Publication number: 20200188934Abstract: A method for removing suspended particles from fluids in an electrostatic separator is provided. Porous materials can be utilized within the electrostatic separator to promote separation of the suspended particles from the fluids. Small particles of catalyst material which may be entrained in a fluid stream (such as an oil) may be filtered, or captured, from the fluid stream and retained by the porous materials including reticulates.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 17, 2019Publication date: June 18, 2020Applicant: CRYSTAPHASE PRODUCTS, INC.Inventors: JOHN N.

Patent number: 10662986Abstract: 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: GrantFiled: April 9, 2019Date of Patent: May 26, 2020Assignee: CRYSTAPHASE PRODUCTS, INC.Inventors: John N. Glover, Peter Gregory Ham, Austin Schneider
