20110275877 | Separation of Normal Paraffins from Isoparaffins Using Rapid Cycle Pressure Swing Adsorption - The separation of normal paraffins from isoparaffins using rapid cycle pressure swing adsorption. The present invention also relates to an isomerization process wherein normal paraffins are converted to isoparaffins resulting in an effluent stream containing a mixture of normal paraffins and isoparaffins, which effluent stream is sent to a rapid cycle pressure swing adsorption unit to perform the separation of normal paraffins from isoparaffins. | 11-10-2011 |

20140165356 | CONVERSION OF A REFORMING PROCESS/UNIT INTO A PARTIAL NAPHTHA CRACKING PROCESS/UNIT - A cost effective method for reutilizing exiting refinery equipment associated with either a Reformer Unit or Isomerization Unit by converting such units into units and associated processes for hydrodesulfurizing and cracking naphtha feedstocks into light plant gases and chemical feedstocks. These existing Reformer or Isomerization units and processes can be converted into the processes described herein with very little capital expenditures, essentially utilizing almost all of the existing unit equipment, and with little to no major equipment replacements. The processes disclosed herein also effectively reduce the overproduction of naphtha currently experienced in many modern refineries that have resulted from a reduction in overall demand of gasoline products relative to other refinery products. | 06-19-2014 |
