Method and Apparatus for conversion of Carbonaceous Materials to Liquid Fuel

A process comprising:

• converting a carbonaceous material with a first reaction scheme to reaction products comprising a gaseous component and a solid component, wherein a temperature and residence time of the first reaction scheme are selected to maximize the condensable gases in the gaseous component;
• and
• converting at least a portion of the condensable gases with a second reaction scheme to reaction products comprising gaseous non-condensable hydrocarbons, wherein the temperature and residence time of the second reaction scheme are controlled to maximize the olefins with carbon numbers between 2 and 4.

A process comprising:

• converting a hydrocarbon material with a first non-catalytic reaction scheme to reaction products comprising a gaseous component including gaseous olefins and a solid component comprising char;
• and
• converting the gaseous olefins with a second reaction scheme to hydrocarbons having at least 5 carbon atoms.
