Abstract
A process for producing transport fuel blendstocks comprises providing a first feedstock comprising butane and propane and a second feedstock comprising benzene and dehydrogenating the first feedstock in a first reactor to produce a C4 product comprising butane and butene and a C3 product comprising propane and propylene. The process also comprises oligomerizing the C4 product in a second reactor to produce a first transport fuel blendstock and alkylating the C3 product with the second feedstock in a third reactor to produce a second transport fuel blendstock.

A process for producing transport fuel blendstocks, the process comprising:
- providing a first feedstock comprising butane and propane, and a second feedstock comprising benzene;
- dehydrogenating the first feedstock in a first reactor to produce a C4 product comprising butane and butene and a C3 product comprising propane and propylene;
- splitting, via a C3/C4 splitter, the C4 product from the C3 product that are produced in the first reactor;
- oligomerizing the C4 product in a second reactor to produce a first transport fuel blendstock;
- and
- alkylating the C3 product with the second feedstock in a third reactor to produce a second transport fuel blendstock.
A system for producing transport fuel blendstocks, the system comprising:
- a first reactor that dehydrogenates a first feedstock comprising butane and propane to produce a C4 product comprising butane and butene and a C3 product comprising propane and propylene;
- a C3/C4 splitter that splits the C4 product from the C3 product that are produced in the first reactor;
- a second reactor that oligomerizes the C4 product in a second reactor to produce a first transport fuel blendstock;
- and
- a third reactor that alkylates the C3 product with a second feedstock comprising benzene in a third reactor to produce a second transport fuel blendstock.
