    Abstract: According to one or more embodiments, a plate grid distributor for distributing a fluid in a vessel may include a plate and an internal support system. The internal support system may include a plurality of pillar supports extending vertically from at or near a bottom surface of the plate towards a floor of the vessel. One or more of the pillar supports may include a flexible upper member connecting a rigid top support bracket to a rigid intermediate beam and a flexible lower member connecting the rigid intermediate beam to the rigid base support. According to one or more other embodiments, a method of distributing a fluid through a plate grid distributor in a vessel may include passing the fluid into the vessel below the plate grid distributor and directing the fluid through the plate gird distributor.

    Abstract: According to one or more embodiments, the flow of catalyst in a fluidized catalytic processing system may be controlled by a method including determining the amount of catalyst present in a first catalyst bed of the fluidized catalytic processing system. The fluidized catalytic processing system may include a first catalyst bed, a second catalyst bed, a third catalyst bed, and a fourth catalyst bed. The method may include comparing the amount of catalyst present in the first catalyst bed with a threshold catalyst amount. When the amount of catalyst present in the first catalyst bed is less than the threshold catalyst amount, the method may include regulating flow of catalyst from the second catalyst bed to the third catalyst bed such that an increased target amount of catalyst is maintained in the second catalyst bed.

    Abstract: According to one or more embodiments, olefins may be produced by contacting a hydrocarbon feed stream with a particulate solid in a reaction vessel. The reaction vessel may be connected to a riser. The riser may extend through a riser port of an outer shell of a particulate solid separation section such that the riser may comprise an interior riser segment and an exterior riser segment. The particulate solid separation section may include a gas outlet port, a riser port, and a particulate solid outlet port. The particulate solid separation section may house a gas/solids separation device and a solid particulate collection area. The riser port may be positioned on a sidewall of the outer shell such that it is not located on a central vertical axis of the particulate solid separation section. The particulate solid may be separated from an olefin-containing product stream in the gas/solids separation device.

    Abstract: A process for oxidative dehydrogenation of a hydrocarbon to produce an olefin and water may include contacting, in a fluidized bed, the hydrocarbon with a particulate material, which may include at least one oxygen transfer agent (OTA) and at least one fluidization enhancing additive. During at least a portion of contacting the hydrocarbon with the particulate material, the fluidized bed may be at a temperature at or above a melting point of one or more materials of the oxygen transfer agent. Further, during at least a portion of contacting the hydrocarbon with the particulate material, a surface of at least a portion of the OTA may comprise a molten layer. The fluidization enhancing additive may not undergo reduction in the fluidized bed during contacting the hydrocarbon with the particulate material and may be present in an amount that maintains sufficient fluidization of the particulate material.

    Abstract: A process for commencing a continuous reaction in a reactor system includes introducing a catalyst to a catalyst processing portion of the reactor system, the catalyst initially having a first temperature of 500 C or less, and contacting the catalyst at the first temperature with a commencement fuel gas stream, which includes at least 80 mol % commencement fuel gas, in the catalyst processing portion. Contacting of the catalyst with the commencement fuel gas stream causes combustion of the commencement fuel gas. The process includes maintaining the contacting of the catalyst with the commencement fuel gas stream until the temperature of the catalyst increases from the first temperature to a second temperature at which combustion of a regenerator fuel source maintains an operating temperature range in the catalyst processing portion.
