MUMBAI, India, June 30 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202617052572 A) filed by Uop LLC on April 24, 2026, for Process For Regenerating Oligomerization Catalyst With Purge.
Inventors include Abdo, Suheil F.; Serban, Manuela; and Mathur, Ashish.
The application for the patent was published on June 26, 2026, under issue no. 26/2026.
Abstract: A process for oligomerizing and oligomerizing olefins to distillate fuels which regenerates a first stage oligomerization catalyst bed and/or a second oligomerization catalyst bed in situ by contact with an oxygen gas at elevated temperature. Purge and pressurization of the oligomerization catalyst bed before regeneration and pressure maintenance after regeneration can be achieved with an inert gas provided by carbon dioxide generated from fermenting starches and sugars from biomass to make alcohol or from carbon burn in the regeneration process. The alcohol can also be dehydrated to olefins to provide the olefin charge stream for oligomerization. The oligomerization catalyst can be restored to full activity. A regeneration process can enable continuous operation.
