20110100007 | POWER RECOVERY - The invention relates to a method and apparatus for recovering power from the gaseous stream produced by an oxidation reaction. Specifically, the invention is based on heating the gaseous stream from the oxidation reaction to a temperature of at least 800° C. and recovering energy through a gas turbine. The compressor stage of the gas turbine compresses the oxidant feed to the reactor thereby at least partially offsetting the cost of providing the high temperature and pressure reaction conditions in the reactor. The invention also provides improved control of the power recovery system by optimising the efficiency of the gas turbine by feeding gas to the gaseous stream to modulate the flow of gas to the turbine relative to the compressor discharge flow in order to compensate for the consumption of oxidant in the reactor. | 05-05-2011 |

20130255259 | POWER RECOVERY FOR USE IN START-UP OR RE-START OF A PURE TEREPHTHALIC ACID PRODUCTION PROCESS - The invention relates to a method and system for recovering power from the gaseous stream produced by a paraxylene-air oxidation reaction. Specifically, the invention is based on heating the gaseous stream from the oxidation reaction to a temperature of at least 600° C., recovering energy through an expander, heating the expander vent stream and recovering heat from the vent stream. The recovered heat is used to maintain the oxidation process, purification process, start-up the process, or re-start the process after an interruption. | 10-03-2013 |

20080282870 | Automated disc jockey - An automated disc jockey. It accesses a database that models multiple music tracks as linked data objects. Each music track model includes a music track data object identifying the music track and linked to a plurality of other data objects that parameterize metadata of the music track. Some of the other data objects are sharable data objects that may be linked from other music track data objects. Data objects and links defining a model of a first music track are extracted from the accessed database. Data objects and links that define a model of a second music track that is adjacent to and follows the first music track in a play-list are extracted from the accessed database. A sub-set of the extracted data objects and links, including interconnecting data objects and links that interconnect a first music track data object for the first music track and a second music track data object for the second music track via a shared data object that is shared between the model for the first music track and the model for the second music track, is selected. The interconnecting data objects and links are processed to manufacture disc jockey commentary that joins the first music track and the second music track. | 11-20-2008 |
