1. A system, comprising:
an ethylene-to-liquids (ETL) reactor that (i) receives an olefin feed stream at a first temperature, said olefin feed stream comprising (1) ethylene (C2H4) at a concentration of at least about 0.5 mole percent (mol %), (2) C2H4 and propylene (C3H6) at a combined concentration of at most about 10 mol %, and (3) carbon monoxide (CO) or carbon dioxide (CO2), and (ii) as part of an ETL process, facilitates conversion of C2H4 to higher hydrocarbon products with the aid of an ETL catalyst to yield a product stream comprising said higher hydrocarbon products that is at a second temperature which is higher than said first temperature, wherein said ETL process liberates heat; and a separations module in fluid communication with said ETL reactor that recovers from said product stream a liquid stream comprising said higher hydrocarbon products, wherein said higher hydrocarbon products include (i) at least 5 compounds having 5 different carbon numbers, said 5 carbon numbers selected from 4 through 20, wherein each of said at least 5 carbon numbers is at a concentration of at least 5 weight percent (wt %) of said liquid stream, and (ii) a paraffin compound, an isoparaffin compound, and a naphthene compound, wherein during use, at least about 80% of said heat liberated in said ETL process provides a difference between said first temperature and said second temperature of between about 50° C. and about 150° C. |
