Lakshmi P. Mokka 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).

  • Process for increasing the yield of an isomerization zone fractionation
    Patent number: 9302956
    Abstract: A process for increasing a yield of an isomerization zone by removing at least a portion of the C6 cyclic hydrocarbons from a stream prior to it being passed into the isomerization zone. Additionally, disproportionation reactions occur producing valuable C3 hydrocarbons and C4 hydrocarbons. Also, a higher ring opening conversion of C5 cyclic hydrocarbons is observed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 1, 2014
    Date of Patent: April 5, 2016
    Assignee: UOP LLC
    Inventors: Mark P. Lapinski, Matthew Lippmann, Gregory Funk, David James Shecterle, Lakshmi P. Mokka
  • Process for controlling the yield of an isomerization zone
    Patent number: 9302957
    Abstract: A process for controlling a yield of an isomerization zone. Prior to entering the isomerization zone, C6 cyclic hydrocarbons are removed from a feed stream. Disproportionation reaction selectivity is observed which produces valuable C3 hydrocarbons and C4 hydrocarbons. Also, a higher ring opening conversion of C5 cyclic hydrocarbons is observed. The disproportionation reactions and the ring opening reactions may be selectively controlled by adjusting an amount of C6 cyclic hydrocarbons passed into the isomerization zone.
