Patents by Inventor Faisal F. Al-Musa

Faisal F. Al-Musa has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9612635
    Abstract: Systems and program code for providing a combined synthesis of cost-effective heat and power (CHP) utility systems and the key process systems are provided. An exemplary system includes a CHP utility and process subsystems analysis and design program computer and program code for identifying the best key design and operating conditions for both subsystems stored in the memory of the computer. The program code, when executed, can cause the computer to perform operations including determining an optimal allocation of steam and power between both process and utility systems for one or more industrial process facilities in both partially and totally decentralized environments.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 1, 2013
    Date of Patent: April 4, 2017
    Assignee: Saudi Arabian Oil Company
    Inventors: Mahmoud Bahy Noureldin, Mana M. Al-Owaidh, Abdulaziz Al-Nutaifi, Faisal F. Al-Musa
  • Patent number: 9606594
    Abstract: Methods of providing a combined synthesis of cost-effective heat and power (CHP) utility systems and the key process systems are provided. An exemplary method includes process steps for identifying the best key subsystem design and operating conditions for both the process and the utility systems. The method can include the step of determining an optimal allocation of steam and power between both process and utility systems for one or more industrial process facilities in both partially and totally decentralized environments. This can include defining rigorously bounded decision variables as model input data, processing the model input data by a combined heat and power utility and process subsystem mathematical program model, and determining a plurality of at least substantially optimal process and utility subsystem conditions.
