摘要:
Heat is reclaimed from a high temperature gasifier exhaust gas of between 250° C. and 20000C. A first duct receives the exhaust gas, and outputs it at a reduced temperature. A second duct receives a heat transfer fluid and outputs it at an elevated temperature. A heat transfer arrangement conducts heat extracted from the product gas to the heat transfer fluid (steam), thereby elevating the temperature of the heat transfer fluid. A heat pipe formed of sodium, potassium, rubidium, or lithium, has a first end for communicating with the high temperature exhaust gas and a second end for communicating with the heat transfer fluid. The heat pipe has an envelope formed of a selectable combination of stainless steel, Inconel, nickel, molybdenum, tungsten, niobium, carbon, carbon composite, and Hastelloy X, and a safety valve that ensures safe operation. An adiabatic zone is interposed between the first and second ducts.
摘要:
A method and system for cost effectively converting a feedstock using thermal plasma or other styles of gassifiers, into an energy transfer medium using a blended gaseous fuel. The feedstock can be any organic material or inorganic combination to generate a syngas. The syngas is blended with any fuel of a higher thermal content (BTU) than the syngas. The resulting blended high thermal content fuel is used on site or reinjected into the fuel supply pipe line. Rock wool and accessory heat are produced to increase the efficiency of the plant.
摘要:
A method and system for augmenting the heat energy of a plasma torch in a gassifier using chemical energy, including the steps of injecting a fuel in the proximity of a plasma torch inside the gassifier chamber; and injecting an oxidant in the proximity of a plasma torch inside the gassifier chamber. As apparatus, an enhanced plasma gassifier arrangement is of the type that has a gassifier chamber having an electrically operated plasma torch for issuing a plasma discharge into the gassifier chamber. A fuel injection arrangement is disposed to surround the electrically operated plasma torch for injecting a fuel and an oxidant into the gassifier chamber. A natural gas inlet delivers natural gas into the gassifier chamber, thereby enhancing the temperature within the gassifier chamber.

A system for treating an exhaust stream issued by a power plant processes the exhaust stream in a methanol reactor. The exhaust stream contains CO and/or CO2, and can be a full stack or a partial stack exhaust stream. The methanol reactor is a pellet style of methanol reactor, and can be a foam or an alpha alumina oxide foam reactor. A plasma chamber generates H2 for reacting in the methanol reactor. A portion of the exhaust stream issued by the power plant is consumed in the plasma chamber. An algae reactor converts sequestered CO2 to O2. The algae is exposed to the exhaust stream to extract nutrients therefrom and thereby augment growth of the algae. The plasma chamber receives at a high temperature region thereof CO that is reduced to its elemental state. Cooling of the exhaust stream and precipitates the methanol to be re-burned as a fuel.

A system for producing a high hydrogen to carbon ratio fuel centered approximately around C9 treats an exhaust stream from a manufacturing plant processes. The exhaust stream is processed in a Fischer Tropsch reactor, and contains CO and/or CO2, which is sequestered, and can be a full stack exhaust stream. The Fischer Tropsch reactor is a pellet style reactor, a foam reactor, or an alpha alumina oxide foam reactor. A plasma chamber generates H2 for reacting in the Fischer Tropsch reactor. A portion of the exhaust stream is consumed in the plasma chamber. An algae reactor converts sequestered CO2 to O2. The algae is exposed to the exhaust stream to extract nutrients therefrom and augment its growth. The plasma chamber receives at a high temperature region thereof CO or CO2 that is reduced to its elemental state. The product stream and fuel are condensed and separated, and re-burned as fuel.
摘要:
A system for generating electrical power employs a reactor for producing a product gas in response to the consumption of a feedstock. A heat reclamation arrangement employs a sodium heat pipe that communicates with the product gas the spent steam to extract heat from the product gas and thereby form heated steam. Heated steam is delivered to a turbine that has an input for receiving the heated steam, an outlet for exhausting spent steam, and a rotatory output. An electrical generator is coupled to the rotatory output of the turbine for producing the electrical energy. A recirculating system returns the spent steam to the heat reclamation arrangement. The fuel provided to the reactor may be any combination of coal, municipal solid waste, biomass, or a non-fossil fuel. Additives serve to neutralize the acid or base content of the product gas. A secondary power generation facility receives the product gas and produces additional electrical power.
