Title: Steam cracking furnace, used to make ethylene and propylene
Inventor: LENGLET ERIC
IPC: C10G9/20
Filed: 1997-03-04
Abstract: Tubular furnace heating by radiation for the thermal decomposition of hydrocarbon in the presence of steam, with a radiation zone containing at least one layer of vertical tubes for circulating a mixture of hydrocarbon and steam, heated by at least one row of vertical burners (6) of a first type, emitting flows of combustion gases and heating the radiation zone over most of its height. The burners produce \- 50% of the thermal power of the furnace and are associated with a second type of burner (7, 8) of weaker thermal power, heating a more limited part of the radiation zone. The maximum flow level is close to the emission points of the first burners and the air inlets for both types of burner are arranged at the same level or in stages over a fraction of the height (H) of the radiation zone. The burner assembly produces \- 80% and usually 100% of the thermal power of the furnace.

Title: Confection made from chestnut flour and honey
Inventor: THOMMEN PETER
IPC: A23L19/00
Filed: 1997-06-13
Abstract: A confection based on chestnut flour is made from uncooked flour mixed with honey, e.g. at a ratio of 1 kg of chestnut flour to 660 g of honey, depending on the latter's moisture content. Spices, flavourings or crispy ingredients can be added to the mixture, which can be mixed by machine, with the slight heating caused by the mixing blade helps to mix and shape the product without altering its qualities.  The mixture can be formed, e.g. into chestnut-shaped portions or into bars or blocks, and when not individually wrapped they can be dusted with chestnut flour to keep them from sticking together. Gives a product which keeps for several weeks, is wholesome and energy providing;  the use of uncooked chestnut flour avoids loss of vitamins or enzymes.

Abstract: Process of fabricating wood granules from materials containing lignocellusite fibers contaminated with creosote involves mechanical crushing and shredding, and heat treatment in which the granules undergo a pyrogenic reaction stage during the heat treatment. The heat treatment is continuous and without the presence  of oxygen. The material also passes through a sieving stage and is mixed to form the characteristics required of the final product.  The contaminated materials are stored under cover  before and during treatment to avoid water pollution. Before the mechanical treatment, any  metallic elements are removed, recovered and stored.   An Independent claim is given for a device used to carry out the above process. The device includes a shredder (2) that forms particles (3) and a furnace (7) supplied with heat (8). A sieve (4) sorts the aggregates, and the fine particles (3a) from the sieve form fuel for the fire (5) in the furnace. The shredder has a hood (12) blowing air from a pump (13) supplying the furnace.  Fumes from the furnace are treated and pass through a heat exchanger (16).
