Title: Michael J Girgis: Innovator in Hydrocarbon Processing
Introduction
Michael J Girgis is a notable inventor based in Lawrenceville, NJ (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of hydrocarbon processing, holding 2 patents that focus on enhancing the quality of gasoline through innovative chemical processes.
Latest Patents
His latest patents include a process for converting multi-branched heavy hydrocarbons to high octane gasoline. This invention relates to upgrading multi-branched C.sub.9 + olefinic and/or paraffinic by-products of heavy hydrocarbon upgrading processes. The process involves contacting feeds rich in multi-branched C.sub.9 + olefins and/or paraffins with hydrogen at pressures ranging from about 200 psig to about 2000 psig. This is done in the presence of an unsulfided catalyst composition that comprises a low acidity molecular sieve with an Alpha Value of 5 or less. The catalyst's capability to crack at unsubstituted carbon-carbon bonds results in more highly branched paraffinic products, which are higher in octane number compared to those obtained from conventional dual function hydrocracking catalysts.
Another significant patent by Girgis is a two-stage process for the selective hydrocracking of distillates to produce naphtha. This process aims to produce high-octane naphtha range isoparaffins from feeds rich in normal and/or slightly branched paraffins. In the first stage, normal and/or slightly branched paraffins are selectively converted to multi-branched paraffins. In the second stage, these are cracked to yield naphtha range isoparaffins, which can be blended into a high-octane gasoline pool.
