  • Patent number: 12146106
    Abstract: Processes for using pyrolysis gas as a feedstock or a co-feedstock for making a variety of chemicals, for example, circular ethylene, circular ethylene polymers and copolymers, and other circular products. In these processes, pyrolysis reactor conditions can be selected to increase or optimized the production of pyrolysis gas over pyrolysis oil, and the pyrolysis gas which is usually used as fuel or flared can be fed downstream of the steam cracker furnace for economic use to form circular chemicals. Operating parameters of the pyrolysis unit may be adjusted to increase or decrease the proportion of pyrolysis gas relative to pyrolysis liquid as a function of their relative economic values.

  • Patent number: 12146447
    Abstract: Systems and methods for improving engine low load performance are provided. The method may comprise performing a negative valve overlap (NVO) mode of operation, using an early exhaust valve closing (EVC) timing that is earlier than the intake valve opening timing and creates an NVO during a gas exchange top dead center, to compress in-cylinder gas and increase overall gas temperature for improved fuel vaporization, mixing, and reforming before the fuel-air mixture is burnt. With NVO operation, a low temperature combustion (LTC) mode may be used to improve engine combustion efficiency and reduce emissions. With the NVO operation at low loads, the engine intake may be wide open or less throttled, reducing pumping loss. A method based on a rate of change in the engine speed and load for the combustion mode transition between spark ignition (SI) and LTC modes is provided.
