Patent number: 8188327Abstract: This invention covers a process for dimerizing of isobutylene to Iso-octene and unique configuration is being disclosed, where the Feed is diluted to low level with recycle which has essentially no Iso-octene, dual catalyst system, new selectivator (IPA) and successive catalyst stages if needed to enhance the conversion. The process is very selective and provides higher isobutylene conversion. Additionally the invention also covers the hydrogenation of olefins to Paraffin, Iso-octene to Iso-octane product under moderate conditions and with dual or single catalyst system.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2010Date of Patent: May 29, 2012Inventor: Amarjit S.

Patent number: 7989646Abstract: This invention covers a process for making biodiesel from vegetable oils and animal fat with a simple hetrogeneous catalyst providing high yield and reaction rates under moderate conditions. The process is designed so as to enhance the yield by pretreatment step of esterification if required. The process provides gravity separation and any pretreatment/distillation/stripping, if needed before sending Biodiesel and glycerine to storage. The process provides heterogeneous catalysts so as to reduce the waste from the system and also it reduces the utilities and chemical cost. The process is optimized, simple in operation, economical, providing best yields compared to any processes in the market.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2006Date of Patent: August 2, 2011Inventor: Amarjit S.

Patent number: 7652187Abstract: A process for the sulfuric acid catalyzed alkylation of C3-C5 olefins with isobutane is disclosed wherein the requisite mixing is accomplished by the use of eductors within the reactor. In addition the alkylate product is subjected to primary and secondary coalescers for removal of entrained sulfuric acid. The vaporized unreacted C4's are recovered as liquid by absorption and desorption in an absorber oil.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2009Date of Patent: January 26, 2010Inventor: Amarjit S. Bakshi

Patent number: 7273957Abstract: A process for the production of gasoline stocks wherein lower molecular weight olefins are first oligomerized and the oligomers then hydrogenated. In the first instance the oligomerization is carried out in a single pass fixed bed boiling point reactor. The oligomers are then hydrogenated in a distillation column reactor.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2004Date of Patent: September 25, 2007Assignee: Catalytic Distillation TechnologiesInventors: Amarjit S. Bakshi, Mitchell E. Loescher, Nishit Sahay

Patent number: 7261809Abstract: A process for removing organic sulfur compounds from heavy boiling range naphtha in a dual purpose reactor wherein the heavy boiling range naphtha is fed downflow over a fixed bed of hydrodesulfurization zone and then treated with hydrogen in a hydrodesulfurization catalytic distillation zone. Vapor containing hydrogen sulfide is removed between the zones. Preferably the heavy boiling range naphtha is produced by treating a full boiling range naphtha to concurrently react diolefins and mercaptans and split the light and heavy boiling range naphtha in a distillation column reactor.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2002Date of Patent: August 28, 2007Assignee: Catalytic Distillation TechnologiesInventor: Amarjit S.

Publication number: 20020182291Abstract: A sweet microwave popcorn product is provided that can be prepared by the consumer in a single step. The product comprises a microwaveable container; a plurality of unpopped corn kernels in the container; and a plurality of sugar pellets in the container. Each sugar pellet comprises sugar in an amount of at least about 15% by weight, based on the total weight of the sugar pellet. The sugar pellets are substantially free of an emulsifying agent.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 20, 2001Publication date: December 5, 2002Inventors: Lis K. Renini, Amarjit S. Bakshi, Caroline Ponting

Patent number: 6335473Abstract: A process for oligomerization of C4 and C5 isoolefins or the etherification thereof with C1 to C6 alcohols wherein the reactants are contacted first in a partial liquid phase reactor (boiling point reactor) with a fixed bed acid cation exchange resin catalyst at an LHSV of 5 to 20, pressure of 0 to 400 psig and temperature of 120 to 300° F., at a pressure to maintain the reaction mixture at its boiling point whereby at least a portion but less than all of the reaction mixture is vaporized and the entire reaction stream is directed to a catalytic distillation column reactor for further reaction of the reactants, where the improvement is having a decoupling drum between the boiling point reactor and the catalytic distillation column reactor. The addition of a decoupler drum allows the reactors to operate at a pressure independent of each other.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2000Date of Patent: January 1, 2002Assignee: Catalytic Distillation TechnologiesInventors: Amarjit S. Bakshi, Timothy P. McGuirk, J. C. Gupta, Thomas Koval

Patent number: 6039999Abstract: Disclosed is a reduced fat peanut butter product containing from about 30% to about 75% of a nut paste, from about 15% to about 45% of at least one water-soluble non-fat dry solid, from about 0% to about 10% added edible oil, from about 0% to about 30% of a water-insoluble non-fat dry solid and from about 0% to about 3% emulsifier. The reduced fat peanut butter is prepared by combining all the ingredients, then, intimately mixing the resulting combination by passing the combination through an extruder mixer. The mixture is then milled and homogenized under a pressure of from about 4,000 psig to about 14,000 psig.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 1995Date of Patent: March 21, 2000Assignee: Hunt Wesson, Inc.Inventors: Amarjit S.

Patent number: 5342636Abstract: A process for reducing the oil binding capacity of a solid fibrous bulking agent is described in which a modified bulking agent is produced for use in making reduced calorie food products. The bulking agent is combined with an additive (e.g. sugar, protein or combination thereof) in water to form a mixture. The mixture is agitated to form a slurry thereby coating the bulking agent with the additive, and the slurry is dried. The resulting bulking agent has a reduced oil binding capacity so that the bulking agent may be used on food products containing natural oils or fats to reduce the calories per unit weight without adversely affecting the texture of the food product.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 1992Date of Patent: August 30, 1994Inventors: Amarjit S.
