Abstract
An oligomerization process is provided for upgrading lower olefins to distillate hydrocarbons, especially useful as high quality jet or diesel fuels. The olefinic feedstock is reacted over a shape selective acid zeolite, such as ZSM-5, to oligomerize feedstock olefins and further convert recycled hydrocarbons. Reactor effluent is fractionated to recover a light-middle distillate range product stream and to obtain gasoline and heavy hydrocarbon streams for recycle.

Catalytic conversion of olefins to higher hydrocarbons

TL;DR: In this paper, an improved continuous process for converting lower olefinic hydrocarbon feedstock to C5+ liquid hydrocarbons by contacting vapor phase OLEF feedstream with acid zeolite catalyst in the presence of recycled diluent stream rich in C3-C4 hydrocarbon in an enclosed reactor at elevated temperature and pressure is presented.

Catalytic conversion system for oligomerizing olefinic feedstock to produce heavier hydrocarbons

TL;DR: In this paper, a continuous catalytic process for oligomerizing lower olefins to heavier hydrocarbons is improved by a technique which comprises cooling catalytically converted effluent, fractionating the effluent to obtain a condensed lower aliphatic recycle stream, a liquid C 3 -C 4 product stream, and a liquid product stream consisting essentially of C 5 + hydrocarbon and a gaseous C 2 -gaseous stream by the sequential fractionation steps.
