20080250705 | Process for preparation and use of alcohols from a Fischer Tropsch process - Olefins and alcohols present in Fischer-Tropsch products are converted to primary and secondary alkyl alcohols having at least four carbons through acid catalyzed etherification and hydrolysis reactions. The alcohols are added to a highly isoparaffinic distillate fuel blend, improving the lubricity of the mixture, and forming a distillate fuel with improved lubricity. | 10-16-2008 |
20080319094 | PROCESS FOR MAKING FISCHER-TROPSCH OLEFINIC NAPHTHA AND HYDROGENATED DISTILLATES - A process is described by which an olefinic naphtha and a hydrogenated distillate fuel are made from a Fischer-Tropsch process. The olefinic naphtha is suitable for use in an ethylene cracker where the olefins enhance the formation of ethylene. Thy hydrogenated distillate fuel is used in jet and or diesel fuels. Optionally the olefinic naphtha has a low content of acids. This low acid content, is obtained by operating the Fischer-Tropsch unit at H | 12-25-2008 |
20090028775 | Process for Integrating Conversion of Hydrocarbonaceous Assets and Photobiofuels Production Using an Absorption Tower - The present invention is generally directed to processes that integrate CO | 01-29-2009 |
20090029446 | Integrated Process for Conversion of Hydrocarbonaceous Assets and Photobiofuels Production - The present invention is generally directed to processes that integrate CO | 01-29-2009 |
20090031617 | Paraffinic Biologically-Derived Distillate Fuels With Bio-Oxygenates For Improved Lubricity And Methods Of Making Same - The present invention is generally directed to methods for making fuels from biomass comprising triglyceride species, whereby the biomass is subjected to partial hydrodeoxygenation and (optionally) catalytic isomerization. The partial-hydrodeoxygenation of the triglyceride species produces a fuel that retains some oxygenates for enhanced lubricity. | 02-05-2009 |
20090137854 | Integration of molecular redistribution and hydroisomerization processes for the production of paraffinic base oil - The process as described herein produces a moderately aromatic isoparaffinic base oil from a distillate range product. This process comprises: (a) providing a distillate range paraffin feed comprising paraffins and cycloparaffins; (b) mildly reforming the distillate range paraffin feed to convert at least a portion of the cycloparaffins to alkylaromatics and provide a mildly reformed distillate range stream; (c) treating a stream comprising the mildly reformed distillate range stream in a molecular redistribution reactor to provide a distributed stream; (d) dewaxing at least a portion of the distributed stream to provide a dewaxed stream; (e) combining at least a portion of the dewaxed stream with the stream to be processed in the molecular redistribution reactor to provide the distributed stream; and (f) isolating a moderately aromatic isoparaffinic base oil from the dewaxed stream. According to another aspect, the process generates low ring content isoparaffinic base oil by hydrotreating the moderately aromatic isoparaffinic base oil. | 05-28-2009 |

20090173662 | Fischer-Tropsch Wax Composition and Method of Transport - The present invention relates to transportable product for the transportation of paraffinic wax and methods of transporting using this transportable product. The transportable product comprises 90 to 20 weight % of a liquid comprising >50 weight % alcohol and having a true vapor pressure of ≦14.7 psia when measured at 20° C., and 10 to 80 weight % of wax particles, wherein the wax particles comprise ≧75 weight % of wax particles larger than 0.1 mm. The transportable product and methods of transporting according to the present invention are able to accommodate a relatively high weight % of paraffinic wax particles in the transportable product while avoiding interparticle adhesion and clumping by ensuring that the wax particles are not too small and the amount of small wax particles is not excessive. | 07-09-2009 |
20100160700 | PROCESS AND CATALYSTS FOR REFORMING FISHER TROPSCH NAPHTHAS TO AROMATICS - Improved processes and catalysts are described for the conversion of oxygenate-containing olefinic Fischer Tropsch naphtha into aromatics. This involves removal of the oxygenates without complete saturation of the olefins followed by aromatization of the oxygenate-depleted olefinic naphtha preferably over a catalyst that is tolerant to oxygenates. | 06-24-2010 |
20110240288 | PROCESS AND SYSTEM FOR BLENDING SYNTHETIC AND NATURAL CRUDE OILS DERIVED FROM OFFSHORE PRODUCED FLUIDS - A process and system are described for the processing of gas associated with crude oil production, i.e. associated gas. A separation complex is used to separate produced fluids produced from a hydrocarbon reservoir into crude oil, liquefied petroleum gas, water, and natural gas. At least a portion of the natural gas is converted into synthesis gas in a synthesis gas generator. A combination of a synthesis gas conversion catalysts and hydroconversion catalysts are used in a synthesis gas reactor to convert the synthesis gas into a liquid effluent stream containing liquefied petroleum gas and a synthetic crude oil. The liquefied petroleum gas and synthetic crude oil from the synthesis gas reactor is sent to the separation complex. Liquefied petroleum gas is separated both from the synthetic crude oil and a natural crude oil obtained from the produced fluids. The system and process permits synthetic crude oil to be blended with the natural crude oil producing a blended stabilized crude oil having 2 wt % or more of the synthetic crude oil and with a pour point of 60° C. or less. Use of a common facility for separation operations on the natural crude oil and synthetic crude oil thus reduces capital costs and allows converted associated gases to be shipped with the natural crude oil on a conventional crude oil tanker. | 10-06-2011 |
