Such methods may include exposing a paraffin-containing stream to a catalyst in a side riser of a fluid catalytic cracking reactor under effective conditions for dehydrogenating at least a portion of paraffins in the stream into olefins and thereby producing an olefin-containing stream, wherein the paraffin-containing stream comprises greater than 50 wt % isobutane; and alkylating olefins in the olefin-containing stream to produce a product stream comprising an alkylate fraction comprising hydrocarbons boiling between 100° F. and 400° F.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2018Date of Patent: June 18, 2019Assignee: EXXONMOBIL RESEARCH AND ENGINEERING COMPANYInventors: William R. Gunther, Christopher G. Smalley, Brian A. Cunningham, James R. Bielenberg

Patent number: 10323198Abstract: A process for making high density fuels having the potential to increase the range and/or loiter time of Navy platforms. Derivation of these fuels from a sustainable source will decrease the carbon footprint of the Department of Defense (DoD) and reduce reliance on nonsustainable petroleum sources. Fuels based on ziza-anes have volumetric net heats of combustion up to ca. 18% higher than conventional Navy jet fuel (JP-5). Moreover, ziza-anes can be generated from sustainable biomass sugars via fermentation.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2015Date of Patent: June 18, 2019Assignee: The United States of America as Represented by the Secretary of the NavyInventor: Benjamin G Harvey

Patent number: 10323199Abstract: The present invention relates to a Fuel Supplement comprising of selected plant oils mixed in given proportions, which when added to fuels like petrol and diesel can reduce harmful emissions during combustion of fuel. It can significantly decrease the Sulphur content in fuels and thus protect the environment from harmful pollutants. It improves the fuel lubricity and engine performance. It also increases the flash point of Diesel.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2016Date of Patent: June 18, 2019Assignee: SSR PHARMA PRIVATE LTDInventors: Sandeep P. Agarwal, Surjan Singh Rauthan

Patent number: 10323202Abstract: A method for removing hydrogen sulfide (H2S) from an acid gas comprises feeding the gas to a membrane separation unit, collecting the product gas from the membrane unit, heating the permeate stream to the necessary inlet temperature for catalytic oxidation of H2S and feeding the heated permeate stream to a catalytic oxidation unit, where H2S is oxidized to SO2. The heating of the permeate stream is accomplished by using a fraction of the feed gas to heat the permeate stream in a separate heater or by using a steam-fired heater. The method is especially suited for use on an off-shore facility.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2015Date of Patent: June 18, 2019Assignee: HALDOR TOPSØE A/SInventors: Niklas Bengt Jakobsson, Claus Friis Pedersen
