  • Publication number: 20220403273
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are processes and systems for removing heavy C5+ hydrocarbon components from a natural gas feed gas by subjecting the natural gas feed gas stream to an adsorber. The adsorber in the processes and systems described herein operating at a pressure that may be associated with improved adsorption capacity and longer breakthrough time.

  • Publication number: 20070013144
    Abstract: Novel means for sealing reactors used in reaction processes are disclosed. A catalyst impregnated carrier material is provided in the gap between the monolith catalyst and the refractory lining of the reactor. The catalytic carriers are the same catalyst materials or have substantially similar catalytic activity as the catalytic monolith. Additionally, the catalytic material is applied as a thin catalytic film deposited on the refractory lining. These methods provide not only pressure drop to minimize reactant flow along the inner wall of refractory lining, but also additional active reaction zone. This sealing method is suitable for any types of reactions on catalytic monoliths, particularly syngas production by partial oxidation of methane to reduce methane and oxygen leakages.

  • Publication number: 20060204415
    Abstract: An improved process for the catalytic partial oxidation of hydrocarbons to produce hydrogen and carbon monoxide and less than ˜2% carbon dioxide is disclosed. The process further permits the reaction to be initiated at room temperature, and utilizes a metal catalyst deposited on a ceria-coated zirconia monolith support, which exhibits high conversions of hydrocarbons to synthesis gas (hydrogen and carbon monoxide).
