Patent number: 9933022Abstract: A synchronizing device is provided for synchronizing a first rotatable part with a second rotatable part adjacent to the first rotatable part. The synchronizing device includes a first part provided with an engaging sleeve and a second part provided with a synchronizer ring. The synchronizing device has at least one positioning resilient member which is arranged to act upon the synchronizer ring and the second part, in order to allow a design with few parts and also to resynchronize the synchronizing ring with the second part. A transmission including such a synchronizing device is also provided.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2013Date of Patent: April 3, 2018Assignee: Volvo Truck CorporationInventor: Ronald Olsson

Patent number: 9150478Abstract: Recovery of ethanol from a crude ethanol product obtained from the hydrogenation of acetic acid using a low energy process. The crude ethanol product is separated in a column to produce a distillate stream comprising acetaldehyde and a residue stream comprising ethanol, acetic acid, ethyl acetate and water. The ethanol product is recovered from the residue stream.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2014Date of Patent: October 6, 2015Assignee: Celanese International CorporationInventors: David Lee, Fred Ronald Olsson, Adam Orosco, Nathan Kirk Powell, Manuel Salado, Lincoln Sarager, R.

Patent number: 8304587Abstract: Recovery of ethanol from a crude ethanol product obtained from the hydrogenation of acetic acid. Separation and purification processes of crude ethanol product are employed to allow recovery of ethanol and remove impurities. In addition, the process involves separating the crude ethanol product using an extractive distillation column that employs an extraction agent, such as a recycled stream comprising water.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2010Date of Patent: November 6, 2012Assignee: Celanese International CorporationInventors: R.

Publication number: 20120277483Abstract: Recovery of alcohol, in particular ethanol, from a crude product obtained from the hydrogenation of a feed stream comprising a carbonylation stock selected from the group consisting of acetic acid, and acetic acid and an ester thereof. The hydrogenation reaction produces a reactor product that is dehydrated to produce a dried product stream that comprises less water than the feed stream. This controls the additional water fed to the hydrogenation unit.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 9, 2011Publication date: November 1, 2012Applicant: Celanese International CorporationInventors: Trinity Horton, Victor J.

Publication number: 20120253084Abstract: A process for producing ethanol comprising the steps of hydrogenating an acetic acid feed stream to form a crude ethanol product and separating at least a portion of the crude ethanol product to form an ethanol stream and at least one vent stream. The vent stream comprises non-condensable gases at least one volatile organic. The process further comprises the step of scrubbing the vent stream with at least two different solvents to recover the volatile organics.
