  • Patent number: 10758881
    Abstract: A method for processing an oligomerization product stream includes discharging the oligomerization product stream from an oligomerization reactor through a product outlet line, and heating the oligomerization product stream, heating a wall of the product outlet line, or both. The oligomerization product stream includes solvent, linear alpha olefins, a polymer byproduct, or a combination of at least one of the foregoing. The heating is to a temperature that is greater than the melting temperature of the polymer byproduct present in the oligomerization product stream.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 17, 2017
    Date of Patent: September 1, 2020
    Assignees: SABIC GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES B.V., LINDE AG

  • Patent number: 10407359
    Abstract: A process for deactivation of an olefin oligomerization catalyst is described, including contacting a catalyst composition with a catalyst quenching medium to form a deactivated catalyst composition, and recovering excess catalyst quenching medium. The catalyst quenching medium includes an alcohol having at least 6 carbon atoms, an organic amine, an amino alcohol, or a combination comprising at least one of the foregoing. The catalyst quenching medium is present in a molar ratio of catalyst quenching medium to catalyst of at least 3:1. A process for the oligomerization of an olefin is also described, including feeding the olefin, a solvent, and a catalyst composition into a reactor, oligomerizing the olefin in the reactor to form a reaction product stream including linear alpha olefins, solvent, and the catalyst composition, and contacting the reaction product stream with a catalyst quenching medium.

  • Publication number: 20150363715
    Abstract: A device and method for automatically generating a production data set for an order to be printed in a printing facility is disclosed. Job data of an order to be printed and production possibilities of at least one processing device of the printing facility are received at an imposition module. The production data set for the order to be printed is automatically generated by the imposition module based on the job data and the production possibilities.

  • Patent number: 8561537
    Abstract: At least one mark is integrated into an image data set from a prepress stage, and the mark is scanned in order to automatically determine a region or an extract of the image data set which is relevant to the determination of zonal area coverage values. Zonal area coverage values for a print are determined from the region or extract, and presetting values for the inking zone setting elements are determined from the zonal area coverage values.
