Abstract
In accordance with the present invention, disclosed herein is a method comprising the steps for producing lower molecular weight hydrocarbons. Also disclosed herein, is a system utilized to produce low molecular weight hydrocarbons.
Claims16
A method comprising the steps of:
- a) providing natural gas comprising methane and N2;
- b) removing at least a portion of the N2 from the natural gas, thereby producing a first gas comprising methane and from 0 mole % to about 2 mole % of N2;
- c) converting at least a portion of the first gas to synthesis gas comprising H2 and CO;
- d) converting at least a portion of the synthesis gas to a first product stream comprising methane, C2-C9 hydrocarbons, C10+ hydrocarbons, unreacted synthesis gas, and CO2;
- and
- e) separating at least a portion of the methane from the first product stream, wherein the step of separating at least a portion of the methane from the first product stream comprises lowering the pressure of the first product stream, thereby lowering the temperature of the first product stream.
