Abstract

A method for treating effluent from hydrothermal liquification of feedstock that contains plastic oil, pyrolysis oil, synthetic oil or hydrocarbons distillates in a plastic recycle process using supercritical water as a reaction medium into a finished liquid hydrocarbon fuel by removing impurities such as i.e. silicon, chlorides, metals, heteroatoms, etc., in a pre-treatment zone and may be passed into a feed drum or a continuous mixed settler vessel. The feed is introduced into a hydrogen atmosphere reactor. The reactor effluent is passed to a separator for extracting product mixture by addition of make-up or recycled hydrogen to the separator. The overhead product mixture is water washed to remove sour water or salt. The separator effluent is passed to a distillation section for extracting a liquid fuel product stream. A portion of the hydro processing product stream may be recycled to the feed drum or the continuous mixed settler vessel, which reduces concentration of diolefins.

Abstract

A syngas reforming exchanger reactor design is described. The reforming exchanger has a head, a shell, and a tubesheet secured a tube bundle. The tubesheet is bolted to the shell, after which the head is bolted to the shell. A seal is configured between the tubesheet and components of the shell. Another seal is configured between components of the head and the tubesheet. In the reformer exchanger design, those seals are maintained under bolted pressure via the bolting of both the tubesheet and the head to the shell. This design improves the integrity of sealing, thereby preventing escape of hot reformed gases from the reformer exchanger reactor during operation.

Abstract

A syngas reforming exchanger reactor design is described. The reforming exchanger has a head, a shell, and a tubesheet secured a tube bundle. The tubesheet is bolted to the shell, after which the head is bolted to the shell. A seal is configured between the tubesheet and components of the shell. Another seal is configured between components of the head and the tubesheet. In the reformer exchanger design, those seals are maintained under bolted pressure via the bolting of both the tubesheet and the head to the shell. This design improves the integrity of sealing, thereby preventing escape of hot reformed gases from the reformer exchanger reactor during operation.

Abstract

A reactor system and method for catalytic dehydrogenation of saturated C3-C6 hydrocarbons within a reactor placed within a reactor disengager, where the reactor is open at the bottom thereof and open to the disengager, and the exit riser from the reactor is not hard coupled to at least one downstream cyclone. This configuration permits controlling the amount of catalyst within the reactor by varying the level of catalyst in the reactor disengager outside the reactor and permits controlling total catalyst hold-up and/or weight hourly space velocity (WHSV) independently from catalyst flow from the catalyst regenerator.

In examples, the piping connection system and method may include a transition member configured to bond or connect to the double pipe system and to the housing. In examples, the piping connection system may include a baffle configured to redirect flow from the housing to the double pipe system through an opening and towards the transition member. In examples, the piping connection system and method may be used to manufacture a quench exchanger such as a primary quench exchanger.

Abstract

A method of estimating a carbon emission lifecycle footprint of an infrastructure project includes compiling a rules set that include carbon emission rules and engineering rules, wherein each carbon emission rule and each engineering rule represent a predetermined decision; encoding the rules set in a database; obtaining non-project specific information from suppliers and manufacturers; storing non-project specific information in the database; obtaining project specific information for the energy project; conveying the project specific information via a user interface to the database; generating deliverables using at least the rules set, the non-project specific information, and the project specific information; using the deliverables to estimate the carbon emission lifecycle footprint of the project; and using the workshop and interactive engineering facility to deliver a lower overall carbon emission footprint of the infrastructure project.

Abstract

Methods and systems for treating an olefin-containing stream are disclosed. The disclosed methods and systems are particularly suitable for treating an off-gas stream in a refining or petrochemical process, such as from a fluid catalytic cracker (FCC), coker, steam cracker, and the like. The stream is treated in an absorber column to reject lighter stream components and to absorb ethylene and/or propylene into a solvent. The solvent is typically isobutane. The enriched solvent stream from the absorber column is fed to an alkylation reactor, which reacts the dissolved olefin with the isobutane solvent to produce an alkylate product.

THERMALLY COUPLED DISTILLATION SCHEME FOR PURIFICATION OF CUMENE

      
Application Number US2022052321
Publication Number 2023/107650

Abstract

A method for purifying cumene may include splitting an alkylation reaction product into a first portion and a second portion; feeding the first portion as mostly a liquid into a benzene column; at least partially vaporizing the second portion in a heater; feeding the at least partially vaporized second portion into the benzene column. A method for purifying cumene may also include the steps of providing a benzene column and a cumene column; directing a liquid side draw from the benzene column to the cumene column, the liquid side draw being a liquid substantially free of DIPB; returning a benzene enriched vapor from the cumene column to the benzene column using an overhead line, the benzene enriched vapor having a higher concentration of benzene than the liquid side draw; and drawing purified cumene from the cumene column.
