Thus, in addition to waste material being reduced, energy is recovered at highly favourable cost, as a result of the layout of electric heating elements for delivering the energy or heat needed to correctly transform the waste material, in short processing periods and with the adaptability of being able to be formed from moveable, transportable systems, even large industrial installations.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 15, 2020Publication date: February 1, 2024Applicant: ECOFUELS SPAInventors: Ariel Daniel CRESPO ARAOZ, José Alfredo DUGUET SAÉZ

Publication number: 20240034944Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to processes and systems for producing liquid transportation fuels by converting a feed stream that predominantly comprises isobutane. The feed stream is catalytically-activated in two separate reaction zones arranged in series in a manner that minimizes the production of C1-C3 light paraffins and is tolerant to the presence of typical catalyst poisons. The first reaction zone is selective for conversion of the feed stream to predominantly olefins and some aromatics. The second reaction zone is maintained at a lower temperature and a higher pressure and is selective for converting olefins to monocyclic aromatics which facilitates further feed stream olefination. Certain embodiments contact the activation effluent with an alkylation catalyst to provide enhanced yields of upgraded hydrocarbon products that meet specifications for a transportation fuel blend component.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 20, 2023Publication date: February 1, 2024Applicant: PHILLIPS 66 COMPANYInventors: Anthony O.

Publication number: 20240034946Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods for processing liquefied waste polymers containing diolefins and naphtha. Hydrotreatment A of the diolefins produces a diolefin depleted LWP feed which is separated by distillation B to give rise to one or more distillates containing at least a naphtha fraction, an optional middle fraction and a distillation bottom. Hydroprocessing C of the naphtha fraction gives rise to hydrogenated naphtha fraction which is suitable as a feed for a steam cracker D. The distillation bottom and the middle fraction can mixed with crude oil and used in oil refinerery since they are predominantly free from diolefins.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 28, 2021Publication date: February 1, 2024Applicant: Neste OyjInventors: Heikki AALTONEN, Antti OJALA, Ville PAASIKALLIO, Antti KURKIJÄRVI
