  • Process of polyolefin functionalization
    Patent number: 9657116
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of functionalizing a vinyl terminated polyolefin, the method comprising combining a vinyl terminated polyolefin and a ?,?-unsaturated carbonyl compound at a temperature of at least 150° C. and a pressure of at least 14 psi, forming a functionalized polyolefin. The functionalized polyolefin comprises a compound or mixture of compounds represented the formula: wherein each R1 is, independently, selected from hydrogen and C1 to C4 or C10 alkyls; n is an integer from 2 to 800; and each X is, independently, a functional group derived from the ?,?-unsaturated carbonyl compound.

  • Polyalkylene carboxylic acid polyamine additives for fouling mitigation in hydrocarbon refining processes
    Patent number: 9290584
    Abstract: Methods and systems for reducing fouling, including particulate-induced fouling, in a hydrocarbon refining process including the steps of providing a crude hydrocarbon for a refining process and adding an antifouling agent containing a polymer base unit and a polyamine group to the crude hydrocarbon are provided. The antifouling agent can be obtained by converting a vinyl terminated polymer, such as polypropylene or poly(ethylene-co-propylene), to a terminal acyl containing functional group, followed by reacting the terminal acyl containing functional group with a polyamine compound.
