    摘要: This invention provides a comprehensive solution which comprises the production of a bed of ash-containing hot char via the pyrolysis of coal which generates a hydrogen rich gas that, subsequent to its cleanup, can be synthesized into chemicals and/or transportation fuels, while the hot char is used to: (i) reduce SO2 and NOX to elemental sulfur and to elemental nitrogen, respectively; (ii) react hot char with CO2 to reduce it to CO, a valuable chemical that can be converted into fertilizer or into a fuel gas that can be used for electric or thermal power generation; (iii) trap particulate matter in the bed of char to join the ash in the char to form a combined ash which is eventually converted to inert slag; and (iv) filter the mercury through a portion of the char to prevent it from being emitted into the atmosphere.

    摘要: A method for co-producing electric power and urea from carbonaceous fuels such as coal, by pyrolizing the coal with oxygen to produce a raw rich gas and a hot char which is gasified with air to produce a raw lean gas. Subsequent to the cleaning of the two gases, the cleaned rich gas is made up of CO and 2H2, and the clean lean gas is made up of N2+CO. The CO in the rich gas is separated from the 2H2 and is added to the lean gas to enrich it with CO to become a lean fuel gas which fuels a gas turbine and is part of a combined cycle system which efficiently generates electric power while exhausting an off-gas (flue gas) made up of N2+CO2. The 2H2 separated from the CO, and the N2+CO2 of the exhausted flue gas are together synthesized to produce urea —CO(NH2)2. To augment the 2H2 in order to make the process more efficient, steam is extracted from the power generation system, mixed with the 2H2, and electrolyzed in a high-temperature electrolysis system prior to the synthesis step with the electrical energy required for the electrolysis being derived from the combined cycle power generation source. This approach will consume the CO2 in a beneficial manner by co-producing an added-value, useful by-product while at the same time obviating the necessity of collecting CO2 and sequestering it, which is an inefficient way of mitigating the effect of global warming caused by CO2.

    摘要: The present invention consists of an improved method and apparatus to upgrade bitumen in various forms which comprises four main components; namely, a fractionator equipped with a condenser, a heavy gas oil catalytic treater, a catalyst regenerator/gasifier and a gas cleanup assembly. In operation, the bitumen in liquid form is fed to the fractionator for initial separation of fractions with the bulk of the bitumen leaving the bottom of the fractionator in the form of a heavy gas oil which is pumped to the catalytic treater and sprayed on a hot catalyst to crack the heavy gas oil (an endothermic reaction) to release lighter hydrocarbons in the form of H2 rich volatile matter while depositing carbon on the catalyst. The volatile matter from the treater is directed to the fractionator where the condensable fractions are separated from the non-condensable H2 rich gas, a valuable primary gas. The carbon containing catalyst from the treater is recycled to the regenerator/gasifier, and the catalyst after being regenerated (an exothermic reaction) is fed hot to the treater. Various fractions are removed from the fractionator as intermediates in the form of light napthas and light oils. The off-gas from the regenerator/gasifier is directed to a gas cleanup system to produce a valuable secondary gas. Both the primary gas and the secondary gas may be further utilized in the processing of the intermediates produced by the method, the primary gas being a source of H2 and the secondary gas being a source of thermal energy.

    摘要: An advanced method and facility for growing abundant crops for food together with a sustainable growth of biomass for energy within a farm setting measuring (by way of example) 600 acres and yielding some 180 bushels of corn per acre, amounting to a total farm yield of 108,000 bushels. By increasing the yield of 180 to 270 bushels per acre with drainage, irrigation, and a pond that accepts water in wet weather and dispenses water for irrigation in dry weather, and supplementing with fertilizer, the 108,000 bushels can be produced with only 400 acres, this freeing 200 acres for growing biomass to be harvested and delivered to a centralized processor (preferably in pellet form) and efficiently converts the biomass into a biofuel rich in H2 for transportation such as gasoline and a low-Btu biofuel to generate biopower while co-producing fertilizer to enhance growth of both crops and biomass.
