Abstract: In various aspects, molten carbonate fuel cell configurations are provided that include a reforming catalyst and alkali traps integrated with one or more structures within the anode gas-collection volume. The purpose of the reforming catalyst is to reform methane (or some other reformable fuel) into hydrogen. In operation, alkali metals may migrate from the fuel cell electrolyte into the anode. Unless trapped, the alkali metals may deactivate the reforming catalyst. The alkali trap prolongs the operating life of reforming catalyst within the anode volume by capturing some portion of the alkali metal in the anode gas-collection volume. This reduces an amount of alkali metal that interacts with the reforming catalyst in the anode gas-collection volume. The prolonged life of the reforming catalyst prevents a decrease in catalyst activity.

Abstract: A method including: introducing a feed comprising an alcohol and an activator into a reactor comprising a solid acid catalyst; contacting the alcohol and the activator in the presence of the solid acid catalyst under conditions effective to convert at least a portion of the alcohol and the activator to produce a product stream comprising C8-C16 olefins and water; thermally contacting at least a portion of the C8-C16 olefins and/or water with a working fluid to heat the working fluid to form a heated working fluid; and introducing at least a portion of the C8-C16 olefins and water from the product stream into a distillation column and forming a bottoms stream comprising a majority of the C8-C16 olefins from the product stream, wherein a reboiler thermally coupled to the distillation column is at least partially heated by the heated working fluid.

Abstract: Compositions are provided that include at least a portion of an isoparaffinic blend component, an iso-olefinic blend component, or a combination thereof, along with a method for making such a blend component. The highly isoparaffinic and/or iso-olefinic nature of the blend component can allow a blend component to be used in combination with both conventional/mineral fractions as well as non-traditional feeds to form fuel fractions and/or fuel blending component fractions. Examples of fuels that can be formed by making a blend that includes an isoparaffinic and/or iso-olefinic blend component include diesel fuels, marine gas oils, and various types of marine fuel oils, such as very low sulfur fuel oils.

Abstract: Systems and methods for intelligent monitoring of a site may be useful for ascertaining the operational integrity of said site. Said systems and methods may use data fusion, neural features, and integrated reasoning to achieve the intelligent monitoring. For example a method may comprise: capturing a plurality of images over time from a site; transmitting the plurality of images to a hub; identifying at least one element in at least one of the plurality of images; querying at least one sensor and/or related sensor data for at least one attribute of the at least one element; tracking the at least one element to produce spatio-temporal attributes of the at least one element; ascertaining a state of the environment at the site; and applying an integrated reasoning model to the state of the environment to identify events that may occur and/or are occurring at the site that require operator intervention.

Abstract: Described herein are novel and inventive dewaxing processes that employ dewaxing catalysts which are co-extrusions of two different zeolites, particularly two different 10MR zeolites or a co-extrusion of a 10MR zeolite and a 12MR zeolite in combination with a hydrogenation component. The hydrogenation component can be a mixture of non-noble metal components or a mixture of noble metal components. This novel and inventive process demonstrated a significant activity boost (as measured by increased cloud point reduction) and/or selectivity boost (as measured by reduced diesel loss) compared to either single zeolite component.

Abstract: A catalyst may include a metallic function derived from a metal constrained within cages and/or channels of a microporous material, wherein the cages and/or channels of the microporous material are defined by 8 tetrahedral atoms or fewer; and an acidic function derived from an additional zeolite having cages and/or channels defined by 10 or more tetrahedral atoms, wherein the microporous material providing the metallic function and additional zeolite providing the acidic function are coupled by a binder.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and compositions for biocatalyzed conversion of oleic acid to non-racemic (R)-10-hydroxystearic acid ((R)-10-HSA) are described herein. Some systems and methods may include mixing oleic acid, a buffer, and a surfactant to produce an emulsion. The emulsion may be mixed with recombinant enzyme produced by a transformed microorganism. The recombinant enzyme may biocatalytically convert oleic acid to (R)-10-HSA, which may be extracted from the emulsion via an organic solvent.
