  • Patent number: 11773038
    Abstract: A method for operating an acetylene hydrogenation unit in an integrated steam cracking-fluidized catalytic dehydrogenation (FCDh) system may include separating a cracked gas from a steam cracking system and an FCDh effluent from an FCDh system into a hydrogenation feed and an acetylene-depleted stream, the hydrogenation feed comprising at least hydrogen, CO, and acetylene. During normal operating conditions, at least 20% of the CO in the hydrogenation feed is from the cracked gas. The method may include contacting the hydrogenation feed with an acetylene hydrogenation catalyst to hydrogenate at least a portion of the acetylene in the hydrogenation feed to produce a hydrogenated effluent. The steam cracking is operated under conditions that increase CO production such that a concentration of CO in the cracked gas is great enough that when a flowrate of the FCDh effluent is zero, a CO concentration in the hydrogenation feed is at least 100 ppmv.

  • Patent number: 11769063
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system and computer program product for providing predictions tailored for a specific domain. Each field within a set of datasets is classified with a concept defined in a domain specific ontology. After receiving a target field and identifying a target concept tagged to the target field, concepts that have an influential impact directly to the target concept or indirectly to a concept tagged to a field associated with the target field are identified. Fields are then identified as candidates for predictors from the identified concepts using a semantic relationship and a numeric association combined approach. An influential confidence score and a numeric analytics score are then calculated for each of these candidates upon which a final confidence score is computed. The identified candidates are ranked based on the final confidence scores, and the top ranked candidates for predictors are selected to build a statistical model.

  • Patent number: 11731924
    Abstract: A method for operating an acetylene hydrogenation unit of a steam cracking system that integrates a fluidized catalytic dehydrogenation (FCDh) effluent from a fluidized catalytic dehydrogenation (FCDh) system may include separating a cracked gas from the steam cracking system into at least a hydrogenation feed comprising at least acetylene, CO, and hydrogen, introducing the FCDh effluent to the separation system, combining the FCDh effluent with the cracked gas upstream of the separation system, or both. The method may include hydrogenating acetylene in the hydrogenation feed. Elevated CO concentration in the hydrogenation feed due to the FCDh effluent may reduce a reaction rate of acetylene hydrogenation. The acetylene hydrogenation unit may operate at an elevated temperature relative to normal operating temperatures when the portion of the FCDh effluent is not integrated, such that a concentration of acetylene in the hydrogenated effluent is less than a threshold acetylene concentration.

  • Publication number: 20220335357
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, a computer program product, and a computer system for identifying an influencer combination having a root cause to a key performance indicator change. The computer system analyzes metadata to discover semantic information for each column of data, identifies candidate factors that categorize a target performance indicators (KPI), groups the candidate factors into groups based on hierarchies which are included in the semantic information. For respective ones of the hierarchies, the computer system chooses most influential levels as influencer candidates. The computer system creates a stratified sample based on a distribution of target KPI values and evaluates an influential strength to the target KPI. The computer system identifies top influencers in the influencer candidates, based on influential strengths of respective ones of the influencer candidates.
