Abstract
This invention relates to a process for converting alkoxy compounds into hydrocarbon compounds, mostly in the gasoline boiling range. This process proceeds with low heat exchange duty requirements for heating the alkoxy compounds and recycle streams used as feedstocks and for final cooling of reaction product gases for recovery of hydrocarbon product while at the same time offering an improved choice of operating conditions. As may be desired, steam may be added to obtain a desired final steam partial pressure in all catalyst contacts with the alkoxy compounds.
