  • Patent number: 8598396
    Abstract: Olefin feeds with high olefin content and/or containing a substance that generates water when contacting the catalyst, are oligomerised over solid phosphoric acid catalyst in tubular reactors by introducing the olefin feed into the reactor and maintaining the reacting mixture under conditions whereby the peak temperature is controlled to be below 265° C. and preferably a single liquid or dense phase is maintained and the average temperature throughout the reactor is maintained in the range 190° C. to 260° C.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5323307
    Abstract: An automation and energy management system includes an automation panel box which may be positioned adjacent to a circuit breaker panel box. The automation panel box includes one or more circuit breaker control modules, one or more device control modules and a power module for providing power to the control modules. The circuit breaker control module provides signals to operate motorized circuit breakers, so as to turn on or off the power to a device being managed and the device control module provides signals to control individual appliances. Each of the two control modules is capable of controlling up to eight different circuit breakers or eight different individual devices and each includes a manual override button for each breaker or device controlled, which override button can be manually pressed by a person desiring to override the automation and energy management control.

  • Patent number: 5184278
    Abstract: A modular energy management circuit breaker (EMCB) system is adapted for installation with existing panelboards. It comprises a bus way that includes a connector that is coupled to an interface module connector. The interface module, which extends across the panelboard, makes connection with the power bus and is connected to the panelboard by snap-in means. A control module is adapted to interengage with another connector in the interface module and to control a plurality of EMCBs. A bus way includes a plurality of connectors adjacent a plurality of circuit breaker positions which are connected to suitable circuits in the control module for controlling the drivers for the EMCBs. A terminal box is formed at the end of the control module and has provision for connecting a plurality of control wires to suitable terminating devices for interfacing external controlling devices to the control module.
