Definitions
- the invention relates to a method and an associated system for producing synthetic kerosene from oxygenates, such as methanol.
- WO2006/076942A1 discloses a process for producing synthetic fuels from oxygenates. Returns are also described here, such as the return of predominantly saturated hydrocarbons after an oligomerization step back to olefin production (MTO step). In addition, unsaturated hydrocarbons are recycled for oligomerization.
- the oligomerization step i.e. H. chain extension, in the synthesis of diesel fuel, among other things.
- a fraction of light cracked naphtha was chosen as light olefins, which is composed of C5 to C6 compounds and is characterized by a high proportion of olefins.
- the catalyst used was the zeolitic catalyst H-ZSM-5.
- the authors also refer to the Catpoly process, in which a catalyst made from phosphoric acid on kieselguhr converts C3 to C4 olefins into oligomers with a boiling point in the gasoline or aircraft fuel range.
- WO2018/045397A1 also discloses a process for producing aircraft fuel by oligomerizing light olefins from Fischer-Tropsch synthesis using a ZSM-5 zeolite catalyst. A gasoline fraction is then distilled off and the remaining oligomerization product is hydrogenated using Co/Mo or Pt catalysts. As a product, kerosene can be obtained both with a low aromatic content and with an aromatic content of over 8% by volume.
- US4,506,106 deals with the entire process, starting from oxygenates, especially methanol, up to the distillate hydrocarbons, with ethylene being produced as an intermediate using a gasoline sorbent stream from a hydrocarbon stream with predominantly light components that are rich in C2 to C4 olefins is washed out. The ethylene is then discharged as a chemical byproduct of the process. After absorption, the gasoline sorbent stream is led to oligomerization.
- the object of the invention is to develop a process and the associated system that allows the production of synthetic fuels, in particular kerosene as well as gasoline and diesel components.
- the fuel obtained should be obtained with good yield. In particular, the fuel should contain few aromatics.
- step I) olefins are produced in the olefin production unit (I), which are then separated off in the absorption II) according to the invention by means of the absorption unit (II).
- the oligomerization III) is carried out in the oligomerization unit (III), the hydrogenation IV) in the hydrogenation unit (IV) and the separation V) using a separation unit (Va and/or Vb). Explanations for the process steps therefore also directly affect the system components.
- Step V) and system part (V), ((V) includes (Va) and/or (Vb)) are located at various points in the method according to the invention. That is, (V) is arranged in the form of the separation unit (Va) after (III) and/or in the form of the separation unit (Vb) after (IV).
- process steps and the associated system parts also require appropriate equipment.
- the separation process step is carried out by the separation unit in the system.
- a separation unit in the plant corresponds, for example, to the arrangement of one or more pieces of equipment, such as a distillation column or phase separator.
- a return in the process requires, for example, a corresponding line from one part of the system to another part of the system to which it is to be returned.
- the present invention is a process and a plant for producing a synthetic kerosene as the main product, as well as gasoline components and diesel components as co-products.
- synthetic kerosene is a fuel whose main components are hydrocarbons with chain lengths of C9+, in particular C9 to C17. These are mainly paraffins and naphthenes.
- the synthetic kerosene produced has an aromatic content of 0% by volume to 20% by volume, in particular it is below 10% by volume, particularly preferably from 0% by volume to 8% by volume.
- the kerosene is characterized by a characteristic boiling curve, with the components preferably boiling in the range from 130 to 300 ° C.
- Kerosene also has a density of 775 to 840 g/cm 3 .
- the freezing point should generally be in the range of -40 °C to -60 °C, depending on the specification.
- Steps I), III) and IV) contained in the following description are catalytic, i.e. H. using a catalyst, even if the term “catalytic” is omitted below.
- Range information for hydrocarbon contents of fractions are, of course, always idealized information, i.e. H. the majority of hydrocarbons fall within this range.
- Information for chain lengths such as C8- or C9+ means hydrocarbons with a chain length of ⁇ C8 or ⁇ C9.
- Oxygenates (a)) are used as the feedstock for the olefin production unit (I).
- Oxygenates are hydrocarbon compounds containing oxygen, such as: B. alcohols and ethers.
- the number of carbon atoms is preferably C1 to C4. This particularly includes methanol (MeOH) and dimethyl ether (DME), especially MeOH.
- the starting material contains different proportions of water, particularly preferably 0 to 40% by weight.
