Patent number: 8569555Abstract: A hydrocarbon aromatization process comprising adding a nitrogenate, an oxygenate, or both to a hydrocarbon stream to produce an enhanced hydrocarbon stream, and contacting the enhanced hydrocarbon stream with an aromatization catalyst, thereby producing an aromatization reactor effluent comprising aromatic hydrocarbons, wherein the catalyst comprises a non-acidic zeolite support, a group VIII metal, and one or more halides. Also disclosed is a hydrocarbon aromatization process comprising monitoring the presence of an oxygenate, a nitrogenate, or both in an aromatization reactor, monitoring at least one process parameter that indicates the activity of the aromatization catalyst, modifying the amount of the oxygenate, the nitrogenate, or both in the aromatization reactor, thereby affecting the parameter.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2011Date of Patent: October 29, 2013Assignee: Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LPInventors: Christopher D. Blessing, Scott H. Brown, Tin-Tack Peter Cheung, David J. Glova, Daniel M. Hasenberg, Dennis L. Holtermann, Gyanesh P. Khare, Daniel B. Knorr, Jr.

Patent number: 8119203Abstract: A method of treating a substrate by applying a layer of at least one metal to the substrate to form an applied metal layer on the substrate and followed by curing of the applied metal layer at sub-atmospheric pressure to form a metal protective layer. A method of treating a substrate by applying a layer of at least one metal to a substrate of an unassembled component of a reactor system to form an applied metal layer on the substrate of the unassembled component and curing the applied metal layer on the substrate of the unassembled component to form a metal protective layer. A method of treating a substrate by applying a layer of at least one metal to the substrate to form an applied metal layer, curing the applied metal layer at a first temperature and pressure for a first period of time, and curing the applied metal layer at a second temperature and pressure for a second period of time, wherein the curing forms a metal protective layer.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2006Date of Patent: February 21, 2012Assignee: Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LPInventors: Robert L.
