Abstract:
Recycle of an extract stream containing a contaminant is used to improve recovery of hydrocarbons in a contaminant removal process. At least a portion of an extract stream is recycled to a contaminant extraction zone and contacted with rich ionic liquid. Contaminants in the recycle extract stream are transferred to the rich ionic liquid.
Abstract:
A process and apparatus is presented for the improved selectivity of oxygenate conversion to olefins. The process includes passing a process stream through a two stage reactor, wherein the process stream is separated from the catalyst in the first stage before passing the process stream to the second stage. The catalyst is continuously passed through the two stages, and cycles through a regeneration unit to control the carbon content on the catalyst.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a reactor system (10) having: (1) a plurality of reactors (12) connected in fluid flow communication and having at least one pair of reactors (12a,b) separated by an interstage position (33); (2) a line (25) for supplying a reactant feed stream separately to an inlet (21) of more than one of the plurality of reactors (12a,b); and (3) a diverter (30) in fluid communication with the interstage position (33) and capable of directing a first portion of a product stream (32a) exiting one reactor (12a) in said pair of reactors (12a,b) to a first location (40) and a second portion of the product flow stream to an inlet (21b) of another reactor (12b) in said pair of reactors (12a,b).

Abstract:
A reactor comprising a thermal barrier surrounding a combustion zone. The reactor further comprises a cooling jacket inner wall and a binder disposed between the cooling jacket inner wall and the thermal barrier, and a cooling jacket outer wall, wherein the cooling jacket inner wall and the cooling jacket outer wall define a cooling channel. The reactor further comprises an outer reactor wall disposed over the cooling jacket outer wall, wherein the outer reactor wall is impermeable and is configured to contain high pressure gas within the reactor.
