Patent number: 10737989Abstract: The present invention relates to the integration of an alkylation unit for use in a hydrocarbon conversion process. More specifically, the present invention relates to the integration of a dehydrogenation unit and an alkylation unit and the placement of different isomerization units located off the deisobutanizer and the debutanizer.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2019Date of Patent: August 11, 2020Assignee: UOP LLCInventors: Charles P. Luebke, Raul Zavala, Christopher D. DiGiulio

Patent number: 10584081Abstract: A process is presented for the recovery of solvent used in an alkylation process. The solvent removes heavy hydrocarbons from a C4 stream. The C4 stream is passed to an alkylation unit to generate an alkylate product. A portion of the solvent is carried over with the C4 stream and needs to be recovered to reduce the aromatics content in the C4 stream, to reduce any deleterious effects of the aromatics in downstream processing.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2017Date of Patent: March 10, 2020Assignee: UOP LLCInventors: Raul Zavala, Charles P. Luebke, Adam J. Kanyuh

Patent number: 9724853Abstract: This invention aims to provide a novel material to be used for the production of components used in the construction industry such as construction blocks, wall panels, floor and roof tiles, lintels and any other product that could use this novel material. The novel material is a paper concrete made with 50% to 90% of recycled paper in the base mixture. This invention also aims to provide a novel process for making a construction block with the base mixture of paper concrete. The process for making the lightweight building blocks with this paper concrete has three main steps with two stages each. The base mixture for the paper concrete is essentially interlinked with the process for making this construction block. The two first steps of the process are crucial to achieve the base mixture and the following step is crucial to achieve a construction block.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 2013Date of Patent: August 8, 2017Assignee: Econovate Ltd.Inventor: Jose Raul Zavala

Patent number: 9670421Abstract: An apparatus and process is disclosed for mitigating coking in an FCC reactor plenum. The apparatus and process utilize a baffle to create a inner volume for the product vapors to prevent contact with a relatively cool plenum. The baffle also limits the amount of the time the product vapors spend in the plenum minimizing time for coke formation and limit product vapors from entering low fluidization zones.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2014Date of Patent: June 6, 2017Assignee: UOP LLCInventors: Syed Basheer Umar, Raul Zavala, Paolo Palmas, Richard A. Johnson, II

Patent number: 7446194Abstract: A process for preparing penicillin G procaine comprises the steps of introducing inactive ingredients into a first mixing tank and sterilizing the mixture of inactive ingredients in the first mixing tank. A procaine hydrochloride is dissolved in a second mixing tank, and the contents of the second mixing tank are added to the first mixing tank through a sterile filter. A solution of penicillin G potassium is introduced to the first mixing tank through a sterile filter, and the contents of the first mixing tank are mixed so that the procaine hydrochloride reacts with the penicillin G potassium forming penicillin G procaine. The resulting suspension is transferred through a homogenizer to a holding tank and penicillin G procaine is filled into a container.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2005Date of Patent: November 4, 2008Assignee: Cross Vetpharm LimitedInventors: Reddy A.

Publication number: 20060278600Abstract: To accomplish the present invention essentially consists, in a cover provide with a form concave in the top of the cover and lines of depth or geometric forms similar to their design, and in their sides lashes of security curved and retractile; with two rings of security located in its base, to supplement container opens up easy and that it is typical to keep, to organize all type of products of consumptions and inputs; industrial, chemical and groceries. For their new system and its structures of their concave cover and base, it is a container opens up easy, ergonomic, economic, sure, practical, to maintain tightly sealed their content. In view of foregoing disadvantages inherent in the some types well known of covers, now the present invention provides one new and improved form of cover easy to open up, providing a better alternative to assure and to manage any products better.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 10, 2005Publication date: December 14, 2006Inventor: Raul Zavala