- This feedstock is mixed with the cycle gas (c)) and fed to the olefin production unit (I).
- the cycle gas preferably contains non-reactive components such as CH 4 , ethane, H 2 , CO and CO 2 as well as reactive components such as ethylene. Furthermore, unreacted oxygenates may be present.
- the olefin production unit (I) contains at least one fixed bed reactor (an isothermal tubular reactor is particularly preferred) in which the oxygenates (a)) are converted into olefins in the presence of a catalyst. This reaction is exothermic. The main products of the reaction are propene and butenes. In addition, a certain proportion of ethylene and olefins C5+ are formed. Paraffins, naphthenes and aromatics are formed as by-products. The olefin-containing mixture (b) is obtained as a mixture of these components and the non-reactive components.
- the temperature during olefin production in step I) is preferably 200 ° C to 600 ° C, particularly preferably 300 ° C to 500 ° C, in particular 450 ° C to 500 ° C.
- the pressure is preferably 1 bar to 6 bar, particularly preferably 2 bar to 5 bar, in particular 2 bar to 4.5 bar.
- the mass-related space velocity (oxygenate load) of the catalyst used is preferably 1 to 10 kg of oxygenate per h and kg of catalyst (1/h).
- the olefin-containing mixture of substances is obtained as a product of the olefin production unit (I). This mixture of substances is fed to the absorption unit (II). In the absorption unit (II), the absorbent and the olefin-containing mixture (b)) are contacted and, by means of absorption, predominantly C3+ hydrocarbons are absorbed from the olefin-containing mixture into the absorbent. The remaining cycle gas (c)) is enriched with ethylene and is returned to the olefin production unit (I).
- the absorbent is, as in the Figures 1.1ac and 1.2 shown, taken from the separation units (Va) and/or (Vb). This is generally a mixture of hydrocarbons.

It cannot be avoided that a certain proportion of light hydrocarbons C1 to C2 as well as permanent gases (CO, CO 2 , H 2 ) are absorbed in the absorbent and enter the oligomerization unit (III). Under the reaction conditions of oligomerization, these light components can be considered non-reactive or, as in the case of ethylene, unreactive. These light components are therefore also contained in the reaction product of the oligomerization.
- the oligomerization unit (III) contains a separation stage (III/S1), which in Fig. 2.1a and Fig. 2.1b is shown
- the crude oligomer 2 (q)) present after the oligomerization reaction is separated in this stage (III/S1), for example by separation, into a fraction of low boilers (o)) and a remaining fraction (crude oligomer (g))).

This dilution serves to better control the heat transfer in the olefin production reactor I). This and the conversion of the recycled ethylene into C3+ olefins and their subsequent conversion in oligomerization III) increase the yield of kerosene.
- C3 to C8 olefins are converted to higher olefins in the C number range of kerosene and thus the yield of the kerosene is increased Kerosene.

- the reaction temperature For the synthesis of kerosene hydrocarbons, it is necessary to limit the reaction temperature to a certain range. For this, the reaction mixture must be cooled.
- the reaction mixture is mixed directly with a non-reactive liquid fluid.
- a non-reactive liquid fluid for this purpose, an absorbent consisting of C9+ paraffins and C9+ naphthenes is used.
- the high enthalpy of vaporization of these components allows for better control over the temperature within a catalyst bed. If direct cooling is not used within the bed If the measures taken for this alone are not sufficient, then the temperature increase caused by the exothermicity of the reaction must be limited by adjusting the progress of the reaction. This is achieved by dividing the catalyst bed.
- the reaction mixture leaves the catalyst bed at an elevated temperature and is cooled before entering another catalyst bed. This so-called intermediate cooling can be carried out using a corresponding heat exchanger and/or by directly injecting a cooler fluid into the reaction mixture.
- the oligomerization unit (III) is divided into several stages. This is exemplified in Fig. 2.2a and in Fig. 2.2b shown.
- a stage represents either a catalyst bed within a reactor or a reactor with one or more catalyst beds.
- the stages (III.1) and (III.2) were shown for illustration purposes, but further stages are also possible.
- the Figures 2.2a and 2.2b contain all possible feeds from II) and returns from the separation unit (Va), although not all feeds and returns have to be combined when using this embodiment.
- the olefin-containing fraction (d)) coming from the absorption unit (II) is divided into the corresponding stages. This is also possible for the partially loaded absorbent (f)).
