A hydrocarbon is reacted with water in the presence of a catalyst to form hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide. Hydrogen is selectively allowed to pass through a hydrogen separation membrane to a permeate side of a reactor, while water and carbon-containing compounds remain in a retentate side of the reactor. An outlet stream is flowed from the retentate side to a heat exchanger. The outlet stream is cooled to form a cooled stream. The cooled stream is separated into a liquid phase and a vapor phase. The liquid phase is flowed to the heat exchanger and heated to form steam. The vapor phase is cooled to form condensed water and a first offgas stream. The first offgas stream is cooled to form condensed carbon dioxide and a second offgas stream. The steam and the second offgas stream are recycled to the reactor.

Described herein are two-stage catalytic heating systems and methods of operating thereof. A system comprises a first-stage catalytic reactor and a second-stage catalytic reactor, configured to operate in sequence and at different operating conditions, For example, the first-stage catalytic reactor is supplied with fuel and oxidant at fuel-rich conditions. The first-stage catalytic reactor generates syngas. The syngas is flown into the second-stage catalytic reactor together with some additional oxidant. The second-stage catalytic reactor operates at fuel-lean conditions and generates exhaust. Splitting the overall fuel oxidation process between the two catalytic reactors allows operating these reactors away from the stoichiometric fuel-oxidant ratio and avoiding excessive temperatures in these reactors. As a result, fewer pollutants are generated during the operation of two-stage catalytic heating systems. For example, the temperatures are maintained below 1.000° C. at all oxidation stages.

A cleaning system comprise: a first pipe 20 connected to a reactor 10 used for producing polysilicon by using chlorosilane as a raw material; a heat exchanger 30 connected to the first pipe 20; a second pipe 60 provided between the heat exchanger 30 and the first pipe 20; and a driving unit 50 provided at the first pipe 20 or the second pipe 60. A cleaning liquid circulates through the first pipe 20, the heat exchanger 30 and the second pipe 60 by the driving unit 50.

A process for producing bis(fluorosulfonyl) imide includes providing a solution comprising fluorosulfonic acid and urea, the solution maintained at a solution temperature from about 0° C. to about 70° C.; reacting the solution in the presence of a reaction medium at a reaction temperature from 80° C. to about 170° C. to produce a product stream including bis(fluorosulfonyl) imide, ammonium fluorosulfate and the reaction medium; separating the ammonium fluorosulfate from the product stream to produce an intermediate product stream; and separating the intermediate product stream into a concentrated product stream and a first recycle stream, the concentrated product stream including a higher concentration of bis(fluorosulfonyl) imide than the first recycle stream.

A process for producing syngas that uses the syngas product from a partial oxidation reactor to provide all necessary heating duties, which eliminates the need for a fired heater. Soot is removed from the syngas using a dry filter to avoid a wet scrubber quenching the syngas stream and wasting the high-quality heat. Without the flue gas stream leaving a fired heater, all of the carbon dioxide produced by the reforming process is concentrated in the high-pressure syngas stream, allowing essentially complete carbon dioxide capture.

A clustered reaction system includes multiple reaction devices, a cooling device and a gas supply device. Each of the reaction devices includes a reaction tank unit defining a reaction space, multiple through holes extending through the reaction tank unit, a heat exchange module including a heat exchange passage surrounding the reaction tank, and an injection module extending through one of the through hole. The cooling device is connected to the heat exchange passages of the reaction devices for supplying a coolant into the heat exchange passages. The gas supply device is communicated fluidly with one of the through holes of each of the reaction devices for supplying a gas to the reaction devices.

The invention relates to a process for the oligomerization of ethylene, carried out at a pressure of between 0.1 and 10.0 MPa, at a temperature of between 30 and 200° C., in a cascade of N gas/liquid reactors in series, N being at least equal to 2, comprising a step of introducing a catalytic oligomerization system into at least the first reactor of the cascade, a step of bringing said catalytic system and an optional solvent into contact with ethylene by introducing said ethylene into the lower part of the reaction chamber of at least the first reactor of the cascade, for each reactor n, a step of withdrawing a liquid fraction in the lower part of the reaction chamber of the reactor n, the liquid fraction being separated into two streams: a first stream corresponding to a first, “main”, part of the liquid fraction, which is conveyed to a heat exchanger for cooling; a second stream corresponding to the second part of the liquid fraction which constitutes the liquid feedstock of the following reactor n+1 in the cascade, a step of introducing said second part of the liquid phase withdrawn from the reactor n towards the reaction chamber of the following reactor n+1 in the direction of flow, a step of cooling said first part of the liquid fraction withdrawn from the reactor n in step c) by passing said first part of the liquid fraction into a heat exchanger in order to obtain a cooled liquid fraction, a step of introducing said liquid fraction cooled in step e) at the top of the reaction chamber of said reactor n, the steps a) to f) being carried out, unless indicated otherwise, for each reactor n of the cascade, n being between 1 and N. The invention also relates to a device of N stirred gas/liquid reactors in a cascade, enabling the oligomerization process to be carried out.
