摘要:
A container for containing flowable material comprises a rigid tank having a top opening therein for filling the tank with flowable material. A bottom opening in the lowermost portion of the tank for evacuating the flowable material. A cap seals the top opening in the tank and a piping assembly is connected to the bottom opening. A collapsible bladder inside the tank prevents the flowable material from coming into contact with the tank. A mating top cover and bottom base assembly are shaped to receive and enclose the tank. The piping assembly includes a dispensing spout which utilizes a spout, a dry-lock or a spring valve.

One exemplary embodiment of the present invention can be a fired heater for a hydrocarbon conversion process. The fired heater includes inlet and outlet headers or manifolds, a set of heater tubes with each heater tube having an inlet and an outlet, at least one restriction orifice adjacent the inlet of at least one heater tube. The restriction orifice may be within the inlet manifold and adjacent the inlet of a heater tube, or between the inlet manifold and the inlet to the heater tube. A process may include passing a hydrocarbon stream through the fired heater described herein during the course of operating a hydrocarbon conversion process.

摘要:
This invention relates to a hydrocarbon conversion process effected in the presence of hydrogen, especially a hydrogen-producing hydrocarbon conversion process. More particularly, this invention relates to the catalytic reforming of a naphtha feedstock, and is especially directed to an improved recovery of the net excess hydrogen, and to an improved recovery of a C.sub.3 + normally gaseous hydrocarbon conversion product and a C.sub.5 + hydrocarbon conversion product boiling in the gasoline range.
摘要:
A multiple-stage catalytic conversion system in which a hydrocarbonaceous charge stock and hydrogen flow serially through a plurality of catalytic reaction zones, in each of which the catalyst particles are downwardly movable via gravity-flow. At least three reaction zones are utilized, with the fresh feed and hydrogen reactant stream being split between the first and second. The flow of that portion introduced into the second zone is restricted. Effluent flow from the first reaction zone is also restricted and combined with the effluent from the second reaction zone; the mixture is introduced into a third reaction zone. Where the catalytic conversion system consists of four reaction zones, the flow of effluent from the third is restricted prior to the introduction thereof into the fourth reaction zone. This technique decreases the mass flow to the first two zones and increases the pressure drop experienced within the entire conversion system, thus serving to alleviate the problems associated with the occurrence of stagnant catalyst areas as a result of catalyst particles being "pinned" within the reaction zone and thus unable to assume a downward, gravity-flow pattern. Restriction of the second zone feed and first reaction zone effluent insures a higher pressure in the first zone.

One exemplary embodiment of the present invention can be a hydrocarbon conversion process. The process may include passing a hydrocarbon stream through at least one heater including at least one burner, a radiant section, and a convection section. Generally, the stream passes through the radiant section and then through the convection section before exiting the heater. Desirably, the hydrocarbon stream includes, in percent or parts by weight based on the total weight of hydrocarbons in the stream: C4 or less: less than about 0.5%, sulfur or sulfur containing compounds: less than about 1 ppm, and nitrogen or nitrogen containing compounds: less than about 1 ppm. Preferably, the sulfur or sulfur containing compounds and the nitrogen or nitrogen containing compounds are measured as, respectively, elemental sulfur or nitrogen.

At least four reaction zones are utilized, with the fresh feed and hydrogen reactant stream being split between the first and second reaction zones. The flow of that portion introduced into the second zone is restricted. The effluent stream from the first reaction zone is also restricted and then combined with the effluent from the second reaction zone. One portion of the combined effluent streams is introduced into the third reaction zone, and the remaining portion is restricted in flow, combined with the effluent stream from said third reaction zone, and introduced into the fourth reaction zone. This technique decreases the mass flow to the first three zones and increases the pressure drop experienced within the entire conversion system, thus serving to alleviate the problems associated with the occurrence of stagnant catalyst areas as a result of catalyst particles being "pinned" within a reaction zone and thus unable to assume a downward, gravity flow pattern.

摘要:
Disclosed are heaters having at least one adjustable fired burner and an adjustable fired burner for use with various types of heaters. The heaters may be part of an industrial processes such as petroleum refining. The adjustable burners are configured to be adjusted and positioned in any direction and then be locked into place. The adjustable burners may be adjusted automatically or manually. The ability to quickly adjust the position of an adjustable burner results in substantially less or virtually no damage to elements in the heater and provides for a more even distribution of heat within the heater.
