MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202621030051 A) filed by Mohite Vikram Narayan, Khanpur, Maharashtra, on March 12, for 'transient acetylene adsorption buffer system for managing acetylene spikes during transient operation in steam cracker plants.'
Inventor(s) include Mohite Vikram Narayan.
The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a system and method for mitigating transient acetylene concentration spikes in cracked gas streams of olefin-producing steam cracker plants. The invention provides transient adsorption buffer system integrated within the cracked gas processing section for temporarily reducing acetylene concentration during transient operating conditions. In one embodiment, a cracked gas stream containing acetylene is selectively diverted to an adsorption vessel containing an adsorbent capable of preferentially adsorbing acetylene from olefin-containing gas streams when acetylene concentration exceeds a predetermined threshold. The treated gas stream exiting the adsorption vessel may be routed to downstream separation units, to an acetylene hydrogenation unit for further removal, or diverted to a flare system depending on process conditions. The adsorption vessel operates intermittently during startup or process upsets and may be regenerated using regeneration techniques. The system thereby reduces hydrocarbon losses associated with flaring and improves operational flexibility of steam cracker plants."
