Publication number: 20190048903Abstract: A method for facilitating the distribution of the flow of one or more streams within a bed vessel is provided. Disposed within the bed vessel are internal materials and structures including multiple operating zones. One type of operating zone can be a processing zone composed of one or more beds of solid processing material. Another type of operating zone can be a treating zone. Treating zones can facilitate the distribution of the one or more streams fed to processing zones. The distribution can facilitate contact between the feed streams and the processing materials contained in the processing zones.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 20, 2018Publication date: February 14, 2019Applicant: CRYSTAPHASE PRODUCTS, INC.Inventors: JOHN N. GLOVER, PETER GREGORY HAM, AUSTIN SCHNEIDER

Publication number: 20180093207Abstract: Structured elements with capabilities for stream flow division and distribution and mitigation of undesired species that exceed those of conventionally available materials are provided. The structured elements provide increased opportunities for surface attraction, retention and coalescence of undesired species in a process stream. The functional contact surfaces of the structured elements can include one or more of the faces of cells, the surfaces of struts connecting cells, the surfaces of nodes connecting struts, and the surfaces of asperities or irregularities caused by channels, flutes, spikes, fibrils or filaments in or on the material surfaces.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 21, 2017Publication date: April 5, 2018Applicant: CRYSTAPHASE PRODUCTS, INC.Inventors: John Glover, Austin Schneider, Peter Ham

Publication number: 20180050281Abstract: 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: ApplicationFiled: April 12, 2017Publication date: February 22, 2018Applicant: CRYSTAPHASE PRODUCTS, INC.Inventor: UMAKANT PRAVINCHANDRA JOSHI
