Abstract

A continuous multi-stage catalytic process for converting ethene-rich lower olefinic feedstock to heavier liquid hydrocarbon product, comprising the steps of PA0 contacting ethene-rich feedstock at elevated temperature and moderate pressure in a primary stage reaction zone with a first catalyst comprising shape selective medium pore zeolite to convert at least a portion of the lower olefinic components to intermediate olefinic hydrocarbons; PA0 cooling primary stage reaction effluent by introducing a stream of cold water sufficient to reduce the primary stage effluent to second stage reaction temperature; and PA0 contacting unreacted ethene and at least a portion of the intermediate olefinic hydrocarbons from the primary stage with nickel-containing shape selective medium pore zeolite oligomerization component at elevated temperature to provide a heavier hydrocarbon effluent stream comprising gasoline and/or distillate range hydrocarbons.
