Patent number: 11056706Abstract: A redox flow battery is described that does not include an ion-selective resin such as a proton exchange membrane but rather uses a generally stationary separator liquid that separates the anolyte from the catholyte at immiscible liquid-liquid interfaces. Solvents and electrochemically active components of the anolyte and catholyte would not cross the liquid-liquid interfaces between the separator liquid and the anolyte and catholyte, but certain ions in each of the anolyte and catholyte would cross the interface during charging and discharging of the redox flow battery. The separator liquid comprises a relatively small total volume of liquid in such a flow battery arrangement as compared to the anolyte and catholyte. Suitable chemical options are described along with system options for utilizing immiscible phases.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2019Date of Patent: July 6, 2021Assignee: Phillips 66 CompanyInventors: James Anthony Suttil, Hongjin Tan, Neal McDaniel, Sharmila Samaroo, Jeffrey H.

Patent number: 11021664Abstract: The invention relates to a catalytic hydrocracker with two different catalyst beds within the reactor where each is loaded with a catalyst that has different hydrocracking properties. A first catalyst bed preferably cracks heavy oil more aggressively than the catalyst in the second bed. The catalytic hydrocracker includes further two recycle lines such that one directs unconverted oil through both hydrocracker beds and a bypass inlet is positioned between the first and second catalyst beds to admit unconverted oil to pass only through the second less aggressive hydrocracker catalyst bed. When gasoline prices favor the production of gasoline, less unconverted oil is recycled through the bypass therefore making more gasoline, but when prices favor the production of j et and diesel, more recycle is directed through the bypass recycle thus making less gasoline and more diesel and jet fuel.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2019Date of Patent: June 1, 2021Assignee: Phillips 66 CompanyInventor: Xiangxin Yang
