  • Patent number: 10865351
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process and an apparatus for producing an olefin-containing feed stream for a steam reforming plant. According to the invention, the olefin-containing hydrocarbon starting material is for this purpose heated, vaporized and catalytically hydrogenated. The hydrogenation product stream obtained is separated in a separation apparatus into a gaseous reforming feed stream, which is fed to a steam reforming plant, and a gaseous recycle stream. Here, the entry temperature of the hydrogenation input stream into the hydrogenation reactor is regulated via the degree to which it is heated and/or via the size of the recycle stream. Safe operation of the hydrogenation reactor over a wide range of olefin contents in the hydrocarbon feed is made possible in this way.

  • Patent number: 10868701
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a wavelet bandpass sampling method, with low aliasing and a corresponding device. The analogue signal to sample is correlated with a sequence of wavelets succeeding each other with a rate fp of which the positions in the sequence are temporally modulated from arguments of a CAZAC sequence, notably a Zadoff-Chu sequence. The correlation results are next sampled at a frequency fs?fp and digitally converted to provide a compressed representation of the signal. The temporal modulation of the positions of the wavelets makes it possible to obtain incoherent aliasing of the correlation signal in the sampling band and thereby to reduce aliasing.

  • Patent number: 10858271
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods for continuous production of ozone strong water, the methods comprising the steps of injecting an acidification agent into a pressurized feed water to maintain a pH value of the pressurized feed water below 7, diffusing a two-phase mixture of O2-O3 gas and recirculated water into a body of acidic pressurized water to dissolve ozone into the acidic pressurized water. The disclosed methods include simultaneously maintaining a start-up mode in an upper portion of the dissolution column that favors high efficiency of ozone mass transfer into the acidic pressurized water and a steady state mode in a lower portion of the dissolution column that favors a high concentration of dissolved ozone in the acidic pressurized water coexistent in the body of the acidic pressurized water, wherein an ozone concentration gradient is formed along a height of the body of the acidic pressurized water.
