Integrated process for making transportation fuels and lubes from wet natural gas
Patent
·
OSTI ID:5289407
The synthetic fuel slate of products derived from wet natural gas is expanded to include both aromatic gasoline from the methane rich dry gas portion via steam reforming to synthesis gas, the production of methanol from synthesis gas and the conversion of methanol to gasoline over a ZSM-5 type catalyst, plus high quality jet fuel, diesel fuel and lubricating oils from the C/sub 3//sup +/ paraffin rich fraction of wet natural gas via thermal cracking of the paraffin rich fraction to olefins and the conversion of the olefins to gasoline and distillate boiling range hydrocarbons over a ZSM-5 type catalyst. Methane separated from the thermal cracked product can be mixed with the dry gas fraction for synthesis gas production and a portion of the hydrogen from the synthesis gas may be used to hydrogenate the distillate fraction from the catalytic conversion of the thermal cracked product.
