Publication number: 20230145811Abstract: A dense loading system with wave loader is a device intended to maximize and evenly distribute catalyst within a catalyst reactor. More specifically, the device provides a dense loading machine that uses air/nitrogen to propel catalysts within the space of a catalyst reactor. To accomplish this, the system includes a unique arrangement of components that utilizes a hybrid distribution of catalyst through a specifically shaped catalyst distribution disc. Further, the catalyst distribution disc is subjected to both pneumatic and rotational forces with the help of a sparger system and a motor system. In addition, the system provides a dense loading machine that may be operated manually or autonomously. Further, the device may load catalyst in radial waves, may achieve targeted area loading, and includes a gyroscopic auto alignment system for the catalyst distribution disc. Thus, the dense loading system that can efficiently and evenly distribute catalyst within a catalyst reactor.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 25, 2022Publication date: May 11, 2023Inventors: Emir Zahirovic, Marc Angelo Rogato, Richard Visscher

Patent number: 11559775Abstract: An equal flow scale catcher device, or EFSC, is designed based on a unique scale catching technology for a reactor. With multiple scale catching modules, the EFSC offers equal flows to a catalyst bed or distribution tray of the reactor, independent of each module's degree of saturation with particles of an incoming fluid during operation. Thus, the innovative EFSC system achieves substantial uniformity of fluid delivery across the distribution tray of the reactor and the static pressure field above the liquid level on the distribution tray. Further, the EFSC effectively captures solid particles in the incoming fluid to the reactor and solid particles that form at the top head of the reactor. The EFSC employs a modular structure that allows optimal configuration of the scale catching modules and scale catching units inside each scale catching module, thus efficiently facilitating simple and efficient installation, maintenance, and/or replacement of the EFSC.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2021Date of Patent: January 24, 2023Assignee: CATMASTERS LLCInventors: Emir Zahirovic, Marc Rogato

Patent number: 11235302Abstract: A catalyst loading and unloading system for chemical reactors has an extendable catalyst transfer tube that is fed by a catalyst hopper and controlled by a tube displacement mechanism; more particularly, by a winch mechanism. As the reactor chamber fills with catalyst, a lower end of the extendable catalyst transfer tube is displaced upward by the tube displacement mechanism to correspond with the rising height of the catalyst bed within the chamber. The extendable catalyst transfer tube may further be used to vacuum old catalyst out of the reactor chamber.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2020Date of Patent: February 1, 2022Assignee: CATMASTERS LLCInventor: Emir Zahirovic

Publication number: 20210191514Abstract: A method and system are invented to display and control objects in an operational zone through a virtual reality (VR) environment using a central controller. The central controller can instantly and continuously acquire and process the data for objects in the operational zone, which includes point clouds, video streaming data, geographical data, superimposed mesh data, etc. Subsequently, the operational zone is displayed in a VR display system, creating a live and vivid three-dimensional (3D) VR for the user. Additionally, the objects in the operational zone can be controlled and operated by the user with various VR tools that are connected to the objects. Thus, the method not only offers the user a VR, but also eliminates the need to place the user in hazardous work areas. Further, the method allows the user to use a personal computing (PC) device to efficiently control the operational zone through the VR.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 17, 2020Publication date: June 24, 2021Inventor: Emir Zahirovic
