Publication number: 20240109010Abstract: A method of filtration in a process vessel using a treated filter media which has been treated with a conditioner for improved filtration of contaminants is provided. The treated filter media can be used in process vessels for refining, petrochemical, and chemical plants to treat process streams. The conditioner can be the same material as what is expected to be captured during the fouling process. In other words, the conditioner that is added to the treated filter media can be the same material as the contaminant in the fluid stream to be treated. This allows for chemical compatibility with an existing process fluid stream. This also allows for the natural continuation of the filtration process.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 2, 2023Publication date: April 4, 2024Applicant: CRYSTAPHASE PRODUCTS, INC.Inventors: BRADLEY GLOVER, AUSTIN SCHNEIDER, JEFFREY SCOTT OLIVER, PETER GREGORY HAM

Patent number: 11935046Abstract: Embodiments disclosed are directed to an immutable database in a data processing system for tracking a data state of the data processing system using multiple timelines or temporal sequences representing events occurring in the data processing system. The immutable database may maintain a current temporal sequence representing an existing data state of the data processing system and generate alternate temporal sequences representing an alternate data state of the data processing system. The alternate temporal sequence may be used to test retroactive events that are intended to replace or correct events that occurred in the current temporal sequence.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2021Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Capital One Services, LLCInventors: Philip Austin Kedy, Kenneth J. Schneider, Aaron Zhang

Publication number: 20240066484Abstract: Process vessels can contain one or more entry zones containing stability-improving materials. The entry zones address bed movement and filtration problems. The stability-improving material can be positioned above a treating zone or above a processing bed within the vessel. Entry Zones are intended to improve the stability of downstream operations.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 6, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Applicant: Crystaphase Products, Inc.Inventors: BRADLEY GLOVER, AUSTIN SCHNEIDER, JOHN N.

Patent number: 11915236Abstract: Embodiments disclosed are directed to an immutable database with a bitemporal ledger for storing transactions in timelines for maintaining a record of all events and resources within the system. The bitemporal ledger may store a sequence of transactions which include a plurality of transactions previously received by the data processing system in a temporal sequence up to a current time. A new transaction is received and may be appended to the sequence of transactions based on temporal metadata associated with the transaction are received, The temporal metadata may include a valid-from time and a created-at time.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2021Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: Capital One Services, LLCInventors: Philip Austin Kedy, Kenneth J.

Publication number: 20240002245Abstract: A method for forming an insoluble adduct using an acidic medium is provided. A chemical process utilizes acidic media to change the solubility behavior of metal solutes. The method can utilize Group 1 soluble alkali metals but can also be extended to any other soluble salts discussed under the solubility rules. The insoluble salts can be Group 2 alkaline earth metals or other insoluble salts. The insoluble adduct can have the designation XYZ where X is a soluble metal from a metal hydroxide or a metal oxide, Y is an insoluble metal from an insoluble metal hydroxide or an insoluble metal oxide, and Z is the acid ion from an aqueous acidic media.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 12, 2023Publication date: January 4, 2024Applicant: CRYSTAPHASE PRODUCTS, INC.Inventors: UMAKANT PRAVINCHANDRA JOSHI, AUSTIN SCHNEIDER, BRADLEY GLOVER, JOHN N.

Publication number: 20230407892Abstract: A method for facilitating the distribution of the flow of one or more streams within a bed vessel is provided. Disposed within the bed vessel are internal materials and structures including multiple operating zones. One type of operating zone can be a processing zone composed of one or more beds of solid processing material. Another type of operating zone can be a treating zone. Treating zones can facilitate the distribution of the one or more streams fed to processing zones. The distribution can facilitate contact between the feed streams and the processing materials contained in the processing zones.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 8, 2023Publication date: December 21, 2023Applicant: CRYSTAPHASE PRODUCTS, INC.Inventors: JOHN N. GLOVER, PETER GREGORY HAM, AUSTIN SCHNEIDER

Publication number: 20230390723Abstract: A method for enabling gas exchange and chemical reactions with one or more liquid streams contained in a reactive process vessel are provided. One or more exchange layers within the process vessel can be composed of both collector media and releaser media. The exchange layers allow elements to facilitate increased performance of vessel operations by promoting gas component mixing and diffusion. Improved rates of gas component exchange mean less coking and more gas components available for reaction.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 21, 2023Publication date: December 7, 2023Applicant: Crystaphase Products, Inc.Inventors: JOHN N.
