Abstract: A system for processing a selected feedstock using a catalyst includes a reactor, a catalyst recovery system, and a conduit. The reactor receives the catalyst and the selected feedstock. A reaction between the selected feedstock and the catalyst generates a spent catalyst. The catalyst recovery system processes the spent catalyst. The conduit connects the reactor to the catalyst recovery system and has a lateral section. The spent catalyst flows from the reactor through a flow space defined by an inner wall of the lateral section to the catalyst recovery system. The system also includes a fluidizer positioned at the lateral section. The fluidizer includes at least one nozzle. The at least one nozzle is completely inside the flow space. The at least one nozzle forms and directs a jet of a fluidizing agent into the spent catalyst in the lateral section.

Abstract: A reactor system and method for catalytic dehydrogenation of saturated C3-C6 hydrocarbons within a reactor placed within a reactor disengager, where the reactor is open at the bottom thereof and open to the disengager, and the exit riser from the reactor is not hard coupled to at least one downstream cyclone. This configuration permits controlling the amount of catalyst within the reactor by varying the level of catalyst in the reactor disengager outside the reactor and permits controlling total catalyst hold-up and/or weight hourly space velocity (WHSV) independently from catalyst flow from the catalyst regenerator.

Abstract: A system for handling object pallets in a storage facility is provided. The system includes a plurality of pallet pick-put (PPP) stations, a plurality of movable pallet units (MPUs), a material handling equipment (MHE), and a control server. The control server receives a first request for storing a first object pallet in the storage facility, and selects a first PPP station from the plurality of PPP stations for temporarily placing the first object pallet. The control server identifies a first MPU of the plurality of MPUs for storing the first object pallet, and communicates a placement instruction to an instruction device of the MHE for placing the first object pallet in the first MPU. Based on the placement instruction, the first object pallet is placed in the first MPU by the MHE, when the first MPU reaches a first location of the first PPP station.
