Abstract:
A process is presented for removing the fouling problems associated with the product recovery in a methanol to olefins conversion process. The process includes passing the quenched MTO process stream to a product separator, wherein an intermediate stream is generated and includes water and heavier hydrocarbons. The intermediate stream is processed to remove the buildup of heavier hydrocarbons.

Claim (Index 1):
A process for separating heavy hydrocarbons from an MTO reactor effluent, the process comprising:\n separating an effluent from an MTO reaction zone in a product separation zone into a vapor stream comprising olefinic hydrocarbons, oxygenates, and steam, and a first liquid stream comprising two phases, a first phase comprising water and a second phase comprising heavy hydrocarbons; compressing the vapor stream in a compression zone having a plurality of stages of compression and being configured to provide at least one compressed liquid stream and a compressed vapor stream, each compressed liquid stream comprising two phases, a first phase comprising water and a second phase comprising heavy hydrocarbons; and, separating the first liquid stream from the product separation zone and the at least one compressed liquid stream from the compression zone in a separation vessel into a hydrocarbon liquid stream and a lean hydrocarbon water stream.
