Abstract: A dehydrogenation catalyst includes an organometallic pincer complex bonded to a mesoporous inorganic oxide support, the organometallic pincer complex possessing catalytic activity for alkyl group dehydrogenation. The pincer complex includes at least one element selected from Group VIII or Group IB of the Periodic Table of the elements, and at least one element selected from Group VA of the Periodic Table of the elements in each of two molecular arms, the Group VIII or Group IB element being bonded to each of the Group VA elements. The catalyst is advantageously employed in conjunction with catalytic distillation to permit the dehydrogenation of organic compounds at lower temperatures and at lower cost than conventional methods.

Abstract: An ethane recovery process utilizing multiple reflux streams is provided. Feed gas is cooled, partially condensed, and separated into a first liquid stream and a first vapor stream. First liquid stream is expanded and sent to a demethanizer. First vapor stream is split into a first and a second separator vapor streams. First separator vapor stream is expanded and sent to demethanizer. Second separator vapor stream is partially condensed and is separated into a reflux separator liquid stream, which is sent to demethanizer, and a reflux separator vapor stream, which is condensed and sent to demethanizer. Demethanizer produces a tower bottom stream containing a substantial amount ethane and heavier components, and a tower overhead stream containing a substantial amount remaining lighter components and forms a residue gas stream. A portion of residue gas stream is cooled, condensed, and sent to the demethanizer tower as top reflux stream.

Abstract: A two-tower scheme process for the recovery of propane and heavier components from a hydrocarbon gas stream is provided. Feed gas is cooled, partially condensed, and then separated to give a first liquid stream and a first vapor stream. First liquid stream is sent to a distillation tower that recovers at the bottoms a major portion of propane and heavier components and produces an overhead gas stream. First vapor stream is expanded and sent as bottom feed to the absorber. Absorber produces an absorber overhead stream containing essentially all the ethane and lighter components and an absorber bottoms stream. Absorber bottoms stream is heated and sent to the distillation tower as middle feed. Absorber overhead stream is warmed and optionally compressed. A part of the compressed stream is substantially condensed and sent to absorber as top feed. The process and apparatus can be used to recover ethane and heavier hydrocarbons.

Abstract: Mesoporous aluminum oxides with high surface areas have been synthesized using inexpensive, small organic templating agents instead of surfactants. Optionally, some of the aluminum can be framework-substituted by one or more other elements. The material has high thermal stability and possesses a three-dimensionally randomly connected mesopore network with continuously tunable pore sizes. This material can be used as catalysts for dehydration, hydrotreating, hydrogenation, catalytic reforming, steam reforming, amination, Fischer-Tropsch synthesis and Diels-Alder synthesis, etc.

Abstract: A low pressure drop, highly efficient structured packing comprises sheet material formed into vertical preferably square channels containing vortex generators formed from the sheet material. The channels, while vertically linear, are periodically interrupted by the vortex generators providing tortuous fluid paths along the channels. The thus formed vortex generators form openings between adjacent channels providing fluid communication between and uniform flow within the different channels. The packing can be utilized in fluid mixing or those operations that require multiphase mass transfer, such as absorption or distillation. The addition of a catalyst makes the structure suitable for catalytic distillation. Turbulence is provided the fluids by the tortuous vertical path with low pressure drops transversely and vertically, with optimum liquid holdup.

Abstract: A process and apparatus to increase the recovery of ethane, propane, and heavier compounds from a hydrocarbon gas stream is provided. The process can be configured to recover ethane and heavier compounds or propane and heavier compounds, depending upon the market conditions. The process utilizes an additional reflux stream to the absorber column that is lean in ethane and propane compared to the deethanizer overhead. The additional reflux stream is taken as a side stream of the residue gas stream that is cooled, condensed, and then fed at the top of the absorber to enhanced C3null recovery. The additional lean reflux stream can also be taken as a side stream of the first vapor stream from the cold separator.

Abstract: An exemplary floatable vessel is described having an upper tower section with a reduced diameter or width and an affixed lower base section having an enlarged diameter or width. The lower section contains weighted ballast distributed upon its lower floor. The lower section also includes flotation tanks which can be filled with air to raise the vessel in the water such that portions of the lower section are raised above the water line. Alternatively, the flotation tanks can be flooded to dispose the lower section and a portion of the upper section below the water level. The upper tower section of the vessel supports a deck structure upon which rig components can be constructed or secured. The tower section includes flotation tanks as well. In preferred embodiments, these tanks are variable tanks that can be partially filled with air and partially flooded with water. The vessel defines a central chamber within which drilling risers are contained and suspended from the deck structure of the vessel downward toward the sea floor. One or more pneumatic supports are provided which assist in securing the riser and absorbing energy from movement of the platform. The floating vessel can be constructed and transported in a upright or vertical orientation so that it does not need to be upended prior to mooring at its intended location. In addition, structures such as rig components may be placed atop the tower portion prior to or during transportation of the vessel. During transportation by towing, the flotation tanks of the lower section are filled with air so that the lower section is partially raised above the surface of the water. The vessel is placed into its installed position by flooding the flotation tanks of the lower section to cause the lower section to become submerged.
