Process for the controlled oligomerization of butenes

The selective dimerization of isoolefins, such as isobutene or isopentane, or mixtures thereof, may be conducted in a system including a series of fixed bed reactors and a catalytic distillation reactor. The system may provide for conveyance of the fixed bed reactor effluents, without componential separation, to a downstream reactor. It has been found that a high selectivity to the dimer may be achieved even though intermediate separation of the desired product from unreacted components between reactors is not performed. Further, embodiments provide for use of a divided wall column for recovery of a high purity dimer product, reducing unit piece count and plot size.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TREATING PYROLYSIS OIL

A pyrolysis oil fractionation system for treating a pyrolysis oil feed includes a fractionation column, at least one treatment catalyst bed, and a plurality of distillation trays. The system further includes a condenser to receive a light fraction and produce a condensed gasoline product and a vapor, a receiver coupled to the condenser, a knockout drum, and a distillate stripper coupled to the fractionation column. A method for treating a pyrolysis oil feed includes, in a fractionating column, dehydrohalogenating, decontaminating, and/or dehydrating a pyrolysis oil feed in at least one treatment catalyst bed, and distilling the treated pyrolysis oil feed into a light fraction, a middle fraction, a heavy fraction, and a bottom fraction. The method further includes condensing the light fraction and producing a condensed gasoline product and a vapor, separating a fuel gas product from the vapor, and stripping the middle fraction to produce a distillate product.

Method and apparatus for preparation of pharmacologically-relevant compounds from botanical sources
11759724 · 2023-09-19 ·

In a system and process for selectively purifying various pharmacologically-relevant components of a source plant such as cannabis, an initial step provides a low-temperature, robust essential oil/terpene capture that also dehydrates and decarboxylates the starting product—fresh raw cannabis—by means of a vacuum-assisted microwave distillation process. By doing the terpene capture under vacuum distillation temperature may be kept low. The low distillation temperature maximizes yields of thermally-sensitive components such as terpenes and cannabinoids. The system includes an oil/water separator configured to prevent leakage of ambient air into the system.
