<p>A method and system for producing petroleum jelly from hydrocarbons. The method converts the hydrocarbon source into a synthesis gas. The synthesis gas is converted into at least a light-hydrocarbons stream and a heavy-hydrocarbons stream, which both include a plurality of paraffins and a plurality of olefins. The plurality of paraffins is reacted with the plurality of olefins in the presence of a dialkyl peroxide initiator to form the petroleum jelly. A synthesis gas production system is adapted to produce a synthesis gas from at least a natural gas source. A hydrocarbon conversion system is adapted to produce heavier hydrocarbons from at least the synthesis gas, the heavier hydrocarbons containing at least a plurality of paraffins and a plurality of olefins. A petroleum-jelly production system is adapted to convert the produced heavier hydrocarbons into petrolatum.</p> |
