Patent number: 12234413Abstract: A method and system desulfurizes fuel produced from pyrolysis of waste tires and includes hydroprocessing tire pyrolysis oil to desulfurize the tire pyrolysis oil and obtain a hydroprocessed pyrolysis oil. The hydroprocessed oil is distilled into at least two environmentally fuel products selected from the group consisting of kerosene, naphtha, fuel oil, fuel and diesel. By combining hydroprocessing with distillation, and advantageously recycling byproducts, the methods of this disclosure allow for conversion of waste tires into fuel in a manner that is commercially viable and sustainable.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2021Date of Patent: February 25, 2025Assignee: Wastefront ASInventors: Henrik Selstam, Jorge Moreno Trejo, John William Hemmings

Patent number: 12157858Abstract: A process for production of useful hydrocarbon materials from plastic waste and reaction system therefor is provided. The process includes frequentatively thermolyzing of high molecular weight hydrocarbons such as plastic waste to produce useful medium molecular weight hydrocarbons and low molecular weight hydrocarbons. The process utilizes low molecular weight hydrocarbons as solution reactants which helps in reducing the viscosity of the material for more effective heat transfer. The process also includes addition of one or more low molecular weight olefins and solution reactants to high molecular weight hydrocarbons to augment the free radical environment. The process also includes hydrogenating and oxidizing the high molecular weight hydrocarbons. The process enables production of the useful, predominantly hydrocarbon materials such as waxes, lube oil base-stocks, refinery feedstocks, intermediates or fuel additives.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2022Date of Patent: December 3, 2024Assignee: Resonante LLCInventor: John William Hemmings

Publication number: 20240076566Abstract: This disclosure provides a method and system for desulfurizing fuel produced from pyrolysis of waste tires including adsorbing one or more polar sulfur molecules from the tire pyrolysis oil with a regenerable adsorbent, distilling the tire pyrolysis oil to separate the tire pyrolysis oil into at least two fuel products and regenerating and reusing the regenerable adsorbent material. By combining adsorption with distillation, and advantageously recycling byproducts, the methods of this disclosure allow for conversion of waste tires into fuel in a manner that is commercially viable and sustainable.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2021Publication date: March 7, 2024Inventors: Henrik Selstam, Jorge Moreno Trejo, John William Hemmings

Patent number: 11744402Abstract: Exemplary embodiments of a kamado-style cooker pizza oven conversion device are disclosed. Certain embodiments detachably mount within a kamado-styled cooker such that the lid of the cooker rests at an angle on the top of the device and thereby “closes off” and defines a cooking space within the interior that takes advantage of the pizza oven-like features of a kamado cooker. With an embodiment of the solution installed in a kamado cooker, an open doorway or window is defined for allowing a user to insert a pizza into the cooking space and place the pizza on a pizza stone held by the device. Embodiments allow for cooking to occur simultaneously via conductive, convective and radiant thermal energy transfer.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2022Date of Patent: September 5, 2023Assignee: Align Machine Works, LLCInventors: Joseph Pruitt, Jeffrey Broadrick, David Matthew Williams Hemming
