20030201334, Oct 30, 2003

Filed:

Apr 24, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/131377

Inventors:

Jan Wells - Bartlesville OK, US
P. Smith - Taylor Lake Village TX, US
Michael Wardinsky - Bartlesville OK, US

International Classification:

B05B017/04

US Classification:

239/011000

Abstract:

A novel process for atomizing a liquid stream is disclosed and includes introducing the liquid to a nozzle including a fluid conduit, an outlet orifice and swirl-imparting means thereby at least partially atomizing the liquid stream to form an atomized liquid stream. Preferably, the atomized liquid stream does not contact a fluid deflecting device upon exit from the outlet orifice. This novel process can be utilized in a fluidized catalytic cracking process prior to contact with a fluidized catalyst or in a coking process for atomizing an oil stream.

International Classification:

C07C 1/00

US Classification:

585240

Abstract:

This invention discloses a heat integrated and energy saving process for producing high quality pyrolysis oil from biomass by utilizing a torrefaction pretreatment step for biomass pyrolysis processing wherein the pretreatment step improves the quality of the pyrolysis oil by reducing acidity. This invention further utilizes the gaseous product of the torrefaction step through a combustion process for heat production and recovery.

Appl. No.:

9/119194

Michael David Wardinsky - Lake Jackson TX

Assignee:

Phillips Petroleum Company - Bartlesville OK

International Classification:

G06G 748
G06G 758

US Classification:

703 12

Abstract:

A predictive kinetic model is disclosed for simulating fluid catalytic cracking of large hydrocarbon molecules having a lumping scheme that includes hydrocarbon descriptions based on boiling point distribution and chemical properties. The simulation results in a nearly continuous prediction of products as function of boiling point temperature. The lumping scheme defines a relatively large number of small fixed boiling-point range pseudo-components for describing product material, and a smaller number of larger boiling-point range pseudo-components for describing feed conversion and selectivity. The chemical properties for describing hydrocarbons include total hydrogen, aromatic carbon and aromatic hydrogen.

International Classification:

G01N 3100
G06F 1900

US Classification:

702 27

Abstract:

A method to rapidly characterize the hydrocarbon chemistry of heavy residual petroleum mixtures uses three model equations for predicting aromatic carbon content, aromatic hydrogen content and total hydrogen content of the heavy residual oil. The predictive equations are based on three easily measured bulk properties including refractive index, specific gravity and the Watson K factor.
