example

[0125] In the present example, two Fischer-Tropsch reactors are connected in series. The cobalt-based Fischer-Tropsch catalyst was loaded in two reactors and reduced. The upstream reactor (named R1) is supplied with syngas, and the downstream reactor (named R2) receives the waste gas from the upstream reactor.

[0126] The exhaust gas contains unreacted hydrogen and carbon monoxide. In each instance, one reactor was just started and the other reactor was degraded in activity. In the basic case, both reactors are operated at the same production rate, but at different operating temperatures. Table 1 lists the amount of gas, solvent, LDF, HDF, SX-30, SX-50, SX-70, SX-100 / 105.

[0127] In Table 1, the first three rows provide reaction conditions. Y (yes) or N (no) is used to indicate the addition of ammonia. Based on the Fischer-Tropsch product stream, the product gas, solvent, LDF, HDF, SX-30, SX-50, SX-70, SX-100 / 105 are expressed in weight %.

[0128] In the first example accord...

example 2

[0135] Example 2 clearly shows a decrease in gas, solvent, LDF, but an increase in SX-100 / 105. The amount of HDF, SX-30, SX-50, Sx-70 remains unchanged. These observations indicate that increasing the temperature of the two reactors leads to an increase in the C41+ selectivity of the Fischer-Tropsch catalyst.

example 3

[0136] Example 3 clearly shows an increase in gas, solvent, LDF, HDF, SX-30, SX-50, SX-70, but a decrease in SX-100 / 105.

[0137] These observations indicate that adding ammonia to the synthesis gas stream and increasing the temperature in one reactor, while reducing the temperature in the other reactor, results in a decrease in the C41+ selectivity of the Fischer-Tropsch catalyst.

[0138] Therefore, these examples clearly show that by considering the state of the catalyst present in each reactor in the Fischer-Tropsch reactor system, the content of the product stream can be well controlled. The "groups" and the periodic table mentioned herein refer to the new IUPAC version of the periodic table, such as those described in the 87th edition of the Handbook of Chemistry and Physics (CRC Press).

Abstract

The present invention relates to a process to prepare paraffins and waxes from a gas mixture comprising hydrogen and carbon monoxide in at least two conversion reactors, being a first and second reactor, said reactors comprising catalysts, which process at least comprises the following steps: (a) providing the gas mixture to one or more conversion reactors; (b) catalytically converting the gas mixture of step (a) at an initial reaction condition to obtain an initial Fischer-Tropsch product comprising paraffins having from 5 to 300 carbon atoms; (c) combining the initial Fischer-Tropsch productstreams from each of the at least two reactors of step (b) to obtain a combined Fischer-Tropsch product stream; (d) subjecting the combined Fischer-Tropsch product stream of step (c) to a hydrogenation step to obtain a hydrogenated Fischer-Tropsch product stream; (e) separating the hydrogenated Fischer-Tropsch product stream of step (d), thereby obtaining at least a fraction comprising 5 to 9 carbon atoms, a fraction comprising 10 to 17 carbon atoms and a fraction comprising 18 to 300 carbon atoms; (f) separating the hydrogenated fraction comprising 18 to 300 carbon atoms of step (e), therebyobtaining one or more light waxes having a congealing point in the range of 30 to 75 DEG C and a heavy wax having a congealing point in the range of 75 to 120 DEG C, wherein subsequently the relativeconcentration of the fraction comprising 5 to 9 carbon atoms, the fraction comprising 10 to 17 carbon atoms, the concentration of the light waxes and the concentration of the heavy waxes is changed by raising, lowering or maintaining the reaction temperature of at least one of the reactors.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a process for preparing paraffins and waxes from a gas feed stream containing hydrogen and carbon monoxide in at least two conversion reactors as a first reactor and a second reactor, the reactors including a catalyst. Background technique [0002] Paraffins and paraffins can be obtained through various processes. US 2,692,835 and EP2655565 disclose a method for obtaining paraffins and paraffins from crude oil. Furthermore, paraffins and paraffins can be obtained using the so-called Fischer-Tropsch method. An example of such a process is disclosed in WO2002 / 102941, EP 1 498 469, WO 2004 / 009739, WO 2013 / 064539 and WO 2014095814. [0003] The Fischer-Tropsch process can be used to convert synthesis gas into liquid and / or solid hydrocarbons. Synthesis gas can be obtained from hydrocarbon-containing feedstocks by a process in which feedstocks such as natural gas, associated gas and / or coalbed methane, heavy and / or residual oil ...
