Conversion of alkalines to gasoline

Patent ·
OSTI ID:7053531
This patent describes a process for converting an aliphatic hydrocarbon feedstream compromising paraffins to gasoline. It comprises heating the feedstream in a first heat exchange unit; withdrawing the heated feedstream; adding the feedstream to a first reaction zone containing zeolite catalyst whereby the zeolite catalyst is at least partially deactivated; withdrawing an effluent from the first reaction zone compromising olefins, aromatics, and unreacted paraffins; withdrawing the partially deactivated zeolite catalyst from the first reaction zone; cooling the effluent in a second heat exchange unit; withdrawing the cooled effluent; adding the partially deactivated zeolite catalyst to a second reaction zone; and adding the cooled effluent to the second reaction zone containing partially deactivated zeolite catalyst particles, whereby at least a portion of olefins present in the effluent are oligomerized.
