Method for simultaneously producing synthetic natural gas and high octane reformate
Abstract
Abstract A SYNTHETIC NATURAL GAS STREAM AND A HIGH OCTANE REFORMATE STREAM ARE PRODUCED BY CONTACTING A HYDROCARBON CHARGE STOCK BOILING IN THE GASOLINE RANGE AND HYDROGEN, AT SYNTHETIC NATURAL GAS PRODUCTION CONDITIONS, WITH A CATALYTIC COMPOSITE COMPRISING A POROUS CARRIER MATERIAL CONTAINING, ON AN ELEMENTAL BASIS, ABOUT 0.01 TO ABOUT 2 WT. PERCENT OF APLATINUM GROUP METAL, ABOUT 1 TO ABOUT 5 WT. PERCENT NICKEL AND ABOUT 0.01 TO ABOUT 5 WT. PERCENT PF A GROUP IVA METAL. SYNTHETIC NATURAL GAS PRODUCTION CONDITIONS GENERALLY UTILIZED INCLUDE A TEMPERATURE OF ABOUT 900 TO ABOUT 1200*F., A PRESSURE OF ABOUT 0 TO ABOUT 350 P.S.I.G., LIQUID HOURLY SPACED VELOCITY ABOUT 0.5 TO ABOUT 3 HRS.-1 AND A MOLE RATIO OF HYDROGEN TO HYDROCARBON OF ABOUT 1:1 TO ABOUT 5:1.
