Patent number: 6673734Abstract: A catalyst component, a catalyst, and a process for making the component and catalyst are disclosed herein. Also disclosed herein is a fluid catalytic cracking process for converting petroleum feedstocks to lower boiling products wherein the feedstock is contacted with the catalyst. The catalyst component is a crystalline microporous oxide catalyst to which a compound for promoting dehydrogenation and increasing Lewis acidity is effectively added. This catalyst component can be included in an inorganic oxide matrix material and used as a catalyst. Preferably, the compound for promoting dehydrogenation and increasing Lewis acidity is effectively added to a non-framework portion of the crystalline microporous oxide.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2000Date of Patent: January 6, 2004Assignee: ExxonMobil Research and Engineering CompanyInventors: William L.

Patent number: 6669104Abstract: A liquid atomization process comprises forming a two-phase fluid mixture of a liquid and a gas, under pressure, dividing the fluid into two separate streams which are passed into and through an impingement mixing zone in which they are impingement mixed to form a single stream of two-phase fluid. The mixed, single stream is then passed into and through a shear mixing zone and then into a lower pressure expansion zone, in which atomization occurs to form a spray of atomized drops of the liquid. The impingement and shear mixing zones comprise respective upstream and downstream portions of a single fluid passageway in a nozzle. This is useful for atomizing the hot feed oil in an FCC process.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2002Date of Patent: December 30, 2003Assignee: ExxonMobil Research and Engineering CompanyInventors: Russell J. Koveal, Jackson I. Ito

Patent number: 6652739Abstract: An improved process for deasphalting a residua feedstock by use of a short vapor residence time process unit comprised of a horizontal moving bed of fluidized and/or stirred hot particles. The vapor phase product stream from said process unit is passed to a soaker drum where a high boiling fraction is separated and recycled to the process unit after undergoing reactions causing molecular weight growth. This reactive recycle using the soaker drum results in substantially improved qualities of the liquid products compared with what is achieved by once-through residua deasphalting process alternatives.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2002Date of Patent: November 25, 2003Assignee: ExxonMobil Research and Engineering CompanyInventors: Mitchell Jacobson, Willibald Serrand, Norman H. Sweed, Hans J. M. Weiss, Ingo W. Dreher, Udo Zentner, Jorg H. Schmalfeld

Patent number: 6610255Abstract: A fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) process performed in a FCC process unit containing a reactor, a regenerator and an outboard vessel. Catalyst particles containing vanadium are circulated back and forth from the reactor to the regenerator and back and forth from the regenerator and the outboard vessel. The outboard vessel contains a vanadium trap material that removes vanadium from at least a portion of the catalyst particles.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2000Date of Patent: August 26, 2003Assignee: ExxonMobil Research and Engineering CompanyInventors: Guang Cao, Todd Richard Steffens, Gordon Frederick Stuntz, Daniel Paul Leta, William Russell Adamson, Albert Yuan-Hsin Hu
