<p>This invention relates to a process for converting alkoxy compounds into hydrocarbon compounds, mostly in the gasoline boiling range. This invention provides energy savings in the conversion of alkoxy compounds compared to conventional catalytic MTG serial fixed bed operations. In this process, fresh alkoxy feedstock (5) is fed to each reaction zone combined with an effluent gas product from a preceeding MTG reaction zone (11, 13, 15, 17) together with additional diluent gas (5a). An alkoxy equivalent is provided to each reaction zone in an amount which exceeds that added to a preceeding MTG reaction zone from which the effluent product gas was formed. The diluent gas temperature and composition is such that it maintains temperature increases in each successive zone to less than 150 degrees F. and water partial pressures less than 2.2 ata.</p> |
