<p>Process to make a sulphur containing hydrocarbon product from crude natural gas by performing the following steps: (a) separating a sulphur containing liquid field condensate fraction from the natural gas, (b) further separating a sulphur containing fraction comprising hydrocarbon compounds having 3 or more carbon atoms from the natural gas to obtain a plant condensate, (c) oxidizing the mercaptans compounds as present in the plant condensate fraction to disulphide compounds in the presence of an oxidation catalyst in an oxidation zone, (d) preparing a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen from the gas obtained in step (b), (e) preparing a paraffin product by performing a Fischer- Tropsch reaction using the carbon monoxide and hydrogen from step (d), and (f) combining the paraffin product or part of said product with the disulphide containing fraction comprising hydrocarbon compounds having 3 or more carbon atoms obtained in step (c) or a fraction thereof to obtain the sulphur containing hydrocarbon product.</p> |
