  • Process for the preparation of hydrogenated hydrocarbon compounds
    Patent number: 9624142
    Abstract: A process for the dehydrogenation of a paraffinic hydrocarbon compound, such as an alkane or alkylaromatic hydrocarbon compound to produce an unsaturated hydrocarbon compound, such as an olefin or vinyl aromatic compound or mixture thereof, in which a dehydrogenation catalyst contacts gaseous reactant hydrocarbons in a reactor at dehydrogenation conditions.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 10, 2014
    Date of Patent: April 18, 2017
    Assignee: Dow Global Technologies LLC
    Inventors: Matthew Pretz, Susan Domke, William M. Castor, Simon J. Hamper

  • High conversion high vaporization hydrocracking process
    Patent number: 5120427
    Abstract: Potential problems associated with the formation of polynuclear aromatic compounds during hydrocracking of residual oils are eliminated by operating at high conversion rates with a high hydrogen concentration followed by a unique separation method. The feed to the final product recovery column is preferably highly vaporized before or within the column. All of the net bottoms stream of the product recovery column, which is equal to less than 5 vol. percent of the feed, is withdrawn from the process. Only PNA free distillate is recycled.
