The present disclosure relates to apparatus and processes for pyrolysis of feeds, such as plastic feeds. In at least one embodiment, a process includes introducing a plastic melt including a plastic component into a reactor via a nozzle coupled with the reactor. The process includes introducing a catalyst into the reactor via a first conduit coupling the reactor with a riser or a regenerator. The process includes pyrolyzing the plastic component to form a pyrolysis product. The process includes removing the pyrolysis product from the reactor via a second conduit disposed at a top ½ height of the reactor. The process includes removing the catalyst from the reactor via a third conduit disposed at a bottom ½ height of the reactor, wherein the catalyst removed from the reactor comprises ash.

Apparatus and processes for pyrolysis of plastic feeds

A thermal conveyance system and process for absorbing, transporting, storing, and recovering thermal energy (both hot and cold energy) over a wide range of temperatures from up to 2,100&#xb0; F., or higher, or cool energy at subzero temperatures in inert and stable particles without the need to maintain a minimum temperature or requiring high system pressures. The process involving the transferring thermal energy to a first transfer fluid and recovering thermal energy from a second transfer fluid wherein the first and the second transfer fluids comprise a two phase thermal media including a gaseous carrier containing a quantity of micron to millimeter sized solid particles.

Process and system for hot and/or cold energy transfer, transport and/or storage

A system and process for carrying out one or more chemical reactions are provided and include one or more chemical reactors having particulate solids forming a bed therein, and a gas stripping zone forming a non-mechanical seal between said reactors which includes a conduit connecting the reactors. The conduit includes an inlet for a stripping gas which is adapted to prevent process gas from passing between reactors while permitting particulate solids to pass between reactors.

Circulating fluidized bed with moving bed downcomers and gas sealing between reactors

A fluidized reactor system for removing impurities from a gas and an associated process are provided. The system includes a fluidized absorber for contacting a feed gas with a sorbent stream to reduce the impurity content of the feed gas; a fluidized solids regenerator for contacting an impurity loaded sorbent stream with a regeneration gas to reduce the impurity content of the sorbent stream; a first non-mechanical gas seal forming solids transfer device adapted to receive an impurity loaded sorbent stream from the absorber and transport the impurity loaded sorbent stream to the regenerator at a controllable flow rate in response to an aeration gas; and a second non-mechanical gas seal forming solids transfer device adapted to receive a sorbent stream of reduced impurity content from the regenerator and transfer the sorbent stream of reduced impurity content to the absorber without changing the flow rate of the sorbent stream.
