  • Reaction system, methods and products therefrom
    Patent number: 9828557
    Abstract: A reaction system and method for removing heteroatoms from oxidized-heteroatom-containing hydrocarbon streams and products derived therefrom are disclosed. An oxidized-heteroatom-containing hydrocarbon feed is reacted in a reaction system thereby forming non-ionic hydrocarbon products. The products derived therefrom are useful as transportation fuels, lubricants, refinery intermediates, or refinery feeds.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 23, 2015
    Date of Patent: November 28, 2017
    Assignee: AUTERRA, INC.
    Inventors: Jonathan Rankin, Sarah Clickner, Kyle Erik Litz, Larry Neil Lewis, John Faherty, Eric Kolibas, Stephen Hemberger, John Richardson, Mark Rossetti
  • Methods for upgrading of contaminated hydrocarbon streams
    Patent number: 9206359
    Abstract: A method of upgrading a heteroatom-containing hydrocarbon feed by removing oxidized-heteroatom contaminants is disclosed. The method includes contacting the oxidized-heteroatom-containing hydrocarbon feed with a caustic and a selectivity promoter, and removing the heteroatom contaminants from the heteroatom-containing hydrocarbon feed.
    Type: Grant
