Reference is made to the accompanying flowsheet for the combined cracking--hydrogen generating steps which may be carried out continuously as one form of the present invention. This flowsheet is believed self-explanatory. Each of the above indicated reactions being known per se, a person skilled in the art will know how to carry For The method of this invention, when applied to natural gas liquids as a continuous furnace tube operation, may include a hydrogen generating step in which a part of 65 CnI Im+I1H20 nCO+ (n+m/2)H2 The product gas is then cooled to 700 to 1000 F. by water injection and the resultant steam-gas mixture the feed stream is utilized as a source of hydrogen.
this purpose, a part of the hydrocarbon feed stream is passed over a nickel catalyst with an amount of steam and at a temperature sufiicient to bring nearly to completion the reaction:
(with such added steam as may be required to force the 75 next following reaction to go nearly to completion) is out the combined process in the light of the disclosure given herein.
In general, about to of the feed stream may be converted into hydrogen, as by the method disclosed above. About 10% will usually be satisfactory. The amounts of hydrogen thus obtainable are exemplified as follows: One gallon of propane is capable of yielding 40 s. c. f. hydrogen, and one gallon of 12 lb. R. V. P. natural gasoline is capable of yielding 52 s. c. f. hydrogen.
Thus, according to the present invention, natural gas liquids and petroleum oils may be converted into fuel gases with a fuel gas yield higher than has heretofore been possible and with 20% less of liquid byproducts, as compared with conventional oil gas processes. Further, the fuel gas obtained is absolutely interchangeable with natural gas. Reference -is made to our copending application Serial Number 270,955 (filed February 11, 1952 and entitled Fuel Gas Interchangeable with Natural Gas and Method of Preparing the Same), now Patent No. 2,707,675, for a discussion of the interchangeability of fuel gases with each other.
The above noted features of the method of the present invention are of notable value. The demand for a fuel gas absolutely interchangeable with natural gas arises from the occurrence of a few days of peak gas requirement in the areas supplied with natural gas for domestic and/or industrial heating. On such days, the gas requirement rises above the delivery capacity of the pipe lines and must be met from other sources. The method of the present invention can supply large volumes of fuel gas interchangeable with natural gas without at the same time producing large amounts of liquid by-products, and the apparatus required to practice our methods can be relatively simple and inexpensive, which is important in view of the few days to which operation is confined.
Reference is made to our copending applications Serial Numbers 270,955 (filed February 11, 1952, and entitled Method of Making a Fuel Gas Interchangeable with Natural Gas, now Patent No. 2,707,675), 275,952 (filed March 11, 1952, and entitled Method of Making Oil Gas Interchangeable with Natural Gas), 287,122 (filed May 10, 1952 and entitled Method of Making Oil Gas Interchangeable with Natural Gas, now Patent No. 2,721,123) and 311,256 (filed September 24, 1952 and entitled Thermal Method of Making Oil Gas, now Patent No. 2,721,- 122). These applications disclose cracking methods for making oil gas in which the fuel gas yield can be increased by adding hydrogen in amounts of from 20 to 60 s. c. f./ gallon of liquid feed when the feed is cracked.
Many details may be varied without departing from the principles of this invention. Therefore, we do not intend to limit the scope of this patent otherwise than necessitated by the scope of the appended claims.
