Latest Patent Applications

Ahmed has been involved in several significant patent applications. One of his latest applications is titled "Systems and Methods of Valorization of Mixed Waste Plastic Oil to Light Olefins via a Catalytic Cracking Process Along with Naphtha as a Co-Feed/Blend." This disclosure provides processes and systems for fluid catalytic cracking of feed streams that include hydrocarbons and varying amounts of mixed waste plastic oil to produce valuable petroleum products, such as light olefins and aromatics. The processes generally include providing a waste plastic pyrolysis oil, treating the waste pyrolysis oil to reduce the content of one or more of silicon, chlorine, nitrogen, sulfur, and higher olefin components, providing a hydrocarbon stream, combining the hydrocarbon stream with the waste plastic pyrolysis oil to provide a combined feed stream, and feeding the combined feed stream to a fluid catalytic cracking unit having a catalytic cracking catalyst containing a mixture of HZSM and USY. Another notable application is "Methods and Systems for Preparation of a Phosphate Modified Zeolite Catalyst." This application outlines methods and systems for preparing a solid supported modified zeolite catalyst for use in the fluid catalytic cracking of a hydrocarbon feedstock, such as a feedstock with a boiling point of less than 330° C. Methods include preparing an alkaline treated zeolite, passivating by phosphatation, and combining with alumina and silica slurry to result in a spray dryable catalyst precursor. The spray dried modified zeolite catalyst can be used in a fluid catalytic cracking unit to convert light hydrocarbon feedstocks to ethylene and propylene enriched product streams.

Conclusion
