  • Self-supporting structures having active materials
    Patent number: 11707729
    Abstract: A method and system for manufacturing and using a self-supporting structure in processing unit for adsorption or catalytic processes. The self-supporting structure has greater than 50% by weight of the active material in the self-supporting structure to provide an open-celled structure providing access to the active material. The self-supporting structures, which may be disposed in a processing unit, may be used in swing adsorption processes and other processes to enhance the recovery of hydrocarbons.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 5, 2020
    Date of Patent: July 25, 2023
    Assignee: ExxonMobil Technology and Engineering Company
    Inventors: John F. Brody, Bradley Wooler, Francesco J. Altera, Paul J. Tindall, Yi Du
