  • Patent number: 8680000
    Abstract: The invention concerns a process for regenerating a catalyst for the production of aromatic hydrocarbons or for reforming, comprising a step for combustion in a zone A comprising at least 2 beds A1 and A2, a step for oxychlorination in a zone B, and a step for calcining in a zone C. A portion of the effluent gas from the oxychlorination zone is recycled via at least one scrubbing section D to the inlet to beds A1 and A2. Further, a portion of the effluent gas from zone B is recycled to the combustion bed A2, passing via a blower but without passing via said scrubbing section D, and a portion is recycled to the inlet to zone B, passing via said blower but not via said scrubbing section. The invention also concerns the vessel in which said process is carried out.

  • Publication number: 20050104312
    Abstract: There is provided a steering pivot arrangement (12) having a pivot pin (16). The pivot pin (16) provides an inner race section (17) providing an inner raceway (18). A roller cage (20) retains a number of tapered rollers (19) on the inner raceway. The cage (20) has a number of resilient inward projections (26) spaced around its periphery. The projections (26) are clipped into an annular groove (22) behind a roller abutment rib at the large end of the raceway (18).
