The propylene production of a fluid catalytic cracking unit employing a large pore zeolite cracking catalyst, produces more propylene by adding a naphtha cracking riser and a medium pore zeolite catalytic component to the unit, and recycling at least a portion of the naphtha crackate to the naphtha riser. The large pore size zeolite preferably comprises a USY zeolite and the medium pore size is preferably ZSM-5. Propylene production per unit of naphtha feed to the naphtha riser is maximized, by using the 60-300.degree. F. naphtha crackate as the feed.

A blade insert illumination system includes one or more illumination elements composed of a transparent or semi-transparent polymer that is preferably biocompatible and sterilizable. The illumination elements operate as a waveguide and may incorporate optical components such as, for example, facets, lenses, gratings, prisms and or diffusers to operate as precision optics for customized delivery of the light energy. The illumination elements may be modular, allowing components to be mixed and matched for different sizes of blade retractors, or may be a single integrated unit.

A reflector system having two-axis control through which beam collimation and wide-angle beam overlapping occur, and a method of manufacturing such a system through cutting flat reflective sheeting and forming the resultant flat parts into the three-dimensional reflectors that collect and shape the light from solid state LEDs, wherein each axis may be customized by changing the cutting and bending of the flat pieces.

The process described herein broadly comprehends an integrated process that permits the use of straight run residual fractions as a feedstock to produce lighter olefins including propylene. A blend of natural gas condensate and/or naphtha, and heavy oil residue(s), is catalytically cracked to produce a light olefin-rich product stream. In particular, the light natural gas condensate and/or naphtha stream is used as both solvent in a solvent-deasphalting unit and a portion for the feedstock to a fluidized catalytic cracking process. In addition, blending a heavy boiling hydrocarbon stream with a light natural gas condensate or naphtha stream enables efficient cracking in fluidized catalytic cracking process processes while sustaining the heat balance within the cracking unit.

A process for converting mixed waste plastic (MWP) into valuable petrochemicals including feeding MWP to a pyrolysis reactor, converting the MWP into a gaseous stream and a liquid stream, and further processing the gaseous stream into valuable petrochemicals.

The present disclosure provides a system and method for recycling intermediate product streams of at least gasoline from the MTP plant to the steam cracker plant for processing with the feedstock of the steam cracker plant to generate a higher percentage of ethylene and propylene. The steam cracker feedstock can be ethane.

Photocatalysts and methods of using the same for producing hydrogen and oxygen from water are disclosed. The photocatalysts include photoactive titanium dioxide loaded with 0.5 wt. % to 4 wt. % of a hole-scavenging material comprising cobalt oxide and 0.1 wt. % to 1 wt. % of palladium (Pd) and/or a Pd—Co alloy.

A burner assembly having a burner plate provided with a plurality of spaced apart nozzles thereon. A plurality of pilot burners are disposed at different locations proximate the burner plate. The pilot burners can be partially shielded within canopies with the burner plate being unshielded.

A headlamp aiming tool includes a linear member and four legs, the first of which is connected with one end of the member and the second, third and fourth of which are adjustable relative to the linear member. The first and second legs of the tool are used to measure the distance between the headlamps of a vehicle and the height of the headlamps relative to the ground or floor. The tool may also be mounted on the vehicle via the first and second legs and a fastener connected with the third leg arranged between first and second legs. Lastly, the tool includes a laser device connected with the fourth leg which is also between the first and second legs. The laser device can be aligned with a centerline of the vehicle to direct a laser beam against a screen in front of the vehicle to indicate the vehicle centerline on the screen. The headlamp light and spacing measurements are used to provide headlamp center points on the screen and to determine the horizontal and vertical offset of the low beam light from each headlamp. The offset is used to adjust the headlamps so that they are properly aimed.

An antiglare device comprises a housing for coupling to a headlight of a vehicle. Surfaces of the housing which face a passenger side of the vehicle are reflective to encourage reflection of light away from oncoming traffic while surfaces of the housing facing towards the driver side of the vehicle are preferably non-reflective to reduce the amount of light reflected towards oncoming traffic. Plates may be supported within the housing through which the light passes in which the plates similarly include reflective and non-reflective surface. The plates may be pivotal between a high beam position parallel to the direction of light projected through the housing and a low beam position in which the plates are deflected in the direction in which the reflective surfaces face towards the passenger side so that light is encouraged to be deflected laterally away from the oncoming traffic by the plates.. The plates may instead be horizontal in the high beam position and deflected downwardly in the low beam positions.

Systems and methods for processing full range naphtha to produce light olefins are disclosed. The systems and methods include separating the full range naphtha into a light naphtha stream and a heavy naphtha stream and integrating a catalytic cracking with a naphtha reforming to process the light naphtha and heavy naphtha streams.

The present invention relates to a device and to a process for the fluidized bed catalytic cracking of a hydrocarbon feedstock, in which: a first feedstock (2) is cracked in a dense fluidized bed reactor (1) in the presence of a catalyst (3) to produce a first effluent; and at least one second feedstock (10) is cracked in a transport fluidized bed reactor (4) in the presence of the catalyst (3) supplied by the dense fluidized bed reactor (1) to produce a second effluent, the second feedstock (10) being a heavier feedstock than the first feedstock (2).
