Patent number: 9447344Abstract: The invention relates to a process to manufacture advanced cellulosic gasolines. Dilute organic acids derived from pyrolized biomass are converted to their corresponding alcohols in a stand-alone hydrodeoxygenation unit followed by membrane pervaporation step to remove water. The alcohol product is blended directly into a neat hydrocarbon fuel basestock to make unadditized gasoline.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2015Date of Patent: September 20, 2016Assignee: PHILLIPS 66 COMPANYInventors: Sumod Kalakkunnath, Matthew J. Truitt, Jaehoon Bae, Cory B. Phillips

Patent number: 9266755Abstract: Methods and apparatus relate to treating fluid to at least reduce selenium content within the fluid. The treating includes conditioning stages to alter a composition of the fluid prior to removal of the selenium content from the fluid. The composition of the fluid after the conditioning stages facilitates the removal of the selenium content or at least limits detrimental impact to selenium removal efficiency.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2013Date of Patent: February 23, 2016Assignee: Phillips 66 CompanyInventors: Mark A. Hughes, Charles J. Lord, III, Bruce B. Randolph, Joe B. Cross, Sumod Kalakkunnath, Mike K. Corbett, Roger K. Goenner, Larry E. Reed

Patent number: 8702844Abstract: Methods and apparatus relate to recovery of carbon dioxide and/or hydrogen sulfide from a gas mixture. Separating of the carbon dioxide, for example, from the gas mixture utilizes a liquid sorbent for the carbon dioxide. The liquid sorbent contacts the gas mixture for transfer of the carbon dioxide from the gas mixture to the liquid sorbent. Contacting of the sorbent with the gas mixture and/or desorption of the carbon dioxide from the liquid sorbent utilize hollow-fiber contactors that have permeable walls and incorporate particles distinct from a remainder of the walls to influence wetting properties of the contactors.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2012Date of Patent: April 22, 2014Assignee: Phillips 66 CompanyInventors: Randall L. Heald, Clint P. Aichele, Imona C. Omole, George F. Schuette, Sumod Kalakkunnath

Patent number: 8258363Abstract: Methods and apparatus relate to separating and removing aromatic compounds from a hydrocarbon stream. Splitting of the hydrocarbon stream into constituents as desired relies on a membrane and distillation columns that supply feed into the membrane and receive retentate and permeate streams output from the membrane. Configurations employing the membrane and the distillation columns enable benzene recovery and facilitate efficient separation.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2011Date of Patent: September 4, 2012Assignee: Phillips 66 CompanyInventors: Sumod Kalakkunnath, Richard L. Anderson, James A. Anderson, legal representative, Richard D. Sadok, Prakash A. Karpe
