  • Publication number: 20230402636
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to a carbon-neutral process for the generation of carbon-neutral hydrogen and carbon-neutral electricity. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to compositions, methods and apparatus employing a carbon-neutral process for generating electricity employing a liquid organic hydrogen carrier (LOHC) for supplying hydrogen for generating the carbon neutral electricity. The present disclosure also relates more specifically to carbon-neutral compositions consisting of liquid organic hydrogen carriers used for supplying hydrogen to generate electricity that may be regenerated in a carbon-neutral process using an apparatus with a net zero atmospheric emission of carbon oxides.

  • Patent number: 4414100
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to fluidized catalytic cracking. More particularly, the present invention relates to a baffle arrangement that improves separation of gaseous hydrocarbon reaction products from catalyst within the reactor vessel of a fluidized catalytic cracker unit. The catalytic reactor vessel includes an outer generally cylindrical shell having a stripping zone arranged at the lower end of the vessel. An inlet riser conduit forming a primary reaction zone extends generally external to and generally parallel with the shell to a location near the top of the vessel. The upper end of the riser conduit then turns through 180.degree., preferably through two right angle turns of 90.degree. each, so that the riser conduit enters the vessel either on a horizontal run into the side of the vessel and then turns downwardly, or on a downward run through the top of vessel, into the center of the vessel to form an outlet, discharging downwardly the mixture of hydrocarbon and catalyst.
