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 10):
A process for separating heavy hydrocarbons from an MTO reactor effluent, the process comprising:\n passing an effluent from an MTO reaction zone to a product separation zone configured to separate the effluent into a vapor stream comprising olefinic hydrocarbons, oxygenates, and steam and a liquid stream; passing the liquid stream to a separation vessel; passing the vapor stream to a compression zone configured to compress the vapor stream and provide at least two aqueous streams and a compressed vapor stream, each aqueous stream comprising two phases, a first phase comprising water and a second phase comprising heavy hydrocarbons, wherein the compression zone comprises a plurality of stages of compression; passing the at least two aqueous streams to the separation vessel; recovering a hydrocarbon liquid stream from the separation vessel; and, passing a lean hydrocarbon water stream from the separation vessel to a water wash zone configured to recover oxygenates from the water stream and provide a liquid hydrocarbon stream comprising heavy olefins and a recycle water stream.
