Abstract: Process for removing acetone from a stream including acetone (A), methyl acetate (MA) and methyl iodide (MI), by (a) introducing the stream into a first distillation zone (FDZ); (b) introducing acetic acid (AA) into the FDZ, by adding AA to the stream or by introducing AA to the FDZ at or above the introduction point of the stream, or a combination thereof; (c) removing from the FDZ an overhead stream including MI and a bottoms stream containing A, MA, AA, and a reduced amount of MI; (d) introducing the bottoms stream into a second distillation zone (SDZ); (e) removing from the SDZ an overhead stream containing MA and MI and a bottoms stream containing A, MA and AA; (f) introducing the bottoms stream from (e) into a third distillation zone (TDZ); removing from the TDZ an overhead stream containing MA and A and a bottoms stream containing MA and AA.

Abstract: The invention provides systems and methods for control of power charge/discharge from energy storage system. The invention also provides for power monitoring and management. A smart charge system may include a system sensor, one or more energy storage units, and a controller, which may receive information about the power demand, power provided by an electricity provider, and charge/discharge information from an energy storage unit. The information received may all be time synchronized in relation to a time based reference. The controller may provide instructions to an energy storage unit at a rapid rate.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a separation process for removing acetone from a mixture comprising acetone, methyl acetate and methyl iodide, said process comprising the steps of: (a) introducing said stream comprising acetone, methyl acetate and methyl iodide into a first distillation zone; (b) introducing acetic acid into said first distillation zone, either by addition of acetic acid to said stream comprising acetone, methyl acetate and methyl iodide or by introduction of acetic acid directly to the first distillation zone at one or more points at or above the point of introduction of said stream comprising acetone, methyl acetate and methyl iodide into the first distillation zone in step (a), or a combination of both; (c) removing from the first distillation zone an overhead stream comprising methyl iodide and a bottoms stream comprising acetone, methyl acetate, acetic acid, and a reduced amount of methyl iodide; (d) introducing into a second distillation zone the bottoms stream from step (c); (e) remov

Abstract: Method and apparatus for producing a narrow fabric, such as for example curtain heading tapes and in which one weft is of relatively stiff form and a second weft has a high coefficient of friction relative to that of the stiff weft, and wherein the stiff weft is inserted only in curtain warp sheds and the second weft is inserted only in other warp sheds.
