ABSTRACT:

This quarter, the sixth run of the two stage bench-scale unit (BSU) was completed and the seventh started. Many of the new features of the pilot plant were successfully tested, and low methane + ethane yields were achieved in both runs. Run CT-256-7 is the first to use an orifice-type feed-gas distributor. The 10.2 cm ID tall hot-flow column was shaken down, while further scoping hydrodynamic studies were performed in our short hot-flow bubble-columns. An improved chromatographic technique was developed for analyzing reactor-wax and some results are reported here.  Proprietary wax-upgrading studies are reported in the Mobil Proprietary Appendix. 3 refs., 10 figs., 4 tabs.
