Abstract: A process includes flowing a catalyst composition comprising catalyst particles into a radial flow moving bed reactor, wherein the catalyst particles move by gravity through the radial flow moving bed reactor to an exit point of the radial flow moving bed reactor, wherein the catalyst particles form a moving catalyst bed in the radial flow moving bed reactor, flowing a light hydrocarbon feed stream comprising C1 to C3 alkanes into the radial flow moving bed reactor in a manner so that the light hydrocarbon feed stream flows radially inward or radially outward through the moving catalyst bed and thereby contacts the catalyst particles under reaction conditions to produce a product effluent stream comprising a C2 to C10 hydrocarbon product and hydrogen, and flowing the product effluent stream from the radial flow moving bed reactor.

Abstract: The present disclosure refers to systems and methods for efficiently converting a C1-C3 alkane such as natural gas to a liquid C2-C10 product and hydrogen. Generally, the process comprises flowing the C1-C3 alkane through a plurality of tubes within a vessel wherein the tubes house a catalyst for converting the C1-C3 alkane to the liquid C2-C10 product and hydrogen. The C1-C3 alkane is heated under suitable conditions to produce the liquid C2-C10 product and hydrogen. Advantageously, the C1-C3 alkane is heated by burning a fuel outside the tubes in fuel burning nozzles configured to transfer heat from the burning through the tubes.

Abstract: A process is provided for removing organic chlorides from glyceride oil. The process includes the steps of (a) reacting a glyceride oil comprising organic chlorides with a liquid aqueous system at a temperature of at least 80° C. to form a treated glyceride oil and (b) separating the treated glyceride oil from the liquid aqueous system. The treated glyceride oil has a reduced concentration of organic chlorides compared to the glyceride oil reacted in step (a).

Abstract: A crude oil which contains at least 0.1 wt % unstable sulfur compounds is treated in a reaction zone at low temperature to convert at least 50 wt % of the unstable sulfur compounds contained therein. The reaction and removal of sulfur from the crude may be facilitated by contacting the crude oil with a catalytic material in the presence of a stripping fluid.

Abstract: A method includes combusting a fuel stream in a combustion unit in the presence of a first oxygen enriched carbon dioxide stream received from an anode of an electrolyzer to generate a hot flue gas stream comprising carbon dioxide, steam, unconsumed oxygen, NOx and SOx, cooling the hot flue gas stream in a heat exchanger by supplying a water stream to the heat exchanger as a heat transfer medium to generate a cooled flue gas stream effluent, processing the cooled flue gas stream effluent in one or more separation units to generate a carbon dioxide rich gas stream and a carbon dioxide lean gas stream, and passing the carbon dioxide rich gas stream to the anode of the electrolyzer to generate a second oxygen enriched carbon dioxide stream for sending to the combustion unit.

Abstract: A reactor uses catalyst blocks for conversion of light hydrocarbons to hydrogen and to liquid hydrocarbons. The catalyst blocks stacked on top of one another within the reactor facilitate conversion of the light hydrocarbons. Electric heaters can be arranged in a variety of orientations within the reactor to supply heat for the conversion reaction. Alternatively, the catalyst blocks can be located within reaction tubes within the reactor and heated by combustion of a fuel adjacent to the reaction tubes. When operated in a regeneration mode, coke that accumulates within the reactor is removed by oxidation.
