Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

In a process for the catalytic conversion of organic oxygenates to hydrocarbons, a feed comprising at least one organic oxygenate is contacted with a zeolite catalyst under conditions effective to produce a hydrocarbon product comprising aromatics, olefins and paraffins. At least a fraction of the hydrocarbon product containing C 4+ hydrocarbons, including at least part of the olefins, is then contacted with hydrogen in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst under conditions effective to saturate at least part of the olefins in the C 4+ -containing fraction and produce a hydrogenated effluent containing less than 1 wt % olefins. The hydrogenated effluent is useful as a diluent for heavy crude oils.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A process for the catalytic conversion of organic oxygenates to hydrocarbons, the process comprising: (a) contacting a feed comprising at least one organic oxygenate with a zeolite catalyst under conditions effective to produce a hydrocarbon product comprising aromatics, paraffins, and olefins; (b) contacting at least a fraction of the hydrocarbon product containing C 4+ hydrocarbons comprising at least 40 wt. % olefins and aromatics, with hydrogen in the…
