  • Solid catalyst alkylation process
    Patent number: 5895831
    Abstract: A process for the production of motor fuel alkylate by reacting an alkene hydrocarbon, an alkane hydrocarbon and a hydrogen halide with a solid alkylation catalyst disposed in swing beds. The spent solid alkylation catalyst is regenerated in a highly integrated flow scheme associated with the alkylate recovery.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 4, 1996
    Date of Patent: April 20, 1999
    Assignee: UOP LLC
    Inventors: Robert S. Brasier, Paul A. Sechrist, Dale J. Shields
  • Process for the treatment of halogenated organic feedstocks
    Patent number: 5723706
    Abstract: A process for the conversion of a halogenated organic feedstock to produce a stream of hydrocarbonaceous compounds having an exceedingly low concentration of halogenated organic compounds and an aqueous stream containing hydrogen halide.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 30, 1996
    Date of Patent: March 3, 1998
    Assignee: UOP
    Inventors: Robert S. Brasier, Robert B. James, Jr.
  • Process for the treatment of halogenated organic feedstocks
    Patent number: 5401894
    Abstract: A process for the conversion of a halogenated organic feedstock to produce a stream of hydrocarbonaceous compounds having an exceedingly low concentration of halogenated organic compounds and an aqueous stream containing hydrogen halide.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 7, 1994
    Date of Patent: March 28, 1995
    Assignee: UOP
    Inventors: Robert S. Brasier, Robert B. James, Jr.
  • Process for the recovery of an acid gas from a gaseous stream containing acid gas
    Patent number: 5387277
    Abstract: A process for removing a water-soluble acid gas from a gaseous stream containing normally gaseous hydrocarbon compounds, hydrogen and the acid gas to produce an aqueous solution containing the dissolved acid gas and having a very low level of normally gaseous hydrocarbon compounds. The gaseous feed stream is contacted with a lean aqueous stream to remove water-soluble acid gas. The resulting acid gas rich aqueous stream is stripped with a hydrogen-rich gas to produce an aqueous stream containing dissolved acid gas and essentially no normally gaseous hydrocarbon compounds.

  • Vent gas processing scheme with vacuum swing adsorption
    Patent number: 5259853
    Abstract: An integrated process for treating a vent gas stream containing halogenated organic compounds to produce a clean vent gas with vacuum swing adsorption of the halogenated organic compounds and the recycle of a gaseous stream from the halogenated organic compound recovery section. A liquid sponge oil containing halogenated organic compounds is contacted and admixed with the evacuated effluent from the adsorption zone to prevent the accumulation of normally gaseous hydrocarbonaceous compounds.
