Patent number: 10519385Abstract: Spent zeolite equilibrium catalyst from the fluidized catalytic cracker has a useful function as an adsorbent for jet fuel. Redirecting such spent catalyst saves costs for refinery operations in two ways. The first is by avoiding the costs for disposing of such catalyst as hazardous waste. The second is to reduce the cost of procuring sorbent for the jet fuel decontamination process. Since zeolite is primarily silica and conventional sorbents are also silica, zeolite catalysts are chemically similar. And the equilibrium catalyst may be regenerated in the FCC after its becomes saturated with jet fuel contaminants and re-used.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2018Date of Patent: December 31, 2019Assignee: Phillips 66 CompanyInventors: John B. Green, Cory B. Phillips, Laura Lee Young, Swati Thakur, Leonard Nyadong

Patent number: 9447344Abstract: The invention relates to a process to manufacture advanced cellulosic gasolines. Dilute organic acids derived from pyrolized biomass are converted to their corresponding alcohols in a stand-alone hydrodeoxygenation unit followed by membrane pervaporation step to remove water. The alcohol product is blended directly into a neat hydrocarbon fuel basestock to make unadditized gasoline.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2015Date of Patent: September 20, 2016Assignee: PHILLIPS 66 COMPANYInventors: Sumod Kalakkunnath, Matthew J. Truitt, Jaehoon Bae, Cory B. Phillips

Patent number: 9181506Abstract: Carbohydrates as derived from plant biomass can be converted into mono-alcohols, diols, and/or bi-functional alcohols or into carboxylic acid derivatives. By catalytic transesterification of such carbohydrate derivatives, ester-type diesel-fuel blendstock components may be produced. More specifically, alkyl levulinates are catalytically trans-esterified with hydroxyl-functionalized compounds where both the alcohols and the alkyl levulinates are derived from biomass carbohydrates. Esters produced in this way show physicochemical characteristics that make them suitable for use as diesel fuel blendstock.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2014Date of Patent: November 10, 2015Assignee: PHILLIPS 66 COMPANYInventors: Edgar Lotero, Kristi A. Fjare, Cory B. Phillips, Alexandru Platon

Patent number: 9091158Abstract: Methods and apparatus relate to treating hydrocarbons recovered with steam condensate from a formation. The treating removes particulates from the hydrocarbons by addition of a flocculant to produced fluids containing the hydrocarbons and an aqueous phase with the condensate. The flocculant causes the particulates suspended in the hydrocarbons to agglomerate and be transferred to the aqueous phase, which is then separated from the hydrocarbons.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2011Date of Patent: July 28, 2015Assignee: ConocoPhillips CompanyInventors: Chris R. Copeland, Cory B. Phillips, Roland Schmidt

Publication number: 20130014431Abstract: A fuel composition and the process of making the fuel composition are described. More specifically, a novel biomass derived low sulfur bunker fuels composition and the method of making thereof. Embodiment of the invention discloses a novel low sulfur bunker fuels composition derived from blending various bio-oil with other heavy residual fuel oils and distillates where final sulfur content and carbon intensity is controlled by the ratio of bio-oil to other heavy residual fuel oils and distillates. Embodiment of the invention also discloses a process of making a novel biomass derived low sulfur bunker fuels by blending various bio-oil with other heavy residual fuel oils and distillates.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 21, 2012Publication date: January 17, 2013Applicant: PHILLIPS 66 COMPANYInventors: Hong Jin, Cory B.