- the returns of the C3 to C5 hydrocarbon fraction (p)) and the C5 to C8 hydrocarbon fraction (v)) from the separation unit (Va) are also divided into the different stages.
- the corresponding streams (d)), (f)), (p)) and (v)) can each be distributed to the stages in different proportions. These streams are generally at a lower temperature level than that of the oligomerization reaction. (please refer Fig. 2.2a )
- the intermediate product of the oligomerization (w)) is cooled by partial streams from (d)), (f)), (p)) and (v)).
- control over the reaction temperature is advantageously achieved. This ensures high selectivities and high kerosene yields.
- olefin-rich fractions of C5 to C8 hydrocarbons are advantageously mixed with C3 olefins and C4 olefins before their implementation in the oligomerization. This results in an increase in kerosene yield.
- the returns of the C3 to C5 hydrocarbon fraction (p)) and the C5 to C8 hydrocarbon fraction (v)) contain a certain proportion of paraffins, which were mainly originally created as by-products in olefin production I). This Paraffins are not reactive in oligomerization III).
- a dilution of the reaction mixture is achieved at the entrance to a stage. This advantageously achieves additional control over the reaction temperature and consequently ensures high kerosene yields.
- the intermediate product of the oligomerization (w)) is passed after stage (III.1) to a separation stage (e.g. by means of separation) (III/S2) and subsequently to the separation unit (Va).
- the intermediate product of the oligomerization (w)) is separated into a fraction of low boilers (o)) and a remaining heavy fraction (intermediate product oligomerization 2 (x))).
- the latter is fed to the separation unit (Va).
- the C3 to C8 olefins are transferred from the separation unit (Va) to a subsequent stage (III.2) of the oligomerization III) or to the first Stage (III.1) returned.

- Each additional stage with partial sales increases the overall level of sales.
- a high yield of kerosene is advantageously achieved with a high selectivity in the oligomerization III) with an increase in the overall degree of conversion.
- the oligomer from step III) is diluted upon entering step IV) by recycling a portion of the hydrogenated product to step IV).
- the oligomer preferably comes from the separation unit (Va) and the hydrogenated product for dilution is taken between (IV/S1) and (Vb) (see Fig. 2.3 ).
- step IV) is carried out in several stages, wherein hydrogen and/or a portion of a heavy oligomer and/or the product hydrogenated in IV) is used for intermediate cooling (between the hydrogenation stages).
- the dilution or intermediate cooling advantageously leads to better control over the reaction temperature. This also ensures that the catalyst has a long service life.
- Hydrogenation is also a highly exothermic reaction. At elevated temperatures, cracking can occur as a side reaction and the catalyst can deactivate more quickly.
- the heavy oligomer (h) originating from the separation unit (Va) serves as the feed mixture. It is a mixture of C9+ hydrocarbons, which consists mainly of olefins. A certain proportion of aromatics is also included.
- the reaction temperature In order to achieve almost complete hydrogenation of the product, it is necessary to set the reaction temperature within a certain range. The temperature increase must be limited by adjusting the progress of the reaction. This is done analogously to oligomerization by cooling the reaction mixture and dividing the catalyst bed.
- the hydrogenation unit (IV) is therefore divided into several stages. This is exemplified in Fig. 2.3 shown. Here a stage represents either a Catalyst bed within a reactor or a reactor with one or more catalyst beds.
- the corresponding intermediate product of the hydrogenation (y)) is passed from one stage to the subsequent stage.
- part of the hydrogenated product (i)) is also removed between (IV/S1) and (Vb) and returned to the hydrogenation unit (IV).
- the hydrogenated product (i)) consists mainly of C9+ paraffins and C9+ naphthenes. These components do not behave reactively within the hydrogenation IV). This fraction of the hydrogenated product (i)) is preferably recycled to 10 to 90% by weight.
- the heavy oligomer (h)) coming from the separation unit (Va) is, like the returns of the hydrogenated product (i)) and the hydrogen-rich fraction (t)), including the supply of fresh hydrogen (u)), divided into the various stages .
- the corresponding streams (h)), (i)) and (t)) can each be distributed to the stages in different proportions. These streams are generally at a lower temperature level than the hydrogenation reaction.
- the hydrogenation intermediate product (y)) is cooled at the entrance to stage (IV.2).
- Contacting the heavy oligomer (h)) with a partial stream of the hydrogenated product (i)) leads to a dilution of the reactive feed and enables the high enthalpy of vaporization of the C9+ paraffins and C9+ naphthenes to be used for cooling within the bed.
