The present invention describes a method to produce high purity hydrocarbon materials and the high purity hydrocarbon materials produced from renewable sources. The produced materials are chemically similar and of equal or higher purity to from highly refined mineral oils and/or synthetic hydrocarbons. These renewable hydrocarbon materials can be used as a replacement for mineral and synthetic hydrocarbon base oils, process fluids, white oils in products such as lubricants, rubber, personal care, pharma.

A method is disclosed for upgrading a bio-based material, the method including pretreating bio-renewable oil(s) and/or fat(s) to provide a bio-renewable raw material, deoxygenating the bio-renewable raw material, followed by separation, to provide a propane feed, and subjecting the propane feed to dehydrogenation and to separation to provide a propylene material.

This invention relates in certain aspects to a process for removing oxygenates from a stream, preferably a hydrocarbon stream comprising contacting an organosilica material with the hydrocarbon steam, where the organosilica material is a polymer of at least one monomer of Formula [Z.sup.1OZ.sup.2SiCH.sub.2].sub.3, wherein Z.sup.1 represents a hydrogen atom, a C.sub.1-C.sub.4 alkyl group, or a bond to a silicon atom of another monomer and Z.sup.2 represents a hydroxyl group, a C.sub.1-C.sub.4 alkoxy group, a C.sub.1-C.sub.6 alkyl group or an oxygen atom bonded to a silicon atom of another monomer.

In a process for upgrading paraffins and olefins, a first feed comprising C.sub.14 olefins is contacted with an oligomerization catalyst in a first reaction zone under conditions effective for oligomerization of olefins to higher molecular weight hydrocarbons. Deactivated catalyst is removed from the first reaction zone at a first temperature and is contacted with an oxygen-containing gas and a hydrocarbon-containing fuel in a regeneration zone to regenerate the catalyst and raise the temperature of the catalyst to a second, higher temperature. A second feed comprising C.sub.14 paraffins is contacted with the regenerated catalyst in a second reaction zone to convert at least some of the paraffins in the second feed to a reaction effluent comprising olefins, aromatic hydrocarbons and regenerated catalyst; and the reaction effluent is supplied to the first reaction zone. A system for performing such a process and a product of such a process are also provided.

A process for the production of ethylene-based polymers from waste plastics feedstocks includes the steps in this order of: providing a hydrocarbon stream A obtained by treatment of a waste plastics feedstock; providing a hydrocarbon stream B; supplying a feed C including a fraction of the hydrocarbon stream A and a fraction of the hydrocarbon stream B to a thermal cracker furnace having cracking coil(s); performing a thermal cracking operation in the presence of steam to obtain a cracked hydrocarbon stream D; supplying the cracked hydrocarbon stream D to a separation unit to obtain a product stream E containing ethylene; supplying the product stream E to a polymerisation reactor; and performing a polymerisation reaction to obtain an ethylene-based polymer; wherein in step (d): the coil outlet temperature is ?800 and ?870? C.; and the weight ratio of steam to feed C is >0.3 and <0.8.

A process for dimerizing and oligomerizing olefins to distillate fuels which subjects oligomerized product to hydrocracking and hydroisomerization in a single reactor to convert heavier oligomers to jet fuel range oligomers. A jet fuel product stream may be taken from a side of a stripping column which produces a heavy drag stream from a bottom of the stripping column to ensure an end point boiling specification is achieved.

Integrated systems are provided for the production of higher hydrocarbon compositions, for example liquid hydrocarbon compositions, from methane using an oxidative coupling of methane system to convert methane to ethylene, followed by conversion of ethylene to selectable higher hydrocarbon products. Integrated systems and processes are provided that process methane through to these higher hydrocarbon products.
