Patent number: 10994240Abstract: A piece of equipment commonly used in many petrochemical and refinery processes is a pressure swing adsorption (PSA) unit. A PSA unit may be used to recover and purify hydrogen process streams, such as from hydrocracking and hydrotreating process streams. Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to monitoring PSA unit processes for potential and existing issues, providing alerts, and/or adjusting operating conditions to optimize PSA unit life. There are many process performance indicators that may be monitored including, but not limited to, flow rates, chemical analyzers, temperature, and/or pressure. In addition, valve operation may be monitored, including opening speed, closing speed, and performance. The system may adjust one or more operating characteristics to decrease the difference between the actual operating performance in the recent and the optimal operating performance.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2018Date of Patent: May 4, 2021Assignee: UOP LLCInventors: Chad E. Bjorklund, Stephen Kelley, Jeffrey Guenther, Ryan McCool

Patent number: 10695711Abstract: Adsorbers have many purposes in chemical, gas-processing, and petrochemical plants. Adsorbers may be used to remove components from gas streams. Adsorbers may be subjected to various issues, including but not limited to moisture breakthrough, spent catalyst, too high or too low pressure drop, over or under heating, over or under cooling, too high or too low flow rates, which can affect their performance or result in a shutdown of the adsorbers. Monitoring the adsorbers and the processes using adsorbers may be performed to determine if the adsorbent bed is reaching saturation, other problems are occurring, or if equipment failures are imminent. Monitoring also helps to predict behavior or problems in different adsorbers used in the same plant or in other plants and/or processes.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2018Date of Patent: June 30, 2020Assignee: UOP LLCInventors: Ryan McCool, Chad E. Bjorklund, Jorge Charr, Luk Verhulst

Patent number: 10369894Abstract: A parking alignment sequence for wirelessly charging an electric vehicle can include determining a location of a charging station by a processing device of a user device based on communication over a cellular network. The charging station can have a transmitter for wirelessly transmitting power to a receiver of the electric vehicle. A first user interface having directions to the charging station from a current location of the user device can be displayed. Alignment data can be wirelessly received via a communication path that is independent of the cellular network in response to the electric vehicle being located within a predetermined distance from the charging station. A second user interface having alignment instructions can be displayed for moving the electric vehicle into alignment based on the alignment data in response to the electric vehicle being located within the predetermined distance from the charging station.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2016Date of Patent: August 6, 2019Assignee: HEVO, Inc.Inventors: Jeremy Ryan McCool, Umer Anwer, Alap Shah, Kunal Kamle
