Michael W. Bedell 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).

  • Patent number: 7569198
    Abstract: The removal of particulates and acidic gases from the effluent from a fluid catalytic cracking process regenerator. The effluent is treated in two contacting stages with an effective amount of both a caustic solution as well as ammonia and the composition of the contacting solutions in the two stages is independently controlled.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 24, 2007
    Date of Patent: August 4, 2009
    Assignee: ExxonMobil Research & Engineering Company
    Inventors: Michael W. Bedell, Patrick J. Maher

  • Patent number: 6258257
    Abstract: A process for producing polymers from olefins selectively produced by a two stage process for selectively producing C2 to C4 olefins from a gas oil or resid is disclosed herein. The gas oil or resid is reacted in a first stage comprising a fluid catalytic cracking unit wherein it is converted in the presence of conventional large pore zeolitic catalyst to reaction products, including a naphtha boiling range stream. The naphtha boiling range stream is introduced into a second stage comprising a process unit containing a reaction zone, a stripping zone, a catalyst regeneration zone, and a fractionation zone. The naphtha feed is contacted in the reaction zone with a catalyst containing from about 10 to 50 wt. % of a crystalline zeolite having an average pore diameter less than about 0.7 nanometers at reaction conditions which include temperatures ranging from about 500 to 650° C. and a hydrocarbon partial pressure from about 10 to 40 psia.

  • Patent number: 6106697
    Abstract: C.sub.2 to C.sub.4 olefins are selectively produced from a gas oil or resid in a two stage process. The gas oil or resid is reacted in a first stage comprised of a fluid catalytic cracking unit wherein it is converted in the presence of conventional large pore zeolitic catalyst to reaction products, including a naphtha boiling range stream. The naphtha boiling range stream is introduced into a second stage comprised of a process unit containing a reaction zone, a stripping zone, a catalyst regeneration zone, and a fractionation zone.
