Latest Patents
One of Wilcher's latest patents is titled "Process for the isomerization of benzene containing feed streams." This innovative process allows for the saturation of benzene in a light paraffin isomerization process. It can accommodate varying quantities of benzene by incorporating progressive steps that control temperatures in the isomerization zone. The majority of the saturation occurs within an immediately upstream benzene saturation zone. This process is particularly effective for saturating benzene to very low levels, even when feedstream concentrations of benzene may vary from 2 to 25 wt % throughout a given period of operation. It can also handle rapid swings in benzene concentration that may occur on a daily basis. The invention is especially suited for the use of a sulfated zirconia catalyst, which allows for the utilization of existing reactor vessels in an isomerization process.
