Publication number: 20240109773Abstract: Methods, devices, and systems are described for a reactor for converting dimethyl ether to hydrogen. The reactor includes an outer tube configured to contain heat. The reactor includes an inner tube nested inside the outer tube, the inner tube configured to conduct the heat contained by the outer tube. The inner tube forms a reaction chamber between the first end and the second end of the plurality of inner tube. The reactor includes a feed line coupled to the end of the plurality of inner tube. The feed line may be configured to pass dimethyl ether and steam to the inner tube. The reactor includes a reactor outlet configured to collect hydrogen from the inner tube and output the hydrogen.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 9, 2022Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventor: Bipinkumar Patel

Publication number: 20210024438Abstract: The present disclosure provides oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) systems for small scale and world scale production of olefins. An OCM system may comprise an OCM subsystem that generates a product stream comprising C2+ compounds and non-C2+ impurities from methane and an oxidizing agent. At least one separations subsystem downstream of, and fluidically coupled to, the OCM subsystem can be used to separate the non-C2+ impurities from the C2+ compounds. A methanation subsystem downstream and fluidically coupled to the OCM subsystem can be used to react H2 with CO and/or CO2 in the non-C2+ impurities to generate methane, which can be recycled to the OCM subsystem. The OCM system can be integrated in a non-OCM system, such as a natural gas liquids system or an existing ethylene cracker.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2020Publication date: January 28, 2021Inventors: Guido Radaelli, Humera A.
