Title: Methanol plant retrofit for manufacture of acetic acid
Inventor: THIEBAUT DANIEL MARCEL
IPC: C01B13/02
Filed: 2000-10-31
Granted: 2005-05-19
Abstract: The retrofitting of an existing methanol or methanol/ammonia plant to make acetic acid is disclosed. The existing plant has a reformer (10) to which natural gas or another hydrocarbon and steam (water) are fed. Syngas is formed in the reformer (10). All or part of the syngas is processed to separate out carbon dioxide (24), carbon monoxide (30) and hydrogen (32), and the separated carbon dioxide (24) is fed either to the existing methanol synthesis loop (12) for methanol synthesis, or back into the feed to the reformer (10) to enhance carbon monoxide formation in the syngas (18). Any remaining syngas (38) not fed to the carbon dioxide separator (22) can be converted to methanol in the existing methanol synthesis loop (12) along with carbon dioxide (24) from the separator (22) and/or imported carbon dioxide (25), and hydrogen (35) from the separator (28). The separated carbon monoxide (30) is then reacted with the methanol (36) to produce acetic acid (40) or an acetic acid precursor by a conventional process. Also disclosed is the reaction of separated hydrogen (32) with nitrogen (52), in a conventional manner, to produce ammonia. Also disclosed is the reaction of a portion of the acetic acid (40) in a conventional manner with oxygen (46) and ethylene (44) to form vinyl acetate monomer (48). The nitrogen for the added ammonia capacity in a retrofit of an original methanol plant comprising an ammonia synthesis loop (33), and the oxygen (46) for the vinyl acetate monomer process (42), are obtained from a new air separation unit (50).

Title: Mold clamping device
Inventor: SHIMA YOSHIHARU
IPC: B29C45/67
Filed: 1988-09-13
Granted: 1990-11-15
Abstract: Front (E) and rear (B) oil chambers in a clamping cylinder (18) are connected by a connecting path (22) provided in a piston section (21) of a clamping ram (20) for oil flow, when the ram (20) moves for mold opening or mold closure, to prevent generating negative pressure in the clamping cylinder (18). Oil then also passes between the clamping cylinder (18) and a charge tank (19) via open-close valve (41). Thereafter this valve (41) is closed to move a further open-close valve (25) to close the connecting path (22) of the piston section clamping ram for tight clamping. The front oil chamber (E) of the clamping cylinder is kept at low pressure by a relief valve (40). During mold opening, oil is supplied to an oil chamber for valve opening (F) from an oil chamber for mold opening (C) via a through-hole (32) bored in the clamping ram (21) to open the connecting path (22). The front oil chamber (E) of the clamping cylinder (18) and the charge tank (19) are kept at low pressure throughout cycle, so they need not be pressure proof. The oil circuit for operating the further open-close valve (25) can be simple.

Title: Disposable safety syringe
Inventor: RESTELLI SERGIO
IPC: A61M5/32
Filed: 1999-01-18
Granted: 2001-12-06
Abstract: A needle-covering sleeve (14), slidably fitted on the syringe barrel (1), is held in its retracted rest position by means of retaining tongues (10), which hook it at its rear rim (13). At the end of the injection stroke of the plunger (2), a rear flange (8) of the stem (3) of the plunger (2) radially opens the retaining tongues (10) apart, which release thereby the needle-covering sleeve (14). Then, the latter is axially advanced by means of a spring (16), to an advanced safety position, in which it entirely covers the needle (5) and is fastened to a sleeve-clamping ring (18), which is provided at the fore end of the syringe barrel (1). To this purpose, the sleeve-clamping ring (18) has peripheral elastic retaining tongues (19) which interact with matching retaining teeth (20) on the inner part of needle-covering sleeve (14) and prevent any axial backward movement of the needle-covering sleeve (14). Further, the sleeve-clamping ring (18) is a stop abutment, cooperating with an inner projection of the needle-covering sleeve (14) and preventing any further axial forward movement of such sleeve.

Title: Trapezoidally shaped mechanical braided packing
Inventor: CHAMPLIN GEORGE B
IPC: F16J15/22
Filed: 1993-10-18
Granted: 1997-12-04
Abstract: A system for reducing packing ring spin and opening up of the joints formed by the ends of a packing ring during break-in of trapezoidally-shaped mechanical braided packing involves utilization of additional warp yarns within the sides of the packing. These additional warp yarns bulge the packing at the sides of the packing above its horizontal centerline such that the outer portion of the packing is provided with a solid rectangular cross section. The solid section increases frictional contact between the rings and the stuffing box and between the rings themselves to eliminate packing ring spin. When the packing is wrapped around a shaft the bulging sides become flat for secure elongated anti-spin contact both between the packing rings and between the end ring and the bottom of the stuffing box. The utilization of the anti-spin configuration eliminates packing ring spin and the opening up of the joints formed by the ends of the packing rings during break-in, regardless of operator error in the installation of the packing rings.

Granted: 1998-12-10
Abstract: Apparatus is provided for reducing the pressure in a volatile organic chemical (VOC) tank ullage (11) whilst minimising emissions of VOC vapours into the atmosphere. The apparatus comprises a separation module (44) having an inlet (48) for receiving vapours from the tank, an outlet (42) connected to vent pipe (21) for depleted/retentate and an outlet (46) for permeate separated from inlet (48) and outlet (42) by a membrane (18) permeable to VOC's. A pump (19) draws VOC's through the membrane whilst a vapour extractor (17) causes vapour from the ullage (11) to flow across the membrane (18). The flow of vapour across the membrane is controlled by controller (45) in dependance, at least in part, on the pressure sensed in the underground tank by sensor (23), and the concentration of VOC's in vent pipe (21) detected by VOC detector (24). The vapour flow is controlled such as to act to minimise emissions by maximising residence time in proximity to the membrane (18).

Title: Deinking of printed paper by agglomeration process
Inventor: SRIVATSA NARENDRA R
IPC: C09K23/52
Filed: 1993-11-29
Granted: 1996-12-05
Abstract: Deinking of impact and nonimpact printed paper is accomplished by repulping the printed paper in an alkali aqueous medium containing a deinking composition comprising one or more nonionic surfactants and/or alkanols. The presence of the deinking composition causes ink particles to agglomerate, which are removed from the aqueous medium by size and density separation. The invention provides an agglomeration method with high ink removal from all types of impact and nonimpact printed paper.
