Abstract
A system and a method for producing oligomers are disclosed. The oligomers are produced in a loop reactor by contacting a mono-olefin with a catalyst. The byproduct produced during the process is collected in one or more settling legs of the loop reactor.
Claims23
A method for producing oligomers, the method comprising:
- contacting, in a loop reactor, a mono-olefin with a catalyst under reaction conditions sufficient to oligomerize the mono-olefin to produce a product stream comprising (1) one or more oligomers and (2) a byproduct comprising one or more waxes and/or polymers,
- wherein the loop reactor comprises a loop-shaped tubing container configured to receive the mono-olefin and the catalyst therein and one or more settling legs configured to settle and/or collect the byproduct;
- withdrawing a product stream comprising one or more oligomers from the loop reactor through a product outlet;
- and
- receiving untreated byproduct into the one or more settling legs directly from the loop-shaped tubing container.

A system for producing oligomers, the system comprising:
- a supply of mono-olefin and a supply of catalyst;
- a loop reactor comprising a loop-shaped tubing container in fluid communication with the supply of mono-olefin and the supply of catalyst, the loop reactor adapted to oligomerize the mono-olefin to produce a product comprising one or more oligomers and a byproduct comprising one or more waxes and/or polymers;
- a product outlet in fluid communication with the loop reactor for receiving a product stream comprising one or more oligomers;
- and
- one or more settling legs in fluid communication with the loop-shaped tubing container and positioned to receive an untreated byproduct stream directly from the loop-shaped tubing container.
