Patent ID: 8497404

Claim:
An alkylation process, comprising: a) treating a first Fischer-Tropsch derived hydrocarbon stream in an olefin enrichment zone under olefin enrichment conditions to provide an olefin enriched hydrocarbon stream comprising one or more olefins; b) contacting a second Fischer-Tropsch derived hydrocarbon stream with a hydrocracking catalyst in a hydrocracking zone under hydrocracking conditions to provide a distillate enriched hydrocracked product; c) feeding the distillate enriched hydrocracked product to a distillation unit; d) separating a naphtha containing fraction via the distillation unit, wherein the naphtha containing fraction comprises one or more isoparaffins; e) feeding the naphtha containing fraction to an alkylation zone; f) concurrently with step e), feeding the olefin enriched hydrocarbon stream to the alkylation zone; g) contacting the one or more isoparaffins with the one or more olefins in the presence of an alkylation catalyst under alkylation conditions in the alkylation zone to provide an alkylate product; h) concurrently with step c), feeding the alkylate product to the distillation unit; and i) concurrently with step f), feeding a third Fischer-Tropsch derived hydrocarbon stream to the alkylation zone, wherein the first Fischer-Tropsch derived hydrocarbon stream comprises a Fischer-Tropsch condensate, the second Fischer-Tropsch derived hydrocarbon stream comprises Fischer-Tropsch wax, and the third Fischer-Tropsch derived hydrocarbon stream comprises liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).
