103 Fluid-solid contacting method US10198197 2002-07-17 US06984311B2 2006-01-10 James W. Kilroy
An apparatus and method for contacting fluids in a fluid-solids contacting chamber is disclosed. The fluid-solid contacting chamber has a plurality of beds, and the chamber comprises a plurality of conduits and outlet ports that are capable of providing improved fluid distribution of fluids that are introduced above or between the beds. One or more conduits are arranged within a single conduit, which provides a compact and inexpensive assembly for conveying the fluids to each conduit's outlet port. In operation, the fluid flow to the outlet port of each conduit is regulated within that outlet port's most efficient operating range, and since the flows can regulated simply by hand, the method of this invention can be practiced readily. Catalytic condensation and other hydrocarbon process units that employ this invention will have increased on-stream efficiencies and realize significant economic benefits.
104 Reforming with two fixed-bed units, each having a moving-bed tail reactor sharing a common regenerator US245844 1994-05-18 US5417843A 1995-05-23 Gerrit S. Swart; Stuart S. Goldstein; Paul W. Kamienski; George A. Swan, III

105 Reformulated-gasoline production US796519 1991-11-21 US5200059A 1993-04-06 Paula L. Bogdan; R. Joe Lawson; J. W. Adriaan Sachtler
A process combination is disclosed to reduce the aromatics content and increase the oxygen content of a key component of gasoline blends. A naphtha feedstock having a boiling range usually suitable as catalytic-reforming feed is processed by selective isoparaffin synthesis to yield lower-molecular weight hydrocarbons including a high yield of isobutane. The isobutane is processed to yield an ether component by dehydrogenation and etherification. The cracked light naphtha may be upgraded by isomerization. The heavier portion of the cracked naphtha is processed in a reformer. A gasoline component containing oxygen as ether and having a reduced aromatics content and increased volumetric yield relative to reformate of the same octane number is blended from the net products of the above processing steps. The process combination is particularly suited for use in an existing refinery.

A naphtha feedstock is reformed by splitting the feedstock into a first C.sub.6 or lower fraction and a C.sub.7 and higher fraction, and passing the C.sub.6 and lower fraction to a reactor and combining the effluent from the first reactor with the C.sub.7 and higher fraction and passing the mixture to a second reactor. The reformate produced has an octane rating at least equivalent to that produced by conventional processes, but has a lowered benzene content.
107 Isomerization unit with integrated feed and product separation facilities US30806 1987-03-27 US4747933A 1988-05-31 Frederick M. Hibbs
A combination isomerization-reforming process provides additional liquid volume yields of gasoline without significant increase in utilities expense by recycling the isomerization zone effluent to an extended feed fractionation zone from which an isomerization product is also withdrawn. The feed fractionation zone receives a C.sub.5 -plus boiling range naphtha feed. The fractionation zone provides a relatively heavy bottoms stream for a reformer feed and a relatively lighter sidecut stream for feed to an isomerization zone. Effluent from the isomerization zone is recycled to the feed fractionation zone at a midfractionation entry point. A net overhead stream withdrawn from the feed fractionation zone and containing principally C.sub.6 isoparaffins and lighter boiling hydrocarbons provides a relatively high octane blending component. The fractionation zone overhead stream may be combined with effluent from the reforming zone to obtain a gasoline product, at high liquid volume yield, having sufficient octane for unleaded motor fuel use.

113 Methods and systems for optimizing mechanical vapor compression and/or thermal vapor compression within multiple-stage processes US17834339 2022-06-07 US11478724B2 2022-10-25 Lynn Allen Crawford; William Bryan Schafer, III
The present invention utilizes mechanical vapor compression and/or thermal vapor compression integrating compression loops across multiple process stages. A sequential network of compressors is utilized to increase the pressure and condensing temperature of the vapors within each process stage, as intra-vapor flow, and branching between process stages, as inter-vapor flow. Because the vapors available are shared among and between compressor stages, the number of compressors can be reduced, improving economics. Balancing vapor mass flow through incremental compressor stages which traverse multiple process stages by splitting vapors between compressor stages enables the overall vapor-compression system to be tailored to individual process energy requirements and to accommodate dynamic fluctuations in process conditions.
