20100086451 | COMBINED SYNTHESIS GAS GENERATOR - In various systems and processes, synthesis gas generation may be combined. A partial oxidation reactor (POX) and a gas convectively heated steam/hydrocarbon catalytic reformer (GHR) may be combined to produce synthesis gas. In some implementations, a partial oxidation reactor, a gas convectively heated steam/catalytic reformer, and a waste hat boiler may be combined to produce synthesis gas. | 04-08-2010 |
20110142722 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING SYNTHESIS GAS - A method and apparatus for reacting a hydrocarbon containing feed stream by steam methane reforming reactions to form a synthesis gas. The hydrocarbon containing feed is reacted within a reactor having stages in which the final stage from which a synthesis gas is discharged incorporates expensive high temperature materials such as oxide dispersed strengthened metals while upstream stages operate at a lower temperature allowing the use of more conventional high temperature alloys. Each of the reactor stages incorporate reactor elements having one or more separation zones to separate oxygen from an oxygen containing feed to support combustion of a fuel within adjacent combustion zones, thereby to generate heat to support the endothermic steam methane reforming reactions. | 06-16-2011 |
20110150713 | Catalytic membrane for biodiesel production - A chamber configured to confine a chemical reaction producing liquid biodiesel fuel from a liquid reactant mixture containing oil. The chamber comprises a membrane wall having a pore size capable of allowing flow of liquid biodiesel fuel through the membrane wall and retaining unreacted oil within the chamber. The membrane wall is further layered with one or more heterogeneous coatings of solid particles operable to catalyze the chemical reaction producing liquid biodiesel fuel from the liquid reactant mixture. Most of solid particles have a dimension larger than the pore size of the membrane wall so that they do not enter and clog the pores. Optionally, there are two coatings comprising a basic catalyst for a transesterification reaction and an acidic catalyst for an esterification reaction. | 06-23-2011 |
20120063963 | SELECTIVE CO METHANATION CATALYST, METHOD OF PRODUCING THE SAME, AND APPARATUS USING THE SAME - Provided is a new catalyst capable of removing carbon monoxide economically without adding particular reaction gas externally. Also provided are a process for producing and an apparatus using such a catalyst. Impregnation of a Ni—Al composite oxide precursor of a nonstoichiometric composition prepared by the solution-spray plasma technique with a ruthenium salt to be supported and performing reduction treatment allows CO methanation reaction to selectively proceed even in the high-temperature range in which CO | 03-15-2012 |
20130078159 | SEPARATION OF CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2) FROM GAS MIXTURES BY CALCIUM BASED REACTION SEPARATION (CaRS-CO2) PROCESS - A reaction-based process developed for the selective removal of CO2 from a multicomponent gas mixture to provide a gaseous stream depleted in CO2 compared to the inlet CO2 concentration. The proposed process effects the separation of CO2 from a mixture of gases by its reaction with metal oxides. The Calcium based Reaction Separation for CO2 (CaRS-CO2) process consists of contacting CO2 laden gas with CaO in a reactor such that CaO captures CO2 by the formation of CaCO3. CaCO3 is regenerated by calcination leading to the formation of fresh CaO sorbent and the evolution of a concentrated stream of CO2. The “regenerated” CaO is then recycled for the further capture of CO2. This carbonation-calcination cycle forms the basis of the CaRS-CO2 process. This process also may use a mesoporous CaCO3 structure that attains >90% conversion over multiple carbonation and calcination cycles. | 03-28-2013 |
20130142700 | FLOW DISTRIBUTION FOR MONOLITHIC REACTORS - Systems, apparatus, and methods for distributing a mixed phase fluid to a monolith catalyst bed within a reactor, wherein a mixed phase fluid may be generated by a nozzle tray comprising a plurality of nozzles, the mixed phase fluid may be distributed by the nozzles to a mixed phase distributor system, and the mixed phase fluid may be further distributed by the mixed phase distributor system to a plurality of monolith channels within the reactor. | 06-06-2013 |
20140072481 | CATALYTIC STATIC MIXING REACTOR - A catalytic static mixing reactor has a conduit casing defined about an axis of a fluid flow. A catalyst is deposited on a mixing element. The mixing element is adapted to be inserted in the conduit. The element provides an exceptionally high surface area and is formed to obstacle the primary flow inducing a first order mixing phenomenon. The element is formed with at least one irregular surface or edge capable of inducing a second order mixing phenomenon. The irregular surface is adapted as a catalytic supporting surface. The supporting surface supports the deposition of the catalyst thereon so that a third order chemical reaction phenomenon is coupled with that of said first and second order mixing phenomenon at the catalytic surface so that a reactant to be converted in the fluid flow is converted to at least one predetermined product during said first and second order mixing phenomenon. | 03-13-2014 |
20150086430 | REACTIVE RECTIFICATION COLUMN FOR PERFORMING CHEMICAL REACTIONS - A device for performing chemical reactions, in which one starting substance is in the liquid phase and one product is in the gaseous phase, is proposed, comprising a reaction zone which includes two catalytic sections, each section having a feed channel and an overflow well which simultaneously acts as the feed channel for the next section, such that liquid from each section passes into the overflow well of this section and via it enters the lower part of the next section, the device being designed to permit removal of the gaseous products of each section, bypassing the remaining sections. | 03-26-2015 |
