  • System and process for pyrolysis gasoline hydrotreatment
    Patent number: 7014750
    Abstract: Systems and processes for the hydrotreatment of pyrolysis gasoline comprising reactors, monolithic catalyst beds and hydrogen-containing treatment gases that allow for improved efficiency and productivity over conventional trickle bed processes and systems for such hydrotreatment.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 5, 2004
    Date of Patent: March 21, 2006
    Assignee: Corning Incorporated
    Inventors: Thorsten R. Boger, Shantanu Roy, Charles M. Sorensen, Jr.
  • Monolith loop reactors
    Patent number: 6790417
    Abstract: An improved recirculating tank reactor incorporating the advantages of a fixed catalyst includes a monolithic honeycomb catalyst positioned within the tank in such a manner so as to provide an adjacent bypass passageway. Internal flow activation means are provided for recirculating the reactant liquid within the tank in such a manner that it sequentially flows through channels in the catalyzed honeycomb substrate and around the substrate through the bypass passageway.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 21, 2000
