A process and system for converting a high-pour-point organic feedstock to an upgraded product that exhibits good low-temperature properties (cloud point, pour point, and viscosity) and improved transportability. The high-efficiency process includes a continuous-flow, high-rate hydrothermal reactor system and integrated separation systems that result in low complexity, small footprint, high energy efficiency, and high yields of high-quality upgraded product. The system is specifically desirable for use in converting waxy feedstocks, such as yellow and black wax petroleum crudes and wax from the Fischer-Tropsch (FT) process, into upgraded crude that exhibits a high diesel fraction and, correspondingly, low vacuum gas oil (VGO) fraction.

Disclosed herein is a system and method capable of producing benzene from a product stream.

A process for preparing normal paraffins involves separating a Fischer-Tropsch product stream to obtain first gaseous and liquid hydrocarbon streams. The first gaseous hydrocarbon stream is cooled and separated to obtain a second liquid hydrocarbon stream and a third liquid hydrocarbon stream, which are hydrogenated. The hydrogenated liquid hydrocarbon stream is separated by distillation to obtain a hydrogenated normal paraffin fraction comprising 5 to 9 carbon atoms, a hydrogenated normal paraffin fraction comprising 10 to 13 carbon atoms, a hydrogenated normal paraffin fraction comprising 14 to 18 carbon atoms, and a hydrogenated normal paraffin fraction comprising 19 to 35 carbon atoms.

Disclosed herein is a system and method capable of producing butadiene from a product stream.

The present invention relates to a method for reducing the cloud point of a Fischer-Tropsch derived fraction to below 0 C., wherein the method comprises subjecting the Fischer-Tropsch derived fraction to a cloud point reduction step comprising mixing the Fischer-Tropsch derived fraction, which comprises more than 80 wt. % of paraffins and 90 wt. % of saturates, with a solvent mixture (16), wherein the solvent mixture (16) comprises a paraffinic naphtha fraction (7) and a co-solvent (15); and subjecting the solvent treatment mixture (23) to a solvent de-waxing step (17).

Disclosed are a pretreatment method and system for a fraction oil for the production of alkylbenzene, the method comprising: adding a fraction oil, a weak base solution and an inorganic salt solution into a reactor, and leaving same to stand and layering same after the reaction is complete; adding water and an inorganic salt solution into an oil phase for washing with water; extracting same with a polar solvent having a high boiling point, and then adsorbing same with an adsorbent to separate oxygen-containing compounds in the neutral fraction oil; sending the extraction agent containing the oxygen-containing compounds to an extraction agent recovery unit; and then sending the neutral fraction oil to an alkylation reactor for a reaction.

The invention relates to a method for treating oxygenated volatile organic compounds in Fischer-Tropsch synthesis reaction water. Fischer-Tropsch synthesis reaction water is subjected to (a) primary concentration and separation, (b) carbonyl compound hydrogenation, (c) carbonyl compound cutting, (d) mixed-alcohol dehydration, (e) solvent recovery, (f) ethyl alcohol separation, (g) methyl alcohol removal and separation, (h) isopropanol separation, (i) propyl alcohol cutting, (j) n-propyl alcohol separation, and (k) 2-butanol separation, so that basic organic chemicals such as ethyl alcohol, isopropanol, n-propyl alcohol, 2-butanol and mixed alcohols are obtained. Compared with the prior art, the method directly converts the concentrated Fischer-Tropsch synthesis water rich in alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, acids, and esters into a mixed-alcohol solution by hydrogenation, thus having the advantages of simple separation process and high product purity.

A process for the generation of energy and/or hydrocarbons and other products utilizing carbonaceous materials. In a first process stage (P1) the carbonaceous materials are supplied and are pyrolysed, wherein pyrolysis coke (M21) and pyrolysis gas (M22) are formed. In a second process stage (P2), the pyrolysis coke (M21) from the first process stage (P1) is gasified, wherein synthesis gas (M24) is formed, and slag and other residues (M91, M92, M93, M94) are removed. In a third process stage (P3), the synthesis gas (M24) from the second process stage (P2) is converted into hydrocarbons and/or other solid, liquid, and/or gaseous products (M60), which are discharged. The three process stages (P1, P2, P3) form a closed cycle. Surplus gas (M25) from the third process stage (P3) is passed as recycle gas into the first process stage (P1), and/or the second process stage (P2), and pyrolysis gas (M22) from the first process stage (P1) is passed into the second process stage (P2), and/or the third process stage (P3).

A method for producing a wax isomerized oil, comprising a step of providing an ethylene polymer wax, a step of hydrocracking the ethylene polymer wax by a hydrocracking catalyst to obtain a cracked product, and a step of isomerization dewaxing the cracked product by a hydroisomerization catalyst to obtain a wax isomerized oil.

A syngas generator is disclosed as an exothermic gas generator that can accommodate high combustion temperatures of a natural gas/oxygen flame. The generator consists of four sections: a heavily insulated combustion chamber, a catalyst chamber, a spray chamber, and a heat exchanger. These four sections may be arranged in series and tightly bolted together to form a gas-tight system. Natural gas, oxygen and steam are supplied to a burner at the inlet end of the combustion chamber. This mixture is ignited and the resulting hot process gas is then fed into a catalyst bed where it reacts with the steam and is converted to carbon monoxide and hydrogen (syngas). The syngas is fed to a Fischer-Tropsch unit to create liquid fuel.
