oligomerisation reactor (12) holds at least one co-monomer product formed in the oligomerisation reactor admixed with a catalyst system (25) introduced into the oligomerisation reactor (12). The catalyst system (25) includes a catalyst dissolved in at least one catalyst solvent.