- control over the reaction temperature and the suppression of side reactions are advantageously achieved.
- the hydrogenation is optimized accordingly and a high kerosene yield is ensured.
- By controlling the reaction temperature a long service life of the catalyst is also achieved.
- water is separated from the olefin-containing mixture of substances and returned to the catalytic olefin production in step I).
- This advantageously leads to a dilution of the feed from step I), which serves to better control the heat transfer and thus better control over the temperature, with the advantages already mentioned above, among others. also high olefin selectivities and yields, and ultimately high kerosene yields.
- the return of the water also advantageously slows down the formation of coke.
- the formation of coke on the catalyst blocks active centers and thereby reduces the activity of the catalyst. Consequently, by recycling the water, a long cycle time and service life of the catalyst is achieved.
- a fraction of C8+ hydrocarbons is separated from the olefin-containing mixture of substances and passed to step IV) and/or step V).
- the oligomerization is protected from the coke formation potential emanating from these components . Due to the lower deactivation, long cycle times and a long service life of the catalyst are achieved in the oligomerization. Furthermore, a high kerosene yield is advantageously achieved.
- the product of olefin production I) is an olefin-containing mixture of substances. Olefins contained therein are removed using absorption II). During the contact of the olefin-containing substance mixture (b)) with the liquid absorbent, predominantly hydrocarbons C3+ are dissolved in the absorbent. As noted above, this process is facilitated by elevated pressures and low temperatures. Consequently, the olefin-containing mixture of substances must be cooled and/or its pressure level raised before entering the absorption unit (II). In both cases this is associated with the formation of a liquid product portion.
- the product range from olefin production I) contains two separation stages (I/S1) and (I/S2). This is in Fig. 2.4 shown. Here, the reaction product of olefin production (olefin-containing mixture 2 (z)) is separated into a gaseous phase, a liquid organic phase and a liquid-aqueous phase using a three-phase separator (I/S1).
- the liquid-aqueous phase consists mainly of water (aa)). Part of this water (aa)) is added to the feedstock for olefin production I). This is advantageous in the Olefin production I) achieves a dilution of the reactive feed. This dilution serves to better control the heat transfer and thus better control over the temperature in the olefin production reactor I). This advantageously ensures high olefin selectivities and yields, and ultimately high kerosene yields. By recycling the water (aa)), coke formation is also advantageously slowed down and thus a long cycle time and service life of the catalyst is achieved.
- the liquid organic phase contains C8+ hydrocarbons (ab)), which are already formed to a small extent during the olefin production reaction.
- the liquid organic phase (ab)) is fed to the separation unit (Va) and/or the hydrogenation unit (IV).
- Light hydrocarbons, in particular light olefins, which have dissolved in the liquid organic phase during phase deposition, are separated off in the separation unit (Va) and fed to the oligomerization III) via the corresponding returns.
- the higher hydrocarbons of the liquid organic phase advantageously enter the hydrogenation IV) together with the heavy oligomer (h)).
- the hydrogenation of the higher hydrocarbons contained in the liquid organic phase advantageously increases the kerosene yield.
- the C8+ hydrocarbons of the liquid organic phase (ab)) consist largely of aromatics.
- hydrocarbons When hydrocarbons are reacted over acidic catalysts, such components act as precursors to coke formation. By removing these components for hydrogenation IV), the oligomerization III) is protected from the coke formation potential emanating from these components. Due to the lower deactivation, long cycle times and a long service life of the catalyst can be achieved in oligomerization. By hydrogenating the aromatics, a kerosene low in aromatics is advantageously obtained.
- the gaseous phase (olefin-containing mixture (b))) is fed to the absorption unit (II).
- the liquid organic phase (olefin-containing mixture 4 (ad))) consists mainly of C3+ olefins and is fed to the oligomerization unit (III) and/or the separation unit (Va).

- the liquid mixture of methanol and water was conveyed to the reactor using a pump. The flow was controlled using a flow meter. Ethylene and the non-reactive gaseous components were dosed using a mass flow controller. The mixture of these gases was added to the evaporator along with the liquid feed. The feed mixture produced in this way was then fed to the reactor. After the reactor, the product stream was cooled using ice water. This caused part of the product to condense. The liquid reaction product was separated from the gaseous reaction product in a separator.
