ABSTRACT:

Scoping studies using conventional refinery technology to upgrade Fischer-Tropsch reactor-waxes were carried out. A Fischer-Tropsch reactor-wax, unlike the petroleum residues and waxes, is found very acceptable to conventional cracking processes. It was found that FCC followed by a Mobil proprietary olefins-to-(G + D) process gave the highest G + D yield and high G and D quality. Also described is a conceptual process design and scoping cost estimate for a 30,700 BPD G + D commercial plant. 5 refs., 7 figs., 23 tabs. (ERA citation 11:053701)
