INTEGRATED PROCESS FOR CONVERTING LIGHT PARAFFINS TO GASOLINE AND DISTILLATE

摘要

An integrated process for converting light (C2-C5) paraffins to hydrocarbon products in the gasoline and distillate boiling range in which a light paraffin fraction is subjected to steam cracking under conditions to maximize weight of C5+ molecules plus a multiple of the weight of C4- olefins. This multiple is preferably between 0.7-1 to result in maximum volume of gasoline and distillate production in the overall conversion to products. Light (C2-C5) olefins are oligomerized in a zeolite-catalyzed fluidized bed oligomerization at elevated temperature to produce oligomerized products in the gasoline and middle distillate boiling range.
