Patent number: 7677788Abstract: The aim of the invention is to improve an existing mixing device in such a manner that for a predetermined reactor length, retention time is increased and the material which is to be processed is transported at essentially the same speed irrespective of the radial distance thereof from the rotational axis. As a result, at least one row of blades is arranged on each shaft and each row of blades comprises at least two individual blades and the blades are fixed to the shaft at an incidence angle ? in relation to the longitudinal axis of the shaft. The blades are curved in themselves, such that the blades form an angle of incidence ? at the fixing point on the shaft and an angle of incidence ? on the outer diameter DA.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2004Date of Patent: March 16, 2010Assignee: Lurgi Lentjes AGInventors: Hans-Jürgen Weiss, Udo Zentner, Burghard Neumann, Jörg Schmalfeld

Patent number: 7507330Abstract: The invention relates to a method for a high temperature short-time distillation of residual oil. The method according to the invention is characterized by a technically simple recovery of a small residual fraction from a gas and/or oil vapour mixture produced by a mixing apparatus (1). Said small residual fraction contains large quantities of undesirable polluting catalytic substances (CCR, Ni, V, asphaltenes). For this purpose, the gas and/or oil vapour mixture produced by the mixing apparatus (1) is diluted with gas or water vapour in a column (17) at a temperature of 450° C. in such a way that a high boiling fraction, which has a high content of the pollutant substances and whose initial boiling point is higher than 450° C., is condensed and extracted.Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 2003Date of Patent: March 24, 2009Assignee: Lurgi Lentjes AGInventors: Hans-Jurgen Weiss, Udo Zentner, Helmut Heurich

Patent number: 6841064Abstract: Residual oil from the processing of crude oil, natural bitumen or oil sand is mixed in a mixer with granular, hot coke as heat carrier (heat carrier coke) in a weight ratio of 1:3 to 1:30, where on the granules of the heat carrier coke there is first of all formed a liquid residue film which partly evaporates in the mixer. Gases and vapors and moist, sticky coke are withdrawn from the mixer. The mixture of coke and residual oil is introduced into a subsequently connected stirred tank in which the mixture slowly moves downwards while being stirred mechanically at a temperature of 450 to 600° C. and preferably at 480 to 550° C. Dry, flowable coke is withdrawn from the stirred tank. Usually, the dwell time of the heat carrier coke in the stirred tank is 1 to 30 minutes.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2000Date of Patent: January 11, 2005Assignee: MG Technologies AGInventors: Hans-Jürgen Weiss, Ingo Dreher, Udo Zentner

Patent number: 6469203Abstract: The present invention relates to a process of recovering monomeric esters of substituted or unsubstituted acrylic acid from polymer material having corresponding structural units by depolymerization by means of a fine-grained heat-transfer medium which is maintained above the depolymerization temperature of the polymer material. In a reactor, the polymer material is brought in contact with hot, mechanically fluidized heat-transfer medium. The resulting vapors are withdrawn and condensed, where the hot heat-transfer medium is continuously supplied at one end of the reactor, and cooled heat-transfer medium is discharged at the other end.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2001Date of Patent: October 22, 2002Assignees: Metallgesellschaft Aktiengesellschaft, Rohm GmbH Chemische FabrikInventors: Hans-Jürgen Weiss, Jörg Schmalfeld, Udo Zentner, Tobias Groschang, Udo Gropp, Werner Fuss, Ralf Goedecke, Egbert Schöla

Patent number: 6413415Abstract: High temperature flash distillation, for treating residual oils originating from crude oil refining, natural bitumen and/or tar sands, comprises feeding the oil to a mixer with granular hot coke, which serves as a thermal transfer medium. In mixing, 60-90% of the oil is vaporized. The non-vaporized fraction includes metal-containing asphaltenes. This fraction is further converted in the mixer, to oil vapor, gas and coke. Gases and vapor are withdrawn from the mixer, separately from the coke. The vapor phase is cooled and condensed to produce product oil. The gas itself is a further product. The coke is reheated and recycled to the mixer as the thermal transfer medium.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 2000Date of Patent: July 2, 2002Assignee: Metallgesellschaft AktiengesellschaftInventors: Hans Jürgen Weiss, Jörg Schmalfeld, Udo Zentner, Ingo Dreher, Willibald Serrano

Patent number: 5998737Abstract: A clamping device, in particular a cable clamping device for telecommunications technology and data systems technology. The clamping device is of a generic type which ensures that objects having different diameters are clamped simply and reliably and without the risk of an impermissibly high degree of pinching of the object to be clamped. The clamping device includes a clamping member, which is formed from a basic body and at least one clamping arm and into which the object to be clamped is inserted. The clamping member is pushed into a sleeve having cutouts in which at least one of the clamping arms of the clamping member engages. By rotating the sleeve with respect to the fixed basic body at least one of the clamping arms reduces the clamping inside diameter of the clamping member.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 1997Date of Patent: December 7, 1999Assignee: Krone AktiengesellschaftInventors: Jurgen Weiss, David Patrick Murray

Patent number: 5904423Abstract: A stirring element (10), especially a gasing stirring element for stirring liquids and introducing a gas, preferably air, to the liquids. The stirring element has a hub (12) for attachment to a stirring shaft and a support disk (14) joined to the hub (12), a plurality of stirring blades (16) being attached to a peripheral edge of the support disk (14). To achieve a low output power coefficient, each stirring blade (16) is made of a wedge-shape that is directed in the direction of rotary motion of the stirring element (10). Preferably, radially inner end sections (22, 24) of two sides (18, 20) of the stirring blade (16) are angled relative to sides (18, 20) outwardly with reference to the direction of rotary motion of the stirring element (10). The stirring element (10) simplifies gas feed and prevents clogs. By providing the support disk (14) with a conical shape having a ring of teeth (26) on its outer edge, a uniform distribution and good dispersion of the gas bubbles is obtainable.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 1997Date of Patent: May 18, 1999Assignee: EKATO Ruhr-und Mischhtechnik GmbHInventors: Peter Forschner, Rainer Krebs, Hans-Jurgen Weiss
