  • Patent number: 8728400
    Abstract: Collection enhanced materials, flue gas additives, and methods of making the enhanced materials and flue gas additives are provided. In one embodiment, a down stream addition system configured to control material passing through a metering device from a vessel to a gaseous exhaust path extending between a unit and an exhaust flue of the unit is provided. In alternative embodiments, methods are provided for introducing at least one of a flue gas additive and a collection enhanced material to a gaseous exhaust stream exiting a unit; exposing and removing at least a portion of at least one a of flue gas additive and a collection enhanced material from a gaseous exhaust stream exiting a unit prior to entering an exhaust flue; and recycling at least a portion of material removed a from a gaseous exhaust stream exiting a unit back to the gaseous exhaust stream without passing through the unit.

  • Publication number: 20110309286
    Abstract: Collection enhanced materials, down stream additives, and methods of making the enhanced materials and down stream additives are provided. In one embodiment, a down stream additive is provided that includes an active phase component and at least one of a collection enhancing component. In other embodiments, the down stream additive may have attrition index from about two (2) to about ten (10) and/or an average diameter from about 20 ?m to about 60 ?m. In other embodiments, the down stream additive may have an active phase component which is incompatible with a process performed in an FCC unit. In yet another embodiment, a collection enhanced material having an average diameter from about 60 ?m to about 300 ?m is provided that includes an active component and a collection enhancing component.
