Solid Catalyst Alkylation Process With Regeneration Section And Hydrogen Fractionation Zone

View page
US Patent:
6392114, May 21, 2002
Filed:
Dec 30, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/475702
Inventors:
Dale J. Shields - Buffalo Grove IL
Paul A. Sechrist - Des Plaines IL
Assignee:
UOP LLC - Des Plaines IL
International Classification:
C07C 260
US Classification:
585719, 585712, 585713, 585727
Abstract:
An alkylating agent alkylates an alkylation substrate in a solid catalyst alkylation process in which an alkylation reactor produces a reaction effluent and a catalyst regeneration zone produces a hydrogen-containing regeneration effluent. The alkylation effluent passes to an alkylate fractionation zone, while the regeneration effluent passes to a hydrogen fractionation zone to remove hydrogen and produce a hydrogen-depleted stream that passes to the alkylate fractionation zone. The process recycles hydrogen, and can recycle halogen-containing species as well, within the process while preventing admixture of hydrogen with the alkylating agent. This invention is particularly applicable to alkylation processes that use an olefinic alkylating agent.

Method For Reducing Chloride Emissions From A Moving Bed Catalyst Regeneration Process

View page
US Patent:
6461992, Oct 8, 2002
Filed:
Nov 21, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/717740
Inventors:
Paul A. Sechrist - Des Plaines IL
Delmar W. Robinson - late of Palatine IL
Assignee:
UOP LLC - Des Plaines IL
International Classification:
B01J 3842
US Classification:
502 35, 502 34, 502 38, 502 56
Abstract:
A method is disclosed for decreasing the emissions of chlorine-containing species from a moving bed process for regenerating spent catalyst particles with a recycle gas stream. A recycle gas stream contacts spent catalyst particles at regeneration conditions, thereby producing a flue gas stream. The flue gas stream which contains chlorine-containing species contacts spent catalyst particles at sorption conditions. The sorption conditions are characterized by the substantial absence of carbon combustion. The spent catalyst particles sorb the chlorine-containing species from the flue gas stream, thereby producing the recycle gas stream. A portion of the recycle gas stream is vented from the process. This method captures and returns to the process the chlorine-containing species that would be lost from the process and that would need to be replaced by the injection of make-up chlorine-containing species. This method results in a significant savings in capital and operating costs of the process.

Method And Apparatus For Alkylation Using Solid Catalyst Particles In A Transport Reactor

View page
US Patent:
6486374, Nov 26, 2002
Filed:
Feb 12, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/249749
Inventors:
William H. Radcliffe - Prospect Heights IL
Wesley L. Kiel - Des Plaines IL
Christopher D. Gosling - Roselle IL
Paul A. Sechrist - Des Plaines IL
Paul Anderson - Palatine IL
Assignee:
UOP LLC - Des Plaines IL
International Classification:
C07C 15067
US Classification:
585714, 585446, 585451, 585716, 585719, 585721, 585921, 585924, 585926
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for alkylating an alkylation substrate with an alkylating agent in the presence of solid catalyst particles in a transport reactor is disclosed. Solid catalyst particles in the transport reactor effluent recirculate to the inlet of the transport reactor through one or more conduits. The rate through each conduit is regulated by fluid-controlled valves that use the alkylation substrate as the regulating fluid. This method and apparatus help ensure uniform or symmetric flow of catalyst from the effluent of the transport reactor to the bottom of the transport reactor. This method and apparatus also help ensure uniform or symmetric flow of alkylation substrate to the bottom of the transport reactor with minimal bypassing by the alkylating agent around of the transport reactor. This invention finds use in the production of motor fuels by the alkylation of liquid hydrocarbons in the presence of solid catalyst particles.

Cyclone For Separating Fine Solid Particles From A Gas Stream

View page
US Patent:
6673133, Jan 6, 2004
Filed:
Apr 27, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/844979
Inventors:
Paul A. Sechrist - Des Plaines IL
Brian W. Hedrick - Rolling Meadows IL
Assignee:
UOP LLC - Des Plaines IL
International Classification:
B01D 4512
US Classification:
55348, 55396, 55457
Abstract:
A novel cyclone is disclosed that is effective for separating, from a contaminated gas stream, solid particulates having diameters as low as 4-5 microns. When multiple cyclones of the present invention are affixed between upper and lower tube sheets in a separator device, fine particle removal is possible to the extent required 1) by stringent regulations governing particulate emissions into the atmosphere, or 2) to prevent damage to turbine blades in downstream power recovery equipment. The cyclones are especially relevant to the problem of removing catalyst fines from refinery effluents, most notably fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) regenerator flue gas. The cyclone separation efficiency is enhanced through the use of 1) a uni-directional flow of gas from the contaminated gas inlet to the clean gas outlet and 2) discharge openings on the surface of the cyclone body that allow ejection of solid particulates.

Process And Apparatus For Cooling Polymer In A Reactor

View page
US Patent:
6703479, Mar 9, 2004
Filed:
Dec 3, 2001
Appl. No.:
10/011334
Inventors:
James F. McGehee - Milan, IT
Giuseppina R. Boveri - Tortona, IT
Paul A. Sechrist - Des Plaines IL
Assignee:
UOP LLC - Des Plaines IL
International Classification:
C08F 600
US Classification:
528503, 528492, 4222451, 422251, 422253
Abstract:
A process and apparatus is disclosed for heating or cooling polymer solids in a dispensing section of a solid-state polycondensation reactor. Gas is delivered to the dispensing section of the reactor in which it cools polymer solids in the dispensing section by direct heat exchange. Part of the gas is withdrawn at a point proximate to the dispensing section of the reactor and is cooled. The rest of the gas ascends through a reactive section of the reactor and purges polymer solids of impurities. The gas withdrawn from the reactive section of the reactor is oxidized of impurities and dried and then combined with the gas withdrawn proximate to the dispensing section of the reactor. To achieve uniform heating or cooling of the polymer solids in the dispensing section, a preferred ratio of mass flow rate of gas to the mass flow rate of solids is recommended.
