Patent number: 9303216Abstract: A process for upgrading hydrocarbon oil including mixing hydrocarbon oil with hydrogen gas and heating the hydrogen-enriched hydrocarbon oil before passing the oil through a cavitation apparatus to induce hydrotreating. Hydrotreating is achieved by hydrodynamically generating hydrogen-filled cavitation bubbles and collapsing the bubbles in the hydrocarbon oil under static pressure. The hydrotreating process can increase the API gravity of the hydrocarbon oil and reduce the viscosity of the hydrocarbon oil.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2012Date of Patent: April 5, 2016Assignee: ARISDYNE SYSTEMS, INC.Inventors: Oleg Kozyuk, Peter Reimers, Paul A.

Patent number: 9290717Abstract: A reactor is used for degumming vegetable oil to increase yield and reduce phosphatides. The reactor includes an annular obstruction with multiple circumferential spacers that form ring gaps around a center body having a tapered surface. The circumferential spacers and ring gaps form decompression stages for explosively mixing the oil with degumming agents. Impurities are transferred to the degumming agents and further separation of the components can be carried out to produce a refined oil product.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2014Date of Patent: March 22, 2016Assignee: ARISDYNE SYSTEMS, INC.Inventors: Oleg Kozyuk, Peter Reimers, Paul A.
