Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for enhancing the processing of hydrocarbons in a FCC unit by introduction of fluidized plastic at one or more locations of the FCC unit. In an embodiment, the method may include passing a coked FCC catalyst from a cyclone of the FCC unit to a regenerator. The method may include introducing at least oxygen and a fluidized plastic into the regenerator. The method may include combusting a combination of the fluidized plastic and a coke from the coked FCC catalyst in the regenerator, thereby to oxidize via the oxygen and produce a regenerated FCC catalyst and a flue gas. The method may include supplying the regenerated FCC catalyst from the regenerator to a riser of the FCC unit to crack the gas oil supplied to the riser of the FCC unit.

Abstract: Systems and methods for a vent interlock system to ensure vent cover closure prior to operation of a transportation vehicle. An embodiment of a system may include an interlock bar. The interlock bar may, in a lowered position, prevent a hydraulic valve handle of a hydraulic pump assembly from moving from an open position to a closed position, the hydraulic valve handle in the closed position to allow a vent cover of the trailer to be opened. The system may include a plunger valve connected to brakes of the transportation vehicle to lock the brakes of the transportation vehicle to prevent operation of the transportation vehicle when the interlock bar is raised. The system may include a spring operated latch attached to the transportation vehicle to hold the interlock bar in the lowered position via a notch or aperture in the interlock bar.

Abstract: Methods and systems for re-dispersing platinum on catalysts used in continuous catalyst regeneration reformer systems are disclosed. Some aspects of the disclosure provide, for example, methods of evaluating the platinum re-dispersion of a reforming catalyst in a small-scale reactor for use in a continuous catalyst regeneration reformer system and methods of improving the activity and selectivity of reforming catalysts for use in a continuous catalyst regeneration reformer system by selection of appropriate reaction parameters in a small-scale reactor for use in a continuous catalyst regeneration reformer system.

Abstract: Assemblies and methods to enhance control of a fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) processing assembly associated with a refining operation, may include supplying a hydrocarbon feedstock to one or more first processing units associated with the refining operation. The assemblies and methods also may include conditioning a hydrocarbon feedstock and unit material samples, and analyzing the samples via one or more spectroscopic analyzers. The assemblies and methods further may include prescriptively controlling, via one or more FCC process controllers based at least in part on the hydrocarbon feedstock properties and the unit material properties, the FCC processing assembly, so that the prescriptively controlling results in enhancing accuracy of target content of materials produced by the FCC processing assembly, thereby to more responsively control the FCC processing assembly to achieve material outputs that more accurately and responsively converge on target properties.

Abstract: Systems and methods to activate one or more indicators, positioned on heavy hydraulic-based equipment to provide indication that the heavy hydraulic-based equipment is in an operation are described herein. The system may include a hydraulic initiation lever positioned proximate an operator's seat of the equipment and configured to be actuatable to an inactive position and an active position, the hydraulic initiation lever when in the active position configured to generate an unlock signal to thereby enable hydraulic operation of the heavy hydraulic-based equipment. The system may include one or more indicators configured to receive the unlock signal, the one or more indicators configured to activate in response to reception of the unlock signal and to deactivate in response to no reception of the unlock signal.

Abstract: Fuel oil compositions, and methods for blending such fuel oil compositions, to enhance initial compatibility and longer term stability when such fuel oil compositions are blended to meet IMO 2020 low sulfur fuel oil requirements (ISO 8217). In one or more embodiments, asphaltenic resid base stocks are blended with high aromatic slurry oil to facilitate initial compatibility such that low sulfur cutter stocks, e.g., vacuum gas oil and/or cycle oil, may be further blended therein to cut sulfur content while maintaining longer term stability. These fuel oil compositions are economically advantageous when used as marine low sulfur fuel oils because greater concentrations of high viscosity resids are present in the final blend.
