International Classification:

C10G 1/10
C10G 1/00
C10G 69/06

Abstract:

A process for converting pyrolysis effluent stream into hydrocarbon products. Waste plastics are pyrolyzed at high temperature in a pyrolysis reactor to obtain a plastic pyrolysis effluent stream. The plastic pyrolysis effluent stream is further sent to a steam cracking unit for the separation of plastic pyrolysis effluent stream into a C5+ hydrocarbon stream and a C4 hydrocarbon stream. The pyrolysis reactor is operated at a to obtain hydrocarbon products of high value.

C10G 3/00
C01B 3/50

Abstract:

A bio-renewable conversion process for making fuel from bio-renewable feedstocks is combined with a hydrogen production process that includes recovery of CO. The integrated process uses a purge gas stream comprising hydrogen from the bio-renewable hydrocarbon production process in the hydrogen production process.

International Classification:

G07F 17/32
G07F 17/34

Abstract:

Disclosed is a gaming system including a gaming machine. In response to a triggering event, the gaming system initiates play of a feature game including a plurality of standard symbols and value symbols, the value symbols being associated with one or more values. Value symbols adjacent to one another are combined into a larger composite symbol and held in place on a display device, the standard symbols then replaced with replacement symbols randomly selected from the standard and value symbols. When the replacement symbols include another value symbol adjacent to the composite symbol, the new value symbol is also combined with the composite symbol, increasing its size. At the conclusion of the feature game, a reel associated with the composite symbol is displayed and spun to select an award from a set of possible awards based on the size of the composite symbol.

International Classification:

G07F 17/32
G07F 17/34

Abstract:

Disclosed is a gaming system including a gaming machine primarily dedicated for use in playing at least one regulated casino wagering game. In response to a triggering event, the gaming system initiates play of a feature game including a plurality of standard symbols and value symbols, the value symbols being associated with one or more values. One or more of the value symbols are held in place in a group on a display device, the standard symbols then replaced with respective replacement symbols randomly selected from the plurality of standard and value symbols. In response to the replacement symbols including another value symbol, the value symbol is added to the group and at least one of the values of the symbols previously in the group is modified. An award based on the current cumulative value of the held value symbols is determined at the conclusion of the feature game.

International Classification:

G07F 17/32
G07F 17/34

Abstract:

Presented herein are electronic gaming machines, gaming systems, and logic circuitry for executing wagering game applications. A gaming system is disclosed which includes game-logic circuitry and a regulated gaming machine. The gaming machine includes one or more electronic display devices and one or more electronic input devices coupled to a gaming cabinet. The wagering game includes a skill-based game element and a non-skill based game element. The game-logic circuitry: detects, via an electronic input device, a physical item associated with a monetary value that establishes a credit balance; initiates the wagering game in response to a wager input covered by the credit balance; directs an electronic display device to display an outcome of the casino wagering game, the outcome being influenced by the skill-based game element and/or the non-skill based game element; and receives, via an electronic input device, a cashout input that initiates a payout from the credit balance.

Appl. No.:

14/575467

Inventors:

- Des Plaines IL, US
David A. Wegerer - Lisle IL, US
Elizabeth Carter - Arlington Heights IL, US

International Classification:

B01D 53/04

Abstract:

A process for adsorbing hydrogen chloride (HCl) from a regeneration vent gas. The regeneration vent gas is cooled from a catalyst regeneration zone. The cooled regeneration vent gas is passed to an adsorption zone that is spaced apart from the catalyst regeneration zone. HCl from the regeneration vent gas is adsorbed onto a sorbent in the adsorption zone to enrich the sorbent with HCl to provide HCl-rich sorbent and deplete HCl from the regeneration vent gas to provide HCl-lean regeneration vent gas. HCl-lean regeneration vent gas is purged as an effluent gas. HCl-rich sorbent is passed from the adsorption zone to a sorbent regeneration zone. HCl from the HCl-rich sorbent in the sorbent regeneration zone is desorbed to provide a regenerated sorbent. The regenerated sorbent is transferred to the adsorption zone.

Abstract:

A process for adsorbing hydrogen chloride (HCl) from a regeneration vent gas. The regeneration vent gas from a regeneration zone is cooled, and the cooled regeneration vent gas is passed to an adsorption zone that is spaced apart from the regeneration zone. HCl from the regeneration vent gas is adsorbed onto a spent catalyst in the adsorption zone to enrich the spent catalyst with HCl to provide HCl-rich spent catalyst and deplete HCl from the regeneration vent gas to provide HCl-lean regeneration vent gas. The HCl-lean regeneration vent gas is purged as an effluent gas. The HCl-rich spent catalyst is passed to the regeneration zone.
