  • Patent number: 8915992
    Abstract: A system for providing a high purity acetylene comprising 100 ppm or less solvent to a point of use comprising a storage vessel that houses an acetylene feed steam comprising acetylene and solvent; a cooling system that maintains the storage vessel and provides the acetylene feed stream at a temperature ranging from 20° C. to ?50° C.; and a purifier in fluid communication with the storage vessel wherein the acetylene feed stream is introduced into the purifier at a temperature ranging from ?50° C. to 30° C. to remove at least a portion of the solvent contained therein and provide the high purity acetylene.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 27, 2012
    Date of Patent: December 23, 2014
    Assignee: Air Products and Chemicals, Inc.
    Inventors: Timothy John Maykut, Suhas Narayan Ketkar, Benjamin James Arthur Inman, John Irven, Eugene Joseph Karwacki, Jr., Neil Alexander Downie

  • Patent number: 8129577
    Abstract: A system and a process for providing acetylene, preferably at a high purity level (e.g., comprising 100 parts per million (“ppm”), or 10 ppm, or 1 ppm, or 100 parts per billion (“ppb”), or 10 ppb, or 1 ppb or less of solvent), to a point of use, such as a semiconductor manufacturing process, is described herein. In one aspect, there is provided a process for providing a process for providing a high purity acetylene comprising 100 ppm or less solvent to a point of use comprising: providing an acetylene feed stream comprising acetylene and solvent at a temperature ranging from 20° C. to ?50° C.; and introducing the acetylene feed stream to a purifier at a temperature ranging from ?50° C. to 30° C. to remove at least a portion of the solvent contained therein and provide the high purity acetylene.
