HYDROCARBON RECLAMATOR
A hydrocarbon reclamator consists of a closed chamber having an exhaust inlet port, a hydrogen inlet port, and a hydrocarbon outlet port. A magnetic flux is generated at the base of the closed chamber and a rotor is suspended by the magnetic flux within the closed chamber. The rotor is formed as a Tesla turbine having axially spaced discs concentrically mounted on a central shaft, a catalyst is formed on surfaces of the discs, and flow holes are formed through the discs. Venturi forces direct gas to release kinetic energy against the discs, so that hydrogen entering the chamber combines with carbon entering the chamber to form a hydrocarbon that exits the chamber via the hydrocarbon outlet port.
Feedstock processing systems and methods for producing fischer-tropsch liquids and transportation fuels
A method for processing feedstock is described, characterized in that incoming feedstock is processed to selectively recover biogenic carbon material from the incoming feedstock. In some embodiments the incoming feedstock is comprised of mixed solid waste, such as municipal solid waste (MSW). In other embodiments the incoming feedstock is comprised of woody biomass. In some instances, the incoming feedstock is processed to selectively recover biogenic carbon material from the incoming feedstock to produce a processed feedstock having biogenic carbon content of 50% and greater suitable for conversion into biogenic carbon Fischer Tropsch liquids. The high biogenic carbon Fischer Tropsch liquids may be upgraded to biogenic carbon liquid fuels. Alternatively, the incoming feedstock is processed to selectively recover plastic material from the incoming feedstock to produce a processed feedstock having biogenic carbon content of 50% or less.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TREATING FLUE GAS OF BOILER BASED ON SOLAR ENERGY
A system and method for treating flue gas of a boiler based on solar energy are provided, wherein a heat pump is connected with a heat collector via first and second valves, a carbon dioxide electrolysis chamber is connected with a flue gas pretreatment chamber and a power distribution control module for electrolyzing and reducing carbon dioxide, a gas phase separation chamber is connected with a gas phase outlet to separate a mixture, and discharge the separated gas phase products; a Fischer-Tropsch reaction chamber is connected with the gas phase separation chamber to pass the separated carbon monoxide and hydrogen into a flowing reaction cell, a liquid phase product separation chamber is connected with a liquid phase outlet to separate the liquid phase hydrocarbon fuel products, and separate and supplement electrolyte; an electrolyte cooling circulation chamber is connected with the liquid phase product separation chamber.
Syngas generation for gas-to-liquid fuel conversion
A syngas generator is disclosed as an exothermic gas generator that can accommodate high combustion temperatures of a natural gas/oxygen flame. The generator consists of four sections: a heavily insulated combustion chamber, a catalyst chamber, a spray chamber, and a heat exchanger. These four sections may be arranged in series and tightly bolted together to form a gas-tight system. Natural gas, oxygen and steam are supplied to a burner at the inlet end of the combustion chamber. This mixture is ignited and the resulting hot process gas is then fed into a catalyst bed where it reacts with the steam and is converted to carbon monoxide and hydrogen (syngas). The syngas is fed to a Fischer-Tropsch unit to create liquid fuel.
PROCESSES AND SYSTEMS FOR PRODUCING HYDROCARBON FUELS HAVING HIGH CARBON CONVERSION EFFICIENCY
The present disclosure relates to a processes and systems for producing fuels from biomass with high carbon conversion efficiency. The processes and systems described herein provide a highly efficient process for producing hydrocarbons from biomass with very low Green House Gas (GHG) emissions using a specific combination of components, process flows, and recycle streams. The processes and systems described herein provide a carbon conversion efficiency greater than 95% with little to no GHG in the flue gas due to the novel arrangement of components and utilizes renewable energy to provide energy to some components. The system reuses water and carbon dioxide produced in the process flows and recycles naphtha and tail gas streams to other units in the system for additional conversion to syngas to produce hydrocarbon-based fuels.
