20090270518 - Catalyst with support structure: The present invention provides a catalyst carrier, catalyst and catalyst precursor comprising a refractory metal oxide and support structure comprising a wire gauze having between 1002 to 6002 openings per inch2, and having a wire thickness in the range of 20 micrometer to 110 micrometer. The volume of the support... Agent: Shell Oil Company

20090264542 - Process and plant for substitute natural gas: A process for producing substitute natural gas (SNG) comprising the steps of reacting a fresh syngas (11) into a methanation section (10) comprising adiabatic reactors (101-104) connected in series, with heat removal and reacted gas-recirculation, wherein the fresh syngas is fed in parallel to said adiabatic reactors. In a preferred... Agent: Akerman Senterfitt

20090264543 - Integrated process for the co-production of methanol and demethyl ether from syngas containing nitrogen: The present invention relates to a novel integrated process for the co-production of methanol and dimethyl ether (DME) from syngas containing nitrogen, which is based on a two-stage reaction. In the first stage, most of the syngas is converted into methanol by using one reactor or two tandem reactors or... Agent: Nixon & Vanderhye, PC