- the amount of condensate was recorded and the corresponding mass flow was determined based on the duration of the experiment.
- the mass flow of the gaseous product resulted from the difference in the mass flows of the feed mixture and condensate.
- the compositions of gaseous and liquid product fractions were analyzed by gas chromatography. On this basis, the degree of conversion of methanol and the yield of olefins were calculated.

- the amount of intermediate product (C2 to C8) remaining as a result of a partial conversion can be converted into the target product kerosene with high selectivity in the overall process through appropriate further reaction stages and recycling of the C3 to C8 hydrocarbon fraction. This is based on the preferred embodiments Fig. 2.2a and Fig. 2.2b and the associated ones Figures 2.2a and 2.2b shown.
- the hydrogenation tests IV were carried out on a test facility.
- a tube was used as a reactor, into which a metal catalyst with nickel was filled.
- Thermocouples are installed throughout the reactor to control the reaction temperature.
- the liquid feed was metered into the reactor using pumps.
- the hydrogen was introduced into the reactor using a mass flow controller.
- a mixture of olefins including dienes in the range from C8 to C24 was fed to the reactor together with a proportion of approximately 9% by weight of aromatics in the range from C7 to C9.
- This reaction feed was diluted with a liquid non-reactive hydrocarbon mixture.
- the product was cooled and separated into a gaseous and a liquid phase using a separator. Samples of both phases were analyzed by gas chromatography and wet chemistry.
- a temperature of 150 °C and a pressure of 60 bar were set.
- the hydrogen/hydrocarbon ratio (gas/oil ratio) was set to 400 Nm 3 /m 3 .
- the system is based schematically on the Fig. 2.5 .
- This figure has the origin Fig. 1.1c and the system contains features from the Fig. 2.1.a , 2.1b and 2.4.
- the plant therefore contains the corresponding plant parts of the olefin production (I), the absorption unit (II), the Oligomerization unit (III), the hydrogenation unit (IV) and the separation unit (V).
- This system therefore represents a design of the overall process.
- the feed for olefin production I) consists of the oxygenate methanol (a)) (100% methanol), of which 300 kg/h were used in the present example, a dilution with water (aa)) from the separator (I/S1) and the recycled cycle gas (c)) from step II).
- Olefin production I takes place using the methods described.
- the temperature is in the range of 450 to 500 °C and the pressure is in the range of 3 to 4.5 bar.
- the reaction product of the olefin production is cooled, whereby liquid is condensed, which is predominantly water.
- This liquid-aqueous phase is separated off in the separator (I/S1) and a portion is returned to the olefin production reaction (aa)).
- This is followed by compression stages, each with downstream liquid separation (separation stage (I/S2)) for the necessary pressure increase for the absorption unit (II).
- a liquid aqueous phase is removed from the process and an organic liquid phase (olefin-containing substance mixture 4 (ad))) is collected and this is fed to the oligomerization (III).
- the gas phase now obtained is fed to the absorption unit (II) as an olefin-containing mixture (b)).
- the C5 to C8 hydrocarbon fraction (e)) is used as an absorbent.
- the cycle gas (c)) is obtained during absorption.
- This cycle gas (c)) contains the components not absorbed by the absorbent, such as. Ethylene. These are returned to the olefin production unit (I).
- an olefin-containing fraction (d)) enriched predominantly with C3 to C4 hydrocarbons and a part of the absorbent (f)) are transferred to step III).
- All of the described streams (ad), f) and d)) are fed to the oligomerization III).
- the oligomerization takes place in a temperature range of 200 to 300 °C and in a pressure range of 10 to 70 bar.
- the product of oligomerization III), the so-called crude oligomer (g)), is separated in the separation unit (Va).
- the C5 to C8 hydrocarbon fraction is separated off as unloaded absorbent (e)) and returned to the absorption unit (II). Overall, non-condensable components resulting from the separations are removed from the process. In addition, the C3 to C8 hydrocarbons (m)) are recycled. Thus, part of the C5 to C8 hydrocarbon fraction (v)) becomes Oligomerization III) and used as an absorbent in order to be able to use as many olefins as possible in the oligomerization III).
- the heavy oligomer (h)) is fed to hydrogenation IV). To the hydrogenation IV), excess hydrogen (u)) is added and the excess hydrogen is released.
- the hydrogenation takes place in a temperature range of 90 to 200°C and in a pressure range of 40 to 80 bar.
