Abstract
A process for oligomerizing olefins to distillate fuels which oligomerizes a recycle olefin stream with a charge olefin stream in a first-stage oligomerization reactor. The first-stage oligomerate is oligomerized in a second-stage oligomerzation reactor to provide a second-stage oligomerate stream. A recycle olefin stream is taken from said second-stage oligomerate stream.
Claims23
A process for oligomerizing an olefin stream comprising:
- oligomerizing a charge olefin stream and a recycle olefin stream over a first-stage oligomerization catalyst to produce a first-stage oligomerized stream;
- oligomerizing said first-stage oligomerized stream over a second-stage oligomerization catalyst to provide a second-stage oligomerized stream;
- taking said recycle olefin stream from said second-stage oligomerized stream, and
- wherein taking said recycle olefin stream comprises deethanizing or depropanizing said second-stage oligomerized stream to provide a light alkane stream and a deethanized or a depropanized stream.
A process for oligomerizing an olefin stream comprising:
- oligomerizing a charge olefin stream over a first-stage oligomerization catalyst in a first catalyst bed to produce a first effluent stream;
- oligomerizing said first effluent stream and a recycle olefin stream over a first-stage oligomerization catalyst in a second catalyst bed to produce a first-stage oligomerized stream;
- oligomerizing said first-stage oligomerized stream over a second-stage oligomerization catalyst to provide a second-stage oligomerized stream;
- and
- taking said recycle olefin stream from said second-stage oligomerized stream.
A process for oligomerizing an olefin stream comprising:
- oligomerizing a charge olefin stream over a first-stage oligomerization catalyst to produce a first-stage oligomerized stream;
- oligomerizing said first-stage oligomerized stream over a second-stage oligomerization catalyst to provide a second-stage oligomerized stream;
- and
- depropanizing said second-stage oligomerized stream to provide a light alkane stream and a depropanized stream.
