Definitions

  • Poly alpha-olefins comprise a class of hydrocarbons manufactured by the catalytic oligomerization (polymerization to low-molecular-weight products) of linear alpha- olefin (LAO) monomers. These typically range from 1-octene to 1-dodecene, although oligomeric copolymers of lower olefins such as ethylene and propylene may also be used, including copolymers of ethylene with higher olefins as described in U.S. Patent 4,956, 122 and the patents referred to therein. PAO products have achieved importance in the lubricating oil market.
  • PAO synthetic hydrocarbon fluids
  • HVI-PAO high viscosity index PAO
  • PAOs and HVI-PAOs of different viscosity grades may be produced using promoted BF 3 or AICI 3 catalysts.
  • PAOs have found commercial success in the lubricant field for their superiority to mineral based lubricants.
  • research efforts have led to PAO fluids exhibiting useful viscosities over a wide range of temperatures, i.e., improved viscosity index, while also showing lubricity, thermal and oxidative stability and pour point equal to or better than mineral oil.
  • These relatively new synthetic lubricants lower mechanical friction, enhancing mechanical efficiency over the full spectrum of mechanical loads and do so over a wider range of operating conditions than mineral oil lubricants.
  • This invention is directed toward an improved process to make a polyolefin product, and specifically an improved filter cake wash system.
  • a method for preparing a liquid polyolefin comprising: contacting a feedstock comprising at least one olefin monomer with a catalyst system to produce a reactor effluent stream; filtering the reactor effluent stream, washing a created filter cake with a warm wash fluid comprising at least one hydrocarbon liquid; separating at least a portion of the wash fluid off during and after the washing; sending said portion of the wash fluid through a distillation process; and recovering at least a portion of the liquid polyolefin that was trapped in the filter cake.
  • This process may further comprise the steps of, prior to filtering, contacting the reactor effluent stream with a deactivator to deactivate the residual catalyst to produce a deactivated reactor effluent stream, and contacting the deactivated reactor effluent stream with a sorbent, wherein the sorbent is capable of chemically and physically interacting with the residual catalyst. It may also comprise the steps of, after distilling the separated portion of the wash fluid, recycling the light olefins obtained from this wash fluid to the reactor for further conversion into product and / or recycling the heavy olefins obtained from this wash fluid to the filter for use as additional wash fluid.

The remaining olefins from the main distillation may then be cooled and sent back to the filter drum as wash fluid.
  • This wash fluid distillation improves and optimizes the process in several ways. First, it optimizes the recovery of polyolefin product from the filter cake and the utilization of preferred feedstocks and wash fluids, as not only is polyolefin product recovered from the wash fluid, but both the light and heavy olefins recovered from the wash fluid may be recycled to the reactor and / or filter.
