  • Process for managing sulfur on catalyst in a light paraffin dehydrogenation process
    Patent number: 10814315
    Abstract: A process is presented for the management of sulfur on a catalyst. The catalyst is a dehydrogenation catalyst, and sulfur accumulates during the dehydrogenation process. Sulfur compounds are stripped from the spent catalyst and the catalyst is cooled before the regeneration process. The process includes controlling the amount of sulfur that needs to be removed from the catalyst before regeneration.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 20, 2017
    Date of Patent: October 27, 2020
    Assignee: UOP LLC
    Inventors: Wolfgang A. Spieker, Adam D. Ballard, Gregory J. Gajda, J. W. Adriaan Sachtler
