Abstract: A process and system are disclosed for generating a credit by means of a prepaid voucher, as well as the voucher used therefor. A client generates a credit with a service provider in that he transmits to the service provider a secret character string stored on the prepaid voucher. Every time the client requests a service from the service provider, the value of the service is debited from his credit. In order to achieve the highest possible security standard, the secret character string stored on the prepaid voucher contains a secret access code which is stored nowhere else. The secret access code is generated by the emitter of the prepaid vouchers from a data set and a number associated with said data set, preferably a random number. The secret access code is stored together with the random number as a character string on the prepaid voucher and protected by appropriate measures against illicit access. The secret access code is destroyed as soon as it is stored on the prepaid voucher. The random number and the data set are transmitted to the service provider, who stores them in a data bank so that the corresponding data set may be accessed by means of the random number.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un traitement efficace de l'oxyde de propylène résultant d'un processus d'époxydation utilisant du méthanol en guise de solvant. Ce traitement permet d'éliminer l'acétaldéhyde par distillation fractionnée du produit réactionnel brut d'époxidation. Dans ce type de distillation on utilise le solvant méthanol pour abaisser la volatilité relative des impuretés acétaldéhyde, ce qui permet d'obtenir une fraction résidu contenant sensiblement tout l'acétaldéhyde. On retire l'oxyde de propylène purifié présentant une concentration réduite d'acétaldéhyde sous forme d'un flux de tête. Cette procédure permet également de séparer efficacement l'eau de l'oxyde de propylène.

Abstract: A control vent system is disclosed for reducing volatile impurities in a gaseous product of ultra-high purity delivered from a storage vessel containing an inventory of a non-cryogenic liquid product, as well as a method and a system for delivering the product from the storage vessel. The control vent system includes a vent line attached to the storage vessel and a condenser in the vent line. Coolant (e.g., a refrigerant) is transferred between the condenser and a source of coolant, such as a refrigeration unit. The method of reducing volatile impurities includes three steps. The first step is to vent part of the gaseous vapor from the gaseous vapor space to a condenser. The second step is to cool the vented gaseous vapor in the condenser to a temperature below the boiling point of the liquid product and above the boiling points of the volatile impurities. As a result, a first portion of the vented gaseous vapor is condensed and a second portion of the vented gaseous vapor is not condensed. The final step is to vent the second portion of the vented gasous vapor from the condenser. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A process is provided for the removal of hydrogen sulfide out of a gas stream by contacting the hydrogen sulfide contaminated gas with a solution of chelated metal catalyst, such as iron EDTA, in a scrubbing vessel so as to result in a cleaned gas and a scrubbing solution containing elemental sulfur and a reduced chelated metal catalyst. A portion of the hydrogen sulfide contaminated feed gas is branched off from the rest of the hydrogen sulfide contaminated feed gas, at a location upstream of the scrubbing vessel, and injected into a bisulfide generating vessel where it is contacted with an aqueous caustic solution, such as an aqueous solution of potassium hydroxide, wherein the hydrogen sulfide reacts with the caustic solution to result in a cleaned gas and a solution containing bisulfide ions. The solution containing bisulfide ions and the scrubbing solution containing elemental sulfur and reduced chelated metal catalyst are both injected into an oxidation vessel where they are contacted with an oxygen containing gas which oxidizes the reduced chelated metal catalyst back into its reactive oxidation state and also oxidizes the bisulfide ions into thiosulfate ions. The regenerated scrubbing solution containing reactive chelated metal catalyst and thiosulfate ions are recycled back to the scrubbing vessel for further contact with the hydrogen sulfide containing gas. The thiosulfate ions protect the chelated metal catalyst from degradation.
