Title: Berj Garbouchian: Innovator in Olefins Recovery
Introduction
Berj Garbouchian is a notable inventor based in Houston, TX, who has made significant contributions to the field of chemical engineering. He holds 2 patents that focus on improving processes in the petrochemical industry, particularly in the recovery of light olefins.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "Cat cracker gas plant process for increased olefins recovery." This invention relates to a new process for more efficient separation and recovery of light olefins such as ethylene and propylene from a fluid catalytic cracking unit. The process involves several steps: first, providing a mixture of cracked hydrocarbons, including methane, ethylene, ethane, propylene, propane, butylene, butane, and heavier hydrocarbons produced in a fluid catalytic cracker. Next, the mixture is separated into two streams: the first stream comprises substantially all of the ethane, ethylene, and methane, along with a major portion of propane and propylene. The second stream contains a portion of butylene and butane, along with a major portion of heavier hydrocarbons. Finally, the first stream is processed to recover the ethylene and propylene.
