Patent EP-0839784-A1 (EP)
Inventor: MERRILL JAMES T
IPC: C07C2/66
Filed: 1997-10-24
Abstract: The present invention addresses heat integration in an alkylation/transalkylation process involving alkylation of an aromatic substrate with a C 2 -C 4  alkylating agent coupled with separation to recover a monoalkylated aromatic product and liquid phase transalkylation of a polyalkylated product. Aromatic feedstock and a C 2 -C 4  alkylating agent are supplied to an alkylation reaction zone which is operated to produce an alkylated product. The output from the alkylation reaction zone initially travels through an arrangement of heat exchangers. From there, the alkylation effluent passes into the first separation zone which is operated to produce a lower boiling fraction comprising the aromatic substrate, which may be recycled to the alkylation reaction zone, and a higher boiling fraction comprising a mixture of monoalkylated and polyalkylated aromatics. This lower boiling fraction first travels back through portions of the heat exchanger arrangement on the way to recycle into the alkylation zone. The higher boiling fraction of the first separation zone is supplied to a secondary separation zone to produce a second lower boiling fraction comprising the desired monoalkylated product and a higher boiling fraction comprising polyalkylated product. At least a portion of the higher boiling polyalkylated fraction passes through a portion of the heat exchanger arrangement into a transalkylation reaction zone containing a molecular sieve transalkylation catalyst operated under liquid phase conditions to cause disproportionation of the polyalkylated fraction to arrive at a disproportionation product having a reduced polyalkylated aromatic content and an enhanced monoalkylated aromatic content.

Abstract: An apparatus for minimizing deposition in an exhaust line of a
substrate processing chamber. The apparatus (40) includes first and second
electrodes (56,58) having opposing surfaces that define a fluid conduit (54)
between them. The fluid conduit includes an inlet (50), an outlet (52) and a
collection chamber between the inlet and the outlet. The apparatus is
connected at its inlet (50) to receive the exhaust of a substrate processing
chamber. The collection chamber is structured and arranged to collect
particulate matter flowing through the fluid conduit and to inhibit egress of
the particulate matter from the collection chamber. A plasma generation
system (102) supplies power to the electrodes to form a plasma from etchant
gases within the fluid conduit. Constituents from the plasma react with the
particulate matter collected in the collection chamber to form gaseous
products that may be pumped out of the fluid conduit. The apparatus may
further include an electrostatic collector (100) to enhance particle collection in
the collection chamber and to further inhibit egress of the particulate matter.

Abstract: A method for operating a shaft furnace which
comprises charging the furnace with an iron source having
a low degree of metallization and thus requiring
reduction, an iron source having a high degree of
metallization and thus requiring nothing but melting, and
a solid fuel, and blowing an oxygen-containing gas at
ordinary or higher temperature up to 600°C into the
furnace through tuyeres to reduce and melt the iron
sources. The optimal values of ηco (gas utilization
factor) are determined from the average degree of
metallization of the iron sources, and the shaft furnace
is controlled so that the effluent gas from the furnace
has the optimal ηco values. The control is accomplished
by regulating the height of the charge, regulating the
height of the coke bed, etc., using multistage tuyeres,
and radially partitioning the charge. Thus, the iron
sources can be efficiently reduced and melted at a low
fuel ratio.

Abstract: The invention relates to a filtering device for making boiled beverages comprising a filter holder (1), and a filtering element (28) consisting of filter paper. Said filtering element (28) has a receiving area (76) for filling with extraction products such as ground coffee or tea leaves. Said extraction products produce extracts when brought into contact with hot water, with the result that a boiled beverage then flows out of the filtering element (28). During this process, the filtering element (28) is accommodated in said filter holder (1). The outer contour (29) of the holding area (76) of the filtering element (28) assumes an ellipsoidal shape. Said filtering element (28) is mechanically reinforced by folds (42, 48, 51, 52) in the filter paper. According to the invention, a filtering device of this type is much easier to use and percolating performance is also improved. At the same time, the insertion of a filtering element of this type (28) in a filter case (16) and filling thereof with ground coffee, for example, are improved. A filtering element (28) of this type is easy to produce and does not require any additional attachment elements.

Abstract: A method of applying a layer onto a glass container (3) involves using a grab (12) of a manipulator (13) to transport a group (10) of the hot containers (3) to above a coating vessel (18), immerse the group in a coating medium, raise the group and transport the group to above a transport belt (22) where the grab (12) is inactivated to release the group (10) onto the belt (22), the empty grab (12) then being returned to a pick-up point (11) for gripping a new group (10) of containers (3). The novelty is that, after being released from the grab (12), each group (10) of coated containers (3) is transported by the belt (22) through a second curing zone (27) for curing the applied layer. An installation for carrying out the above method has (a) a heating unit (7) for heating the containers (3) to the coating temperature; (b) a manipulator (13) with a grab (12) for picking up and transporting a group (10) of the containers (3) from a pick-up point (11); (c) a grab holder (15) which ca n move along a track of the manipulator (13) and which has a gripper (16) for releasably gripping each container (3) of the group (10); (d) a coating vessel (18) for dip coating of the container group (10); and, as the novel feature, (e) a second curing zone (27), through which each container group is transported by a transport belt (22) for complete or partial curing of the applied layer. Preferably, a first curing zone is provided between the coating vessel (18) and the transport belt (22) for curing the layer on the container bases, the second curing zone (27) being used to harden the rest of the layer. Further claimed is a glass container having, on at least part of its exterior surface, a preferably 30-60 mu m thick layer of thermosetting powder lacquer.

Title: Fail-safe networked control system for ventilation units
Inventor: ROUTHIER FRANCOIS
IPC: F24F11/00
Filed: 1997-05-29
Abstract: The ventilation system comprises a master controller (10) connected by communication links to slave controllers (12, 14, 16, 18) that regulate the operation of individual fan units (20, 22, 24, 26). The master controller (10) transmits to the slave controllers (12, 14, 16, 18) temperature or rotational speed set points calculated to maintain within the premises desired environmental conditions. At least one slave controller (12, 14, 16, 18) is provided with a temperature sensor (72) allowing the slave controller to modulate the speed of the fan according to the local temperature. This feature is useful in situations when the master controller (10) is no longer capable of sending valid set point data to the slave controller (12, 14, 16, 18), either due to a malfunction of the master controller (10) or because the communication link is interrupted. The local temperature sensor (72) can also be used as backup to the main temperature sensor (34) of the master controller (10). Should the main temperature sensor (34) fail, the master controller reads the temperature remotely, over the communication link and this data is used to continue generating set points data that is transmitted to the slave controllers.
