Publication number: 20240066484Abstract: Process vessels can contain one or more entry zones containing stability-improving materials. The entry zones address bed movement and filtration problems. The stability-improving material can be positioned above a treating zone or above a processing bed within the vessel. Entry Zones are intended to improve the stability of downstream operations.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 6, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Applicant: Crystaphase Products, Inc.Inventors: BRADLEY GLOVER, AUSTIN SCHNEIDER, JOHN N. GLOVER, PETER GREGORY HAM

Publication number: 20230390723Abstract: A method for enabling gas exchange and chemical reactions with one or more liquid streams contained in a reactive process vessel are provided. One or more exchange layers within the process vessel can be composed of both collector media and releaser media. The exchange layers allow elements to facilitate increased performance of vessel operations by promoting gas component mixing and diffusion. Improved rates of gas component exchange mean less coking and more gas components available for reaction.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 21, 2023Publication date: December 7, 2023Applicant: Crystaphase Products, Inc.Inventors: JOHN N. GLOVER, BRADLEY GLOVER, AUSTIN SCHNEIDER, PETER GREGORY HAM

Patent number: 10258902Abstract: Materials and methods for mitigating the effects of halide species contained in process streams are provided. A halide-containing process stream can be contacted with mitigation materials comprising active metal oxides and a non-acidic high surface area carrier combined with a solid, porous substrate. The halide species in the process stream can be reacted with the mitigation material to produce neutralized halide salts and a process stream that is essentially halide-free. The neutralized salts can be attracted and retained on the solid, porous substrate.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2017Date of Patent: April 16, 2019Assignee: Crystaphase Products, Inc.Inventor: Umakant Pravinchandra Joshi

Patent number: 7265189Abstract: A method for removing contaminants from an process stream that includes the use of reticulated material to filter the process stream. The reticulated material also facilitate process stream flow distribution in process units. The reticulated material can be packed with a void space between a substantial number of the reticulated material that can be varied to enhance filtration and flow distribution. The method of filtering also provides a method of removing contaminants leaving process equipment. The methods can be used on a variety of process streams and process equipment. The reticulated material can include ceramics, metallic materials, and chemical vapor deposition elements. The reticulated material can be of various shapes and sizes, and can also be catalytically active.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2003Date of Patent: September 4, 2007Assignee: Crystaphase Products, Inc.Inventor: John N.
