Publication number: 20240126677Abstract: Techniques for managing anomalies in a software system include monitoring the software system for anomalies via a plurality of signals and determining that signal results associated with the signals indicate a presence of an anomaly in the software system. The techniques also include identifying a hierarchy of sensors associated with the anomaly, where the hierarchy includes a parent sensor and a set of child sensors that are direct or indirect descendants of the parent sensor. The techniques additionally include executing the parent and child sensors to analyze the software system for one or more causes of the anomaly, and determining the cause(s) of the anomaly based on sensor results generated by the parent and child sensors. Finally, the techniques include causing remediation of the cause(s) of the anomaly based on one or more child sensors associated with the cause(s) and one or more resolutions mapped to the child sensor(s).Type: ApplicationFiled: October 17, 2022Publication date: April 18, 2024Applicant: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Joel Dupont, Soumen Kundu, Venugopal Puli, Rajesh Bajya, Shashi Kanth Gottipati, Pier Paolo Fiorentino, Santhosh Reddy Chereku, Mihai Ciocan, Gabriela Tofan

Patent number: 11845719Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to processes and systems for producing liquid transportation fuels by converting a feed stream that comprises both isopentane and n-pentane, and optionally, some C6+ hydrocarbons. Isopentane and smaller hydrocarbons are separated to form a first fraction while n-pentane and larger components of the feed stock form a second fraction. Each fraction is then catalytically-activated in a separate reaction zone with a separate catalyst, where the conditions maintained in each zone maximize the conversion of each fraction to olefins and aromatics, while minimizing the production of C1-C4 light paraffins. In certain embodiments, the first fraction is activated at a lower temperature than the second fraction.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2023Date of Patent: December 19, 2023Assignee: Phillips 66 CompanyInventors: Anthony O. Baldridge, Matthew J. Wulfers, Neal D. McDaniel, Robert M. Walston, Soumen Kundu, Bruce B Randolph

Publication number: 20230089190Abstract: A process for oxidative dehydrogenation of a hydrocarbon to produce an olefin and water may include contacting, in a fluidized bed, the hydrocarbon with a particulate material, which may include at least one oxygen transfer agent (OTA) and at least one fluidization enhancing additive. During at least a portion of contacting the hydrocarbon with the particulate material, the fluidized bed may be at a temperature at or above a melting point of one or more materials of the oxygen transfer agent. Further, during at least a portion of contacting the hydrocarbon with the particulate material, a surface of at least a portion of the OTA may comprise a molten layer. The fluidization enhancing additive may not undergo reduction in the fluidized bed during contacting the hydrocarbon with the particulate material and may be present in an amount that maintains sufficient fluidization of the particulate material.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 19, 2021Publication date: March 23, 2023Applicants: Dow Global Technologies LLC, EcoCatalytic Inc.Inventors: Elena Y.

Patent number: 11406958Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally processes and systems for converting a C2-C7 light alkanes feed to liquid transportation fuels or value-added chemicals. The feed is contacted with an aromatization catalyst at a temperature and pressure that selectively converts C4 and larger alkanes to an intermediate product comprising monocyclic aromatics and olefins. Following separation of the aromatics and C5+ hydrocarbons from the intermediate product, unconverted C2-C3 alkanes are thermally-cracked to produce olefins that are subsequently oligomerized to produce a liquid transportation fuel blend stock or value-added chemicals.Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 2020Date of Patent: August 9, 2022Assignee: Phillips 66 CompanyInventors: Jianhua Yao, Neal D. McDaniel, Bruce B. Randolph, Robert M. Walston, Anthony O. Baldridge, James A. Suttil, Soumen Kundu, Hong Xie, Steven E. Lusk

Patent number: 10487277Abstract: Systems operable to produce liquid transportation fuels by converting a hydrocarbon feed stream that comprises both isopentane and n-pentane. The system separates the hydrocarbon feed stream to form a first fraction comprising isopentane and smaller hydrocarbons, and a second fraction comprising n-pentane and larger components of the hydrocarbon feeds stream. Each fraction is then catalytically-activated in a separate activation reactor containing a separate activation catalyst, where the conditions maintained in each reactor are selected to maximize the conversion of each fraction to olefins and aromatics, while minimizing the production of C1-C4 light paraffins. Optionally, the first activation reactor is maintained at a lower temperature than the second activation reactor.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2019Date of Patent: November 26, 2019Assignee: PHILLIPS 66 COMPANYInventors: Anthony O.
