  • Patent number: 11104624
    Abstract: A method (100) is proposed for the manufacture of benzene, in which a first feedstock mixture is formed, which contains alkylated aromatics and hydrogen, and in which the alkylated aromatics contained in the first feedstock mixture are partially converted with the hydrogen contained in the first feedstock mixture to the benzene through hydrodealkylation (33), thereby obtaining a first product mixture, wherein the first product mixture contains the benzene, the unconverted alkylated aromatics, alkanes with one to three carbon atoms formed in the conversion of the alkylated aromatics to the benzene, and the unconverted hydrogen, and wherein at least a part of the alkanes with one to three carbon atoms and of the hydrogen are separated from the first product mixture, thereby obtaining a light-gas fraction.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20170219281
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for recovery of methane from hydrocarbon streams comprising the following steps: a. Introducing a feed fluid stream (F), which comprises methane fluid, at least one hydrocarbon free fluid, wherein in particular said at least one hydrocarbon free fluid is nitrogen, and at least one hydrocarbon fluid, into a demethanizer system (1); b. Separating said feed fluid stream (F) in the demethanizer system (1) into a carbon rich fraction (C), comprising hydrocarbons with a carbon content of C2 and higher, and a separation stream (S), comprising methane fluid and at least one hydrocarbon free fluid; c.
