High pressure oxygenate conversion process via diluent co-feed

摘要

This invention relates to a method for converting an oxygenate feedstock to an olefin product. In particular, this invention relates to a method for converting an oxygenate feedstock, including a diluent co-feed, to an olefin product, by contacting the feedstock with a silicoaluminophosphate catalyst at a high total pressure of the feedstock while maintaining a low partial pressure of the oxygenates undergoing reaction.
