Latest Patents

One of Sudipta Ghosh's latest patents involves processes for recovering LPG from a reforming-zone effluent. This invention provides embodiments of apparatuses and methods for the reforming of hydrocarbons, including the recovery of products. In one example, the method comprises separating a reforming-zone effluent into a net gas phase stream and a liquid phase hydrocarbon stream. The net gas phase stream is further separated to form an H-rich stream and a first liquid phase hydrocarbon stream. The H-rich stream can be contacted with an adsorbent to create an H-ultra rich stream and a gas stream. Hydrocarbons are absorbed from the gas stream using the liquid phase hydrocarbon stream. Additionally, the gas stream may be contacted with an H/hydrocarbon separation membrane to separate the PSA tail gas stream, forming an H-rich permeate stream and an H-depleted non-permeate residue stream.

Another notable patent is for a dividing wall column with vapor separation. This apparatus is designed to separate a feed stream into product streams. It includes an upper section, a middle section, and a lower section, with the middle section featuring a dividing wall that separates it into two portions. A liquid barrier prevents the flow of liquid from the upper section into the middle section while allowing vapor to flow from the middle section to the upper section. A vapor and liquid barrier blocks the flow of vapor from the lower section to the middle section and the flow of liquid from the middle section to the lower section. Vapor conduits enable vapor to flow from the lower section to each of the middle portions in varying amounts.
