MUMBAI, India, Sept. 12 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202517079668 A) filed by Board Of Regents, The University Of Texas System, Austin, U.S.A., on Aug. 22, for 'high temperature solvent separation with advanced stripper and direct contact condenser.'
Inventor(s) include Rochelle, Gary; and Babu, Athreya Suresh.
The application for the patent was published on Sept. 12, under issue no. 37/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Methods and systems described herein improve energy efficiency and costs of separating components from high temperature solvents. A heat exchanger used to capture heat from a stripper before a final condensation step may be replaced with an additional section of packing. This additional section of packing may be at the top of the stripper column and may act as a direct contact condenser. Additionally, a cold rich split may flow into the additional section of packing rather than be mixed with a warm rich bypass. This direct contact condenser configuration may increase energy efficiency and reduce capital costs."
The patent application was internationally filed on Jan. 18, 2024, under International application No.PCT/US2024/012004.
