Title: Jichuan Hu: Innovator in Low Pressure Olefin Recovery Processes
Introduction
Jichuan Hu is a notable inventor based in Sugar Land, TX (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of chemical engineering, particularly in the area of olefin recovery processes. With a total of 2 patents to his name, Hu's work has the potential to impact various industrial applications.
Latest Patents
Hu's latest patents focus on a low-pressure olefins recovery process. This innovative process involves compressing and distilling feed gas at a primary distillation pressure. The overhead stream is chilled at a pressure of less than 30 kg/cm² (430 psia) to partially condense the overheads. The primary distillation tower is refluxed with a portion of the condensate, while the overhead vapor undergoes further chilling and partial condensation. The condensate is then fed to a demethanizer, and the remaining vapor is cooled in a cold section. The resultant liquid is phase-separated and expanded to provide refrigeration for the cold section. The expanded vapor from the cold section is recycled to the process gas compressor. The bottoms streams from both the primary distillation zone and the demethanizer are fractionated into respective streams consisting essentially of ethylene, ethane, propylene, propane, C4's, and C5+.
