Abstract: A method for producing jet-range hydrocarbons includes passing a stream comprising renewable C4 olefins to an oligomerization reactor containing a zeolite catalyst to produce an oligomerized effluent, separating the oligomerized effluent to produce a jet range hydrocarbon stream and a recycle stream comprising C8 olefins, and passing at least a portion of the recycle stream to the oligomerization reactor. A first at least about 10% of the jet-range hydrocarbon stream hydrocarbons boil between n-octane and n-undecane and wherein a second at least about 10% of the jet-range hydrocarbon stream hydrocarbons boil between n-dodecane and n-pentadecane.

Abstract: A process is present for increasing the yields of 1,3 butadiene. The process includes recovering 1,3 butadiene from a cracking unit that generates a crude C4 stream. The 1,3 butadiene is separated and the remaining C4 process stream components are further reacted and dehydrogenated to generate 1,3 butadiene in a subsequent process stream. The subsequent process stream is recycled to recover the additional 1,3 butadiene.

Abstract: 1-butene is recovered as a purified product from an MTO synthesis and especially from an integrated MTO synthesis and hydrocarbon pyrolysis system in which the MTO system and its complementary olefin cracking reactor are combined with a hydrocarbon pyrolysis reactor in a way that facilitates the flexible production and recovery of olefins and other petrochemical products, particularly butene-1 and MTBE.

Abstract: One exemplary embodiment is a process for oligomerizing one or more hydrocarbons. The process includes providing a feed including one or more C3 and C4 hydrocarbons to a separation zone, separating a first stream including an effective amount of C3 olefins for oligomerizing, separating a second stream including an effective amount of one or more C4 olefins for oligomerizing, providing at least a portion of the first stream to a first oligomerization zone for producing at least one of a C9 and a C12 hydrocarbon, and providing at least a portion of the second stream to a second oligomerization zone for producing at least one of a C8 and a C12 hydrocarbon.

Abstract: One exemplary embodiment can be a process for removing one or more disulfide compounds from a caustic stream. The process can include passing the caustic stream, previously contacted with a hydrocarbon stream for removing one or more mercaptans, through a column to remove the one or more disulfide compounds downstream of a mercaptan oxidation zone.

Abstract: One exemplary embodiment can be a tetramer production apparatus. The apparatus can include a fractionation zone and an oxygenate removal zone. The fractionation zone can produce a distillation product including one or more C6 hydrocarbons for producing one or more C12 compounds. The oxygenate removal zone may remove one or more oxygenate compounds from the distillation product passed through the oxygenate removal zone.

Abstract: One exemplary embodiment can be a process for oligomerizing one or more hydrocarbons. The process can include oligomerizing a feed including one or more C3-C5 hydrocarbons to produce an effluent, and recycling at least a portion of the effluent for oligomerizing. Typically, the recycled portion has at least about 50%, by weight, one or more alkenes based on the weight of the recycled portion.

Abstract: One exemplary embodiment can be a process for separating at least one oligomerized effluent. The process can include providing an effluent from at least one of a first oligomerization zone for producing at least one of a C9 and a C12 hydrocarbon and a second oligomerization zone for producing at least one of a C8 and a C12 hydrocarbon, providing at least a portion of the effluent to a separation zone, and providing at least one stream from the separation zone to a hydrotreatment zone.

Abstract: One exemplary embodiment can be a process for oligomerizing one or more hydrocarbons. The process can include providing a feed including one or more C3 and C4 hydrocarbons to a separation zone, separating at least a portion of C3 olefins, sending the C3 olefins to a first oligomerization zone for producing one or more C9 hydrocarbons, and returning at least a portion of an effluent from the first oligomerization zone to the separation zone.
