The invention concerns a process for the neutralization of a catalytic system for the oligomerization of olefins, said catalytic system comprising at least one halogenated derivative, characterized in that the reaction effluent is brought into contact with at least one nitrile compound.

Process for the neutralization of a catalytic system for the dimerization of olefins containing at least one halogenated derivative

The present invention describes a process for the conversion of a heavy feed which can be used to improve the selectivity for middle distillate. The process employs a catalytic cracking unit followed by one or more units for the oligomerization of C2 to C9 olefins which can preferentially produce an additional cut termed the middle distillate. The light portion of the oligomerate produced which cannot be incorporated into the middle distillate cut is recycled to the FCC unit for cracking into light olefins which are returned to the oligomerization units as a supplement to the olefins of the feed in order to preferentially form heavy oligomerates which can be incorporated into the middle distillate cut.

A process for the production of middle-distillate hydrocarbon-containing bases from a butanol feedstock, comprising: a) isomerizing dehydration of butanol feedstock; b) separating the water from butylenic effluent; c) purifying the organic liquid effluent from stage b); d) oligomerizing a feedstock that comprises at least a portion of the purified organic effluent from stage c), the entire effluent from stage g), and at least a portion of the light product from stage f); e) oligomerizing the first oligomerization effluent to produce a second oligomerization effluent; f) fractionating the second oligomerization effluent into at least three products: a light product mostly comprising Cto Ccompounds, an intermediate product mostly comprising Cto Ccompounds, and a middle distillate product mostly comprising compounds having at least 10 carbon atoms; g) oligomerizing at least a portion of the intermediate product, and h) hydrogenating at least a portion of the middle distillate product.
