Patent number: 11919840Abstract: Control methods are disclosed for continuous, unmodulated, multiple catalytic conversion step processes using at least two catalysts, a first catalyst and a second catalyst, that accommodate changes in the performance of each catalyst and the relative performances of the catalysts. In the methods, certain process parameters are used in a manner that is indicative of changes in catalyst performance, and the control methods provide for adjustment of at least one of: the absolute amount of catalytically active species and relative amounts of each of the first catalyst and second catalyst and at least one of the rate of feed or concentration of the raw material to the reaction zone.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2020Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: T.EN Process Technology, Inc.Inventors: Ray Chrisman, Donald Bunning, Mark Nunley, Brooke Albin, Michael Bradford, David James Schreck, Louis A.

Patent number: 10436748Abstract: This disclosure describes methods, apparatuses, and systems to determine the presence of a chemical substance in an environment, by detecting one or more chemical substances in the environment by using at least one sensor that performs one or more electrochemical tests on one or more chemical samples in the environment, and generates one or more electrical signals corresponding to the chemical samples in the environment. The methods, apparatuses, and systems may also receive and process the one or more electrical signals corresponding to the one or more samples from the environment, wherein the methods, apparatuses, and systems compare the electrical signals to electrical signals corresponding to profiles of known chemical substances in the environment to determine if a match exists. The methods, apparatuses, and systems may compare the electrical signals to baseline threshold values of known chemical substances in the environment to determine if there is an excess or lack of the chemical substance.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2016Date of Patent: October 8, 2019Assignee: POCKET LABORATORIES, LLCInventors: Sean Conte, Christopher Anthony Cassano, Michael Albin Grisanti, Corey Letcher
