Abstract: A method for reducing aldehydes in an acetic acid production process is disclosed. The acetic acid is produced by reacting methanol and carbon monoxide in the presence of a carbonylation catalyst. The method comprises reacting an aldehyde-containing stream with an alcohol to form an acetal-containing stream. An acetal-enriched stream is separated from the acetal-containing stream and then hydrolyzed to form a hydrolysis mixture comprising the alcohol and the aldehydes. The alcohol is isolated from the hydrolysis mixture and used to react with the aldehyde-containing stream to form the acetal-containing stream. The invention reduces aldehydes in the acetic acid produced.

Title: Tidal turbine system
Inventor: AYRE RICHARD
IPC: F03B13/26
Filed: 2010-11-30
Abstract: A tidal flow energy generation system has tidal turbine generators and a controls system for controlling operation of the one or more tidal turbine generators and a flow determination device for determining variations in the flow at a distance from a respective turbine generator. The control system operates using input from the flow determination device to predict change in flow, characteristics on course to impact on the turbine generators, such that an operational parameter of the turbine generator may be varied by the control system. The control system operating such that control of the turbine generator may be varied in response to input into the control means from the flow determination means. In this way, the system can operate to vary operation of the (or each) turbine generator in order to compensate for loading variations that will impact upon the turbine generator, the loading variations are predicted based upon the variations determined by the determination means. This reduces the risk of fatigue failure.

Title: Self-propelled, laterally deployed, ocean wave energy converting power plant/beach replenishment system/oil spill containment boom
Inventor: BOYCE PETER F
IPC: F03B13/14
Filed: 2012-08-02
Abstract: Deployed laterally (broadside to the waves), this power plant hydraulically converts the breadth of waves into electricity. Costly hydraulic motors, generators Etc.  need not be duplicated for each unit in series. Depleted waves break gently.  Sand put into suspension by the turbulent release of energy from waves crashing onto un-harvested beaches, carried by the alongshore current to calm water, settles and remains. Replenishment is the natural by-product of wave energy conversion, avoiding costly, environmentally intrusive dredging and pumping. At sea, extensions aid energy harvesting from swells. In series, it defends against oil spills Etc. from washing up onto beaches. Free floating, easily removed for maintenance when tourism takes priority over energy, beach replenishment and oil spill protection. When the series is to be transported over long distances at sea, inclined planes can be pivoted 90 degrees enabling the series to be self-propelled by the swells to its new site.
