Abstract:
The present disclosure provides methods for producing hydrocarbon compounds, which may comprise directing a feed stream comprising methane (CH 4 ) and an oxidizing agent into an oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) unit to generate from at least a portion of the CH 4  and the oxidizing agent an OCM effluent comprising the hydrocarbon compounds. A portion of the OCM effluent may be directed into a recycle loop that comprises (i) a hydrogenation unit that hydrogenates at least a portion of unsaturated hydrocarbons from the additional portion of the OCM effluent, and (ii) a methanation unit that reacts hydrogen with carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide from the additional portion of the OCM effluent in a methanation reaction to form CH 4 . The recycle loop may output a recycle stream comprising the CH 4  generated by the methanation unit. At least a portion of the recycle stream may be directed into the OCM unit.

Claim (Index 22):
The process according to  claim 14 , wherein said product obtained at said one or more product steps are ethylene, CO 2 , aromatics and/or raw gasoline.
