Title: Method for recycling and exploitation of the glycerin obtained in the production of biodiesel
Inventor: KLOTZ RABELLO CARLOS RENE
IPC: C07C29/60
Filed: 2008-02-21
Abstract: A method to exploit the glycerin obtained as a by-product of the industrial process to produce biodiesel inside or out of the industrial production unit, providing a reduction in the environmental liability that may be caused by an excess in the production of glycerin that cannot be exploited for industrial use. The referenced method uses recycling of the glycerin obtained through industrial process to produce biodiesel, using a process basically consisting of four stages: a) Captation of the glycerin produced as a by--product of the industrial process for producing biodiesel; b) hydrogenation of said n-propanol glycerin, c) recycling of the n-propanol thus obtained to be added to a mixture of alcohols; and d) transesterfication of the n-propanol mixture added to the alcohol mixture, together with raw material triglycerides from renewable resources in order to obtain biodiesel. The referenced recycling of the n-propanol stream provides a reduction in the amount of the alcohol mixture necessary for the industrial process to produce biodiesel, consequently reducing operational costs.

Inventor: DINJUS ECKHARD
IPC: C10B53/02
Filed: 2006-07-29
Abstract: Process for production and preparation of rapid pyrolysis products from biomass for pressurized entrained-flow gasification comprising heating the biomass in the absence of oxygen in a pyrolysis reactor, in which process a temperature between 400 and 600~C is established for one to 50 seconds and the biomass reacts to form porous pyrolysis coke, pyrolysis condensate and pyrolysis gas, the pyrolysis gases are removed and vaporous components of the pyrolysis condensate are condensed in a plurality of condensation stages, condensed components being separated off in each condensation stage. The object is to improve the process in such a manner that, in particular, the risk of unwanted separation of the pyrolysis condensate and/or slurry before entry into the pressurized entrained-flow gasifier is reduced. The object is achieved by a means that in the first condensation stage a coke-condensate mixture is separated off at temperatures above the dew point of water, and in at least one following condensation stage an aqueous solution, called low-temperature carbonization wastewater, of oxygenated organic compounds is condensed and separated at temperatures between 0~C and 90~C.

Patent CA-2665362-A1 (CA)
Title: Valve cage for a pump
Inventor: FORD MICHAEL
IPC: F16K1/14
Filed: 2009-05-06
Abstract: A valve cage device is adapted for use with a subsurface pump or the like. The valve cage includes a housing and an insert. The insert includes a cradle, a plurality of angled ribs, and a base. In one embodiment, the insert may also include an extended nose region. A ball and seat may be positioned in the valve cage. During pumping operations, the cradle retains the ball when the ball is unseated, thereby allowing fluid to pass freely through channels in the insert and around the ball. This eliminates violent action of the ball, thereby obviating a need for a hard liner to be included in the valve cage. A port in the cradle allows fluid to pass therethrough when the ball has been released from the cradle. The angular configuration of the ribs provides for a more laminar flow of fluid compared with prior art valve cages, thereby providing improved passage of fluid through the valve cage. The base may include an angled hook or lip that creates a tight seal, thereby preventing fluid from washing by during pumping operations. During pumping operations, when the ball is released from the cradle, it is guided by the insert and falls straight downward onto the seat, allowing for faster seating of the ball, and in turn, reducing pump stroke loss and providing for more efficient pumping. The valve cage may be configured for a traveling valve or standing valve portion of a subsurface pump or the like.
