  • Publication number: 20230173447
    Abstract: Systems and methods useful in determining the superficial gas velocity in fluidized bed reactors may utilize a pressure drop across a portion of the system but not associated with a flowmeter. For example, method may comprise: obtaining a pressure for each of two different locations within a fluidized bed reactor system that comprises a reactor capable of containing a fluidized bed and a cycle gas loop, wherein one or both of the two different locations is not at a flowmeter; calculating a pressure drop based on the two pressures; calculating a first superficial gas velocity (SGValt) for the fluidized bed based on the pressure drop; and operating the fluidized bed reactor system based at least in part on the SGValt.

  • Patent number: 11260339
    Abstract: Provided are apparatus and systems for performing a swing adsorption process. This swing adsorption process may involve passing streams through adsorbent bed units to remove contaminants, such as water, from the stream. As part of the process, the adsorbent bed unit may provide access to the adsorbent material within the adsorbent bed unit without having to remove one or more of valves, conduits and manifolds.
    Type: Grant
