Henry SATERNUS 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: 10376873
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to supported multi-metallic catalysts for use in the hydrotreating of hydrocarbon feeds, as well as a method for preparing such catalysts. The catalysts are prepared from a catalyst precursor comprised of at least one Group VIB metal, at least one Group VIII metal and an organic acid. The catalyst precursor is thermally treated to partially decompose the organic acid, then sulfided. The catalysts have a high carbon-as-carboxyl to total carbon ratio (Ccarboxy/Ctotal) as a result of a unique post-metal calcination method employed during the manufacture of the catalyst.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 24, 2014
    Date of Patent: August 13, 2019
    Assignee: Advanced Refining Technologies LLC
    Inventors: Xianghua Yu, Shuguang Zhang, Gill M. Malick, Bruno Nesci, Henry Saternus, Jifei Jia, Cecelia Radlowski, Theodorus Ludovicus Michael Maesen, Colleen T. Miedona
  • Patent number: 10369558

The catalysts are prepared from a catalyst precursor comprised of at least one Group VIB metal, at least one Group VIII metal and an organic acid. The catalyst precursor is thermally treated to partially decompose the organic acid, then sulfided. The catalysts have a high carbon-as-carboxyl to total carbon ratio (Ccarboxy/Ctotal) as a result of a unique post-metal calcination method employed during the manufacture of the catalyst. As a result, the hydrotreating catalysts have lower percent weight loss-on-ignition, higher activity and longer catalyst life.
