Title: Yannick Sylvain Mathieu: Advancing Crude Oil Conversion to Petrochemicals.

Introduction

Yannick Sylvain Mathieu is an inventor based in Valencia, Spain. His patent work focuses on methods and systems for converting crude oil into petrochemical products, including light olefins and BTX.

Latest Patents

Mathieu’s listed patents describe two approaches to processing crude oil feedstock. Both begin by introducing a crude oil stream into a reactive distillation unit, which removes Conradson carbon and metals and produces a distillate with a lower mean boiling-point distribution than the original stream.

One approach sends the distillate, in gaseous form, continuously and without further processing to a catalytic cracking reactor. The reactor contains a cracking catalyst and susceptor material, and operates at 300°C to 800°C, using magnetic induction to heat the susceptor material. Cracking produces a petrochemical stream that includes light olefins and BTX.

The other approach also transfers the gaseous distillate directly to a catalytic cracking reactor operating at 300°C to 800°C. The reactor’s cracking catalyst converts the distillate into a petrochemical product stream that includes light olefins and BTX.

Mathieu is associated with 2 patents.
