Abstract:
A process for converting light alkanes from a natural gas production stream to higher molecular weight hydrocarbons is provided. The method includes transporting the natural gas stream to an electron beam reactor, such as a steel flow-type radiation reactor connected hermetically to an accelerator beam window. The gas stream is exposed to electron beam radiation to generate an upgraded and substantially liquefied hydrocarbon stream. The method then includes transporting the substantially liquefied hydrocarbon stream into a scrubber to remove non-condensed gases. The remaining liquid hydrocarbon stream is then transported as condensate to a distillation tower, where high octane products are separated through fractionation.

Claim (Index 4):
The process of  claim 1 , further comprising: (i) removing any H2O from the natural gas stream before introducing the natural gas stream into the reactor, (ii) removing any CO2 from the natural gas stream before introducing the natural gas stream into the reactor, (ii) removing any H2S from the natural gas stream before introducing the natural gas stream into the reactor, or (iii) combinations thereof.
