Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a process and plant for converting a methanol feed stream into a gasoline product.
  • Embodiments of the invention include converting the methanol feed into raw gasoline, subsequently producing a stabilized gasoline by re moving C2-compounds and C3-C4 compounds from the raw gasoline, subsequently upgrading the stabilized gasoline, suitably by a hydroisomerization (HDI) and/or a hy drocracking step (HDC), conducting a methanol stream, suitably a portion of said meth anol feed stream, to an optional water removal step for producing a dehydrated metha nol stream, and blending the methanol stream, suitably the dehydrated methanol stream together with a separate stream comprising oxygenates other than methanol, with at least a portion of the upgraded gasoline stream for producing said gasoline product.
  • HDI hydroisomerization
  • HDC hy drocracking step
  • Embodiments of the invention further include combining the dehydrated meth anol and the oxygenates other than methanol into a multi-oxygenate blend prior to blending with the at least a portion of the upgraded gasoline stream.
  • the proportion of the dehydrated methanol to the oxygenates other than methanol in the multi-oxygenate blend is suitably 35 wt% or lower.
  • the octane rating of the gasoline product is thereby improved by incorporating into the upgraded gasoline stream methanol already availa ble in the process/plant produced by upstream methanol synthesis, so that the octane rating improvement is conducted in-situ i.e. during the operation of the process.
  • the methanol feed stream is produced upstream by methanol synthesis of a methanol syn thesis gas.
  • TIGASTM technology - Topsoe Improved Gasoline Synthesis provides for the option of producing gasoline from methanol (MTG), but also producing gasoline from a synthesis gas (STG).
  • synthesis of methanol, dimethyl ether (DME) and gasoline are inte grated by passing synthesis gas (gas mixture of H2, CO and CO2) to an oxygenate (methanol/DME) reactor and then converting the oxygenate(s) into gasoline in gasoline reactors.
  • synthesis gas gas mixture of H2, CO and CO2
  • oxygenate methanol/DME
  • the former is also a known technology for gasoline synthesis from oxygenates such as methanol. It involves a process/plant comprising a MTG section (methanol-to- gasoline section) and a downstream distillation section.
  • the MTG section may also be referred as MTG loop and comprises: a MTG reactor; a product separator for withdraw ing a bottom water stream, an overhead recycle stream from which an optional fuel gas stream may be derived, as well as a raw gasoline stream comprising C2 compounds, C3-C4 paraffins (LPG) and C5+ hydrocarbons (gasoline boiling components); and a re cycle compressor for recycling the overhead recycle stream by combining it with the oxygenate feed stream, e.g. methanol feed stream.
  • LPG C3-C4 paraffins
  • C5+ hydrocarbons gasoline boiling components
  • the overhead recycle stream acts as diluent, thereby reducing the exothermicity of the oxy genate conversion.
  • C2 compounds are removed in a de-ethanizer, such as de-ethanizer column, and then a C3-C4 fraction (C3-C4 compounds) is removed as LPG as the overhead stream in a LPG-splitting column (LPG splitter), while stabilized gasoline is withdrawn as the bottoms product.
  • the stabi lized gasoline or the heavier components of the stabilized gasoline may optionally be further upgraded and thereby refined, e.g. by conducting hydroisomerization (HDI) and/or hydrocracking (HDC) thus producing an upgraded gasoline product.

  • the oxygenate can be e.g. methanol or preferably ethanol.
  • US 4564643 discloses a particular process and catalyst for producing, from a synthesis gas, a mixed alcohol comprising methanol and higher alcohols than methanol. These mixed alcohols are used as an alcohol component to be added to gasoline.
  • the metha nol content in the mixture is at least 45 wt%.
  • Methanol is readily available in MTG or STG plant or process and a small amount could be blended to the gasoline as an octane booster, however, it also has a signifi cant negative effect by increasing vapor pressure.
  • US 2008/0216391 discloses a pProcesses and reactor system for the conversion of ox ygenated hydrocarbons to hydrocarbons, ketones and alcohols useful as liquid fuels, such as gasoline, jet fuel or diesel fuel, and industrial chemicals.

  • the renewable gasoline is produced from a methanol feed stream.
  • Applicant’s WO 2016116612 A1 discloses a process for converting methanol to hydro carbons suitable for use as gasoline or blend-stock.
  • CN 102732332 A discloses a preparation method of a methanol/butanol mixed vehicle fuel, by adding 10-20 wt% of methanol, 40-60 wt% of butanol and 0.5-3 wt% of additive into a mixing tank at normal temperature, mixing for 10-20 minutes, adding 17-50 wt% of petrochemical 93# gasoline into the mixed solution in the mixing tank, and standing for 4-6 hours for use.
  • the gasoline content is low, i.e. less than 50 wt% while the methanol and butanol content is high, i.e. methanol/butanol higher than 50 wt%, and thus inherently the vehicle fuel is prepared at the distribution point, i.e. at a fuel ter minal.
  • the invention is a process for producing a gasoline prod uct from a methanol feed stream, the process comprising the steps of: i) conducting a portion of the methanol feed stream to a methanol-to-gasoline reactor under the presence of a catalyst active for converting the methanol feed stream into a raw gasoline stream comprising C2-compounds, C3-C4 compounds such as C3-C4 paraffins, and C5+ hydrocarbons; ii) separating from the raw gasoline stream: ii-1) a stream comprising the C2-compounds, ii-2) a stream comprising the C3-C4 compounds, and ii-3) a gasoline stream comprising the C5+ hydrocarbons, i.e.

  • the term “comprising” includes “comprising only” i.e. “consisting of”.
  • Methanol is available upstream for gasoline production and a small amount is blended with the gasoline being produced as an octane booster i.e. to increase the octane num ber of the gasoline; however, adding methanol has also a significant negative impact by increasing vapor pressure (e.g. > 3 psi).
  • the increase in vapor pressure caused by methanol addition is by the present invention at least partly off-set by oxygenate(s) other than methanol.
  • the octane number is the Research Octane Number, RON, measured according to ASTM D2699; or Motor Octane Number, MON, measured according to ASTM D2700; or Anti Knock Index (AKI) measured as the average of RON and MOM i.e. (RON+MOM)/2.

  • gasoline stream comprising the C5+ hydrocarbons in step ii-3 is also referred to as stabilized gasoline or stabilized gasoline stream.
  • the vapor pressure of the gasoline being produced needs to be reduced before blending with methanol so that the vapor pres sure of the blend fulfils volatility specifications.
  • the reduction in vapor pres sure of the gasoline can result in RON/MON/AKI loss; therefore, the net octane boost could be much diminished.
  • the increase in vapor pressure is not as pronounced as when blending the upgraded gasoline with only methanol.
  • the present invention thus integrates the use of methanol as a booster in a pro cess/plant where methanol is readily available from upstream methanol synthesis, as it will also become apparent from one or more or the below embodiments, while at the same time off-setting some of the disadvantages in its use e.g., increase in vapor pres sure and need for phase stabilizers.

  • the blending of oxygenates is conducted during the process for producing the gasoline, i.e. in-situ, thus as part of the process, and not at a distribution point such as a fuel terminal.
