FREMGANGSMÅDE TIL FREMSTILLING OG ANVENDELSE AF EN KULBRINTEBLANDING

The invention relates to a method for the production and use of a hydrocarbon mixture from natural gases (3) for crude oil refineries. The method is characterized in that the hydrocarbon mixture is anhydrous and is produced from natural gas using the following method steps: converting the natural gas to a methanol/water mixture (crude methanol) (14) without subsequent distillation; catalytic conversion of the crude methanol (14) to a dimethyl ether/methanol/water mixture; conversion of the dimethyl ether/methanol/water mixture to a hydrous hydrocarbon mixture, predominantly consisting of paraffins, C6+ olefins, and aromatics, in particular such as toluene and xylene; degassing and dehydration of the hydrocarbon mixture. The resulting hydrocarbon mixture is supplied to a refinery (25) processing crude oil, where the hydrocarbon mixture is converted to in particular specification-compliant products.
