Abstract: A method for selectively hydrogenating acetylene in a cracked gas from a steam cracking unit for producing olefins may include separating a hydrogenation feed from the cracked gas. The hydrogenation feed may include acetylene, hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and at least one product. The method may further include contacting the hydrogenation feed with an acetylene hydrogenation catalyst, the contacting causing hydrogenation of at least a portion of the acetylene of the hydrogenation feed to produce a hydrogenation effluent. In response to a change in a composition of a feedstock to the steam cracking unit that results in a change in a hydrogen concentration in the hydrogenation feed, the method may further include determining the hydrogen concentration in the hydrogenation feed and increasing or decreasing a temperature of the hydrogenation feed based on the determined hydrogen concentration of the hydrogenation feed.

Abstract: A method of adjusting a position of a blank entering a furnace includes measuring a position of a heated blank exiting the furnace, recording one or more offset values from a nominal value of the heated blank exiting the furnace, calculating a revised position of a subsequent blank entering the furnace as a function of the one or more offset values, and adjusting a position of the subsequent blank entering the furnace as a function of the one or more offset values. The position of the heated blank exiting the furnace can be measured with an electronic vision system, a robot can adjust the position of the subsequent blank, and offset value(s) can be an elapsed furnace operation time, a number of heated blanks that have exited the furnace, and a physical dimension between an actual position of the heated blank and the nominal value of the heated blank.

Abstract: In certain embodiments, Lube Oil Controlled Ignition (LOCI) Engine Combustion overcomes the drawbacks of known combustion technologies. First, lubricating oil is already part of any combustion engine; hence, there is no need to carry a secondary fuel and to have to depend on an additional fuel system as in the case of dual-fuel technologies. Second, the ignition and the start of combustion rely on the controlled autoignition of the lubricating oil preventing the occurrence of abnormal combustion as experienced with the Spark Ignition technology. Third, LOCI combustion is characterized by the traveling of a premixed flame; hence, it has a controllable duration resulting in a wide engine load-speed window unlike the Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition technology where the engine load-speed window is narrow. Adaptive Intake Valve Closure may be used to control in-cylinder compression temperature to be high enough to realize the consistent auto ignition of the lubricating oil mist.
