Abstract

The production of light hydrocarbons consisting of ethylene, propylene, butylenes, and of gasoline is enhanced by introducing a heavy oil feedstream derived from an external source into an ancillary downflow reactor that utilizes the same catalyst composition as an adjacent FCC unit for cracking the heavy oil and withdrawing the desired lighter hydrocarbon reaction product stream from the downflow reactor and regenerating the catalyst in the same regeneration vessel that is used to regenerate the spent catalyst from the FCC unit. The efficiency of the recovery of the desired lighter olefinic hydrocarbons is maximized by limiting the feedstream to the downflow reactor to heavy oils that can be processed under relatively harsher conditions, while minimizing production of undesired by-products.

Abstract

Provided are a liquid delivery system wherein a pump downstream of a desulfurizer can be stably controlled, and a liquid fuel can be efficiently delivered; and a fuel cell system provided with the liquid delivery system. On the upstream side of a pump (105), a liquid fuel passes through a gas-liquid separating portion (103), so that gas bubbles of the liquid fuel which has been cooled by a cooling mechanism (101) and decompressed by a decompression mechanism (102) to reduce the solubility of the liquid fuel, are removed to separate gas from the liquid fuel. Further, the liquid fuel which has passed through the gas-liquid separating portion (103) is stored in a gas-liquid separating tank (104), so that the gas contained in the liquid fuel is moved upwardly in the liquid fuel to collect the gas on the upper side of the gas-liquid separating tank (104), and collect the liquid on the bottom side of the gas-liquid separating tank (104). Thus, the gas and the liquid of the liquid fuel are separated, so that the liquid fuel, the gas of which has been sufficiently removed, can be supplied to the pump (105).

Abstract

A process for producing a composite container which has a desired shape and strength. A tow prepreg is wound around a liner to form a fibrous layer (S4). The fibrous layer is heated from inside the liner to reduce the viscosity of the resin infiltrated into the fibers wound around the liner to a value lower than the viscosity as measured before the winding around the liner (S5). Thereafter, the fibrous layer is heated from inside the liner to gradually cure the resin of the fibrous layer from the side near the liner surface toward the side apart therefrom (S6). Alternatively, a tow prepreg is wound around a liner to form a fibrous layer, and the fibrous layer is heated from inside the liner. The resin infiltrated into the fibers wound around the liner is thereby gradually cured from the side near the liner surface toward the side apart therefrom and is caused to generate heat as the curing proceeds.

Abstract

Provided is a minimal flow rate liquid pump control device wherein the cost thereof can be reduced, and a minimal flow rate can be controlled with high accuracy. The amount of liquid within a liquid level adjuster (3) is measured to obtain measured values including the amount of reduced liquid, the average amount of reduced liquid, etc. In the range of minimal flow rate, it is difficult to directly measure the flow rate of liquid because the flow rate is infinitesimal. However, the total amount of liquid can be measured after the elapse of a certain period of time. Therefore, the measured value is compared with a value calculated on the basis of an instruction value, so that the difference between the actual amount of the transferred liquid and the calculated amount of the transferred liquid can be obtained. Further, if there is a difference therebetween, the instruction value is corrected to improve the accuracy of control of the flow rate. Further, the liquid level adjuster (3) which stores the liquid of a pump (2) is extremely less expensive than a expensive pump or flow rate measuring device. This prevents the cost for the entire system from increasing.

Abstract

Disclosed is an apparatus (4) for producing a reforming raw material for a fuel cell system (1), wherein a desulfurizer (6) for removing a sulfur component from a liquid fuel is disposed within a water vaporizer (5), which heats water (L) in a liquid phase state, through heat exchange with an off gas discharged from an SOFC stack (3), to vaporize the water(L), so that the desulfurizer (6) is immersed in the water (L) in the liquid phase state. According to this constitution, a desulfurizing agent within the desulfurizer (6) is heated to a temperature around the boiling point of the water (L) in the liquid phase state by heat exchange with the water (L) in the liquid phase state reservoired in the water vaporizer (5). In this case, the pressure of water (V) in a gas phase state within the water vaporizer (5) is regulated through an orifice (7) provided in a water vapor supply line (18). Accordingly, the boiling point of the water within the water vaporizer is regulated to a predetermined temperature. Thus, the desulfurizing agent within the desulfurizer (6) can be easily and reliably maintained at a proper temperature.

Abstract

This invention provides a method for starting a fuel cell system which can reliably conduct reforming from an early stage and can more reliably prevent an oxidative deterioration in anode, and a fuel cell system suitable for the method. The method is a method for starting a fuel cell system comprising a reformer comprising a reforming catalyst layer for reforming a hydrocarbon fuel to produce a hydrogen-containing gas, and a high temperature-type fuel cell for generating electric power using a hydrogen-containing gas. The method comprises a) the step of raising the temperature of the reforming catalyst layer while measuring the temperature of the reforming catalyst layer, b) the step of calculating the flow rate of a hydrocarbon fuel which can be reformed in the reforming catalyst layer based on the measured temperature of the reforming catalyst layer, and c) the step of supplying the hydrocarbon fuel at the calculated flow rate into the reforming catalyst layer to reform the fuel, and supplying the resultant reformed gas into an anode of a high temperature-type fuel cell. The amount of the hydrocarbon fuel supplied into the reforming catalyst layer is increased while repeating step b) and step c) until the amount of the hydrocarbon fuel supplied into the reforming catalyst layer reaches the flow rate at the time of the completion of the start.
