Abstract:
The present invention provides a reactor system (10) having: (1) a plurality of reactors (12) connected in fluid flow communication and having at least one pair of reactors (12a,b) separated by an interstage position (33); (2) a line (25) for supplying a reactant feed stream separately to an inlet (21) of more than one of the plurality of reactors (12a,b); and (3) a diverter (30) in fluid communication with the interstage position (33) and capable of directing a first portion of a product stream (32a) exiting one reactor (12a) in said pair of reactors (12a,b) to a first location (40) and a second portion of the product flow stream to an inlet (21b) of another reactor (12b) in said pair of reactors (12a,b).
Abstract:
Alkylation systems and processes are provided herein that include a slurry reactor. The slurry reactor receives a reactor feed slurry including catalyst and liquid isobutane, a olefin feed, and a circulating reactor vapor stream, where the slurry reactor produces a reactor liquid effluent stream, the reactor liquid effluent stream including catalyst, isobutane, and a liquid alkylate product. The catalyst in the reactor feed slurry can be regenerated catalyst from a catalyst regenerator. The catalyst can be regenerated after being removed from the liquid alkylate product and isobutane in the reactor liquid effluent stream.

Abstract:
A process and apparatus is presented for the improved selectivity of oxygenate conversion to olefins. The process includes passing a process stream through a two stage reactor, wherein the process stream is separated from the catalyst in the first stage before passing the process stream to the second stage. The catalyst is continuously passed through the two stages, and cycles through a regeneration unit to control the carbon content on the catalyst.
