Patent

CA 2675816

The disclosed invention relates to a process and apparatus for converting natural gas to higher molecular weight hydrocarbons. The process includes steam reforming to form synthesis gas followed by a Fischer-Tropsch reaction to convert the synthesis gas to the high molecular weight hydrocarbons. The reforming and Fischer-Tropsch reactions are conducted in microchannel reactors. The higher molecular weight hydrocarbons may be further treated to form hydrocarbon products such as middle distillate fuels, lubricating oils, and the like. The apparatus includes vessels containing SMR microchannel reactors and Fischer-Tropsch microchannel reactors. A composition comprising a mixture of olefins and paraffins is disclosed.

La présente invention concerne un procédé et un appareil destinés à convertir du gaz naturel en hydrocarbures à poids moléculaire supérieur. Le procédé comprend un reformage de vapeur pour former du gaz de synthèse, suivi d'une réaction de Fischer-Tropsch pour convertir le gaz de synthèse en hydrocarbures à poids moléculaire supérieur. Les réactions de reformage et de Fischer-Tropsch sont mises en oeuvre dans des réacteurs à micro-canaux. Les hydrocarbures à poids moléculaire supérieur peuvent ensuite être traités pour former des produits hydrocarbures tels que des carburants de distillat moyen, des huiles lubrifiantes et analogue. L'appareil comprend des récipients qui contiennent des réacteurs à micro-canaux SMR et des réacteurs à micro-canaux de Fischer-Tropsch. L'invention a également pour objet une composition comprenant un mélange d'oléfines et de paraffines.
