Paul Francis Valerio 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 producing hydrogen cyanide
    Patent number: 7063827
    Abstract: A conical reactor head for use in chemical processes or other systems is provided. The reactor head includes a robust internal insulator to boost efficiency while maintaining safety by allowing the reactor head to self-radiate at high temperatures. The reactor head also includes a plurality of support lugs to protect its bottom flange from scratches or other damage when the reactor head is set on the ground. The reactor head is adapted to connect to a catalyst-containing barrel which is specially designed to facilitate easy installation and removal of catalysts or other equipment from outside the barrel. The reactor may be coupled with a rotation vane to induce laminar flow at the inlet of the reactor to increase reactor efficiency and prolong catalyst life.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 2, 2003
    Date of Patent: June 20, 2006
    Assignee: Rohm and Haas Company
    Inventors: David Mark Bergeron, Michael Stanley DeCourcy, Aaron Angel Quintanilla, Paul Francis Valerio, James Woodrow Vinson, Jr., David Alec Williams
  • Apparatus with improved safety features for high temperature industrial processes
