Inverting the processing sequence converts oxygenates to hydrocarbons, reducing de-oiling stages and capital costs.
Hydrogenating Fischer-Tropsch streams before distillation improves wax colour and stability.
Skipping pre-hydrogenation during distillation prevents degradation, enabling hard wax production with superior thermal stability.
Segmenting Fischer-Tropsch streams reduces equipment size and corrosion while maintaining production capacity.
Distilling Fischer-Tropsch feed without initial hydrogenation while applying hydrofinishing to prevent degradation and maintain high Saybolt color.
