20100162029SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROCESS IMPROVEMENT IN PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENTS - A computer-implemented method is provided for identifying a root cause associated with a problem in a production environment. The method includes receiving information indicative of a point-of-origin of the problem. The method further includes providing a cause-and-effect chart having a plurality of user-definable general cause categories, each of the general cause categories having at least one user-definable direct cause subcategory. The method further automatically identifies a primary direct cause of the problem based on the user-defined general cause categories and direct cause subcategories. The method further includes automatically generating a root cause analysis report associated with the primary direct cause, where generating the report includes displaying the cause-and-effect chart and prompting the user for a response to a first of a plurality of questions, wherein the response to the first of the plurality of questions automatically prompts the user for a response to a second of a plurality of questions.06-24-2010

20080313955Catalytic cracking process for production of diesel from seeds of oleaginous plants - The present invention comprises a thermocatalytic cracking process for the production of diesel oil from a charge of vegetable origin made from seeds of oleaginous plants in refineries possessing at least two FCC reactors. At least -one of such reactors processes heavy gas oil or residue under conventional conditions whilst at least one of such reactors processes the charge of vegetable origin made from seeds of oleaginous plants under conditions suitable, for production of diesel oil. Said process employs the same catalyst utilised in the fluid catalytic cracking process which, simultaneously, processes a conventional charge.12-25-2008
20090142241SYSTEM AND PROCESS FOR THE SEPARATION OF SUSPENSIONS OF SPENT CATALYSTS AND HYDROCARBONS FORMED IN A FLUID CATALYTIC CRACKING UNIT WITH MULTIPLE ASCENDING FLOW REACTION TUBES - The present invention relates to a system for the separation of suspensions of spent catalysts and hydrocarbons formed in an FCC unit with multiple ascending flow reaction tubes, comprising interconnections between each of the ascending flow reaction tubes and the separator vessel, each interconnection also comprises two sections The outside sections of the separator vessel are inclined and are connected to a single vertical section, which penetrates into the interior of the separator vessel, and which has at its lower end an open device for draining the spent catalyst from the suspensions separated in this sector. In the same vertical section, at the end of its internal part at the separator vessel, a series of two sets of cyclones are installed, the first set containing cyclones without sealing legs, and the second set containing conventional cyclones of the first stage.06-04-2009
20110155642FLUID CATALYTIC CRACKING PROCESS WITH REDUCED CARBON DIOXIDE EMISSION - This invention concerns a fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) process with reduced carbon monoxide emission which modifies the regeneration phase of the spent catalyst by using pure oxygen without the need for dilution when burning coke adhering to the catalyst. In addition, this invention improves the reconditioning stage of the catalyst, incorporating a reconditioner supplementary to a conventional reconditioner which employs nitrogen as a carrier gas in the reconditioning of the already regenerated catalyst.06-30-2011

20100316328Fiber optic position transducer with magnetostrictive material and position calibration process - Fiber optic position transducer that includes a magnetic or electromagnetic element, one or more segments of magnetostrictive material, Fiber Bragg Grating Sensors, a rod of material that is impenetrable to magnetic fields, optical fiber. One or more of the sensors is fixed upon a segment of magnetostrictive material, which is fixed to a rod, and may only be displaced longitudinally. The Fiber Bragg Grating Sensors have different wave lengths and are made of the same optical fiber. The magnetic or electromagnetic element included may be made of NdFeB (Neodymium Iron Boron) or metal alloys of TbDyFe (Terbium, Dysprosium and Iron), such as TX, Terphenol-D and others. It is applied to a control flow valve in an oil well, and it also refers to the calibration process of the position of the transducer.12-16-2010
