US Patent:

46734422, Jun 16, 1987

Filed:

Feb 21, 1986

Appl. No.:

6/832157

Inventors:

Richard D. Kaplan - Flossmoor IL

Assignee:

Standard Oil Company (Indiana) - Chicago IL

International Classification:

B08B 302
B08B 902

US Classification:

134 24

Abstract:

A specially constructed decoking apparatus is provided to effectively and efficiently bore a pilot hole and ream the remainder of a bed of coke with a high pressure stream of water or other cutting fluid without first changing nozzle heads or using different cutting instruments. The novel decoking apparatus has a vertical pilot nozzle and pilot pipe and a separate reamer and reaming pipe which are secured adjacent to each other and work in tandem.

Appl. No.:

5/919861

Inventors:

Richard D. Kaplan - Wheaton IL

Assignee:

Standard Oil Company (Indiana) - Chicago IL

International Classification:

C07C 352

US Classification:

585332

Abstract:

This invention relates to an improved process for the alkylation of olefins in an alkylation unit feed stream in order to produce a higher yield of alkylate having a higher octane number, a lower acid consumption rate, and a lower energy consumption. Such a process involves passing a feed stream comprised of olefins and paraffins through a membrane so that the olefins are separated from the paraffins. In passing through the membrane, the olefins are facilitated in their transport by an isoparaffin sweep stream and together, the olefin/isoparaffin stream is passed into an alkylation reactor. Within the reactor, the olefins react with the isoparaffins to form alkylate.
