Patent number: 10118824Abstract: The invention relates to a process for purifying synthesis gas, comprising at least one stage for separating the crude synthesis gas to be treated into at least two effluents, namely a first part and a complementary part, in which the said first part is subjected to a carbon monoxide conversion stage with steam and the said complementary part is subjected to a COS and HCN catalytic hydrolysis stage, the two gas flows, namely the first part and complementary part, are then each treated separately in two stages intended to remove acid gases such as CO2 and H2S, by washing with aqueous solutions of specific amines, before a recombination stage of the two treated effluents.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2014Date of Patent: November 6, 2018Assignees: AVRIL, AXENS, IFP ENERGIES NOUVELLES, BIONEXT, THYSSENKRUPP INDUSTRIAL SOLUTIONS AG, TOTAL RAFFINAGE CHIMIE, COMMISSARIAT A L'ENERGIE ATOMIQUE ET AUX ENERGIES ALTERNATIVESInventors: David Chiche, Anne Claire Pierron, Norbert Ullrich

Publication number: 20090017506Abstract: A process to obtain multiple bacterial cellulose sheets without the need to replace new fermentation medium in the tray is provided. The medium is prepared and medium components in water are dissolved. The medium is sterilized and heated to 115° C. for 20 minutes, cooled to 30° C., inoculated with a suspension of bacteriae, and distributed in the trays that are left to rest. The sheets are harvested and drained over the corresponding trays. Further steps include repetition of the fermentation in the trays left to rest and harvest of the sheets from the trays, draining them over the corresponding trays until the volume of medium in the tray is 15%-25% of the initial volume. Then, a new medium should be added. Fermentation and draining is repeated until the volume of medium in the tray is 15%-25% of the initial volume, when new medium is added and the cycle is re-started.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2005Publication date: January 15, 2009Applicant: BIONEXT PRODUTOS BIOTECNOLOGICOS LTDA.Inventors: Luiz Fernando Xavier Farah, Pablo Angel Sanchez Podlech, Cristiane do Rocio Archanjo, Lucila Adriani Coral
