Abstract:
1. A method for producing one or more fluid hydrocarbon products from a solid hydrocarbonaceous material comprising: providing a solid catalyst in a fluidized bed reactor; feeding a solid hydrocarbonaceous material to the fluidized bed reactor; pyrolyzing within the fluidized bed reactor at least a portion of the hydrocarbonaceous material under reaction conditions sufficient to produce one or more pyrolysis products; and catalytically reacting at least a portion of the one or more pyrolysis products using the solid catalyst under reaction conditions sufficient to produce the one or more fluid hydrocarbon products; wherein the residence time of the hydrocarbonaceous material in the fluidized bed reactor is at least about 10 seconds, the residence time being calculated by dividing the volume of the reactor with the volumetric flow rate of the hydrocarbonaceous material and fluid hydrocarbon product exiting the reactor.
