Title: Niels Jan Schenk: Innovator in Aromatic Compound Production
Introduction
Niels Jan Schenk is a notable inventor based in Groningen, Netherlands. He has made significant contributions to the field of chemical engineering, particularly in the production of low molecular weight aromatic compounds from various feedstocks. With a total of three patents to his name, Schenk's work focuses on innovative processes that enhance the efficiency and sustainability of aromatic compound production.
Latest Patents
Schenk's latest patents include a novel process for the preparation of low molecular weight aromatic compounds such as benzene, toluene, and xylenes (BTX) from plastics. This invention outlines a thermo-catalytic pyrolysis process that involves subjecting a plastic feed stream to pyrolysis treatment at temperatures ranging from 600 to 1000° C. The process produces pyrolysis vapors, which are then cooled and contacted with an aromatization catalyst to yield aromatic compounds.
Another significant patent involves the preparation of low molecular weight aromatics (BTX) and biofuels from biomass. This process entails subjecting a biomass feed stream to a conversion process that results in aromatic compounds. The method includes recovering these compounds, separating higher molecular weight fractions, and reducing them to obtain lower molecular weight aromatics.
