Hydrogen And Elemental Carbon Production From Natural Gas And Other Hydrocarbons

View page
US Patent:
6395197, May 28, 2002
Filed:
Dec 6, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/732451
Inventors:
Brent A. Detering - Idaho Falls ID
Peter C. Kong - Idaho Falls ID
Assignee:
Bechtel BWXT Idaho LLC - Idaho Falls ID
International Classification:
C07C 102
US Classification:
252373, 4234182, 423445 R, 4236481, 423650
Abstract:
Diatomic hydrogen and unsaturated hydrocarbons are produced as reactor gases in a fast quench reactor. During the fast quench, the unsaturated hydrocarbons are further decomposed by reheating the reactor gases. More diatomic hydrogen is produced, along with elemental carbon. Other gas may be added at different stages in the process to form a desired end product and prevent back reactions. The product is a substantially clean-burning hydrogen fuel that leaves no greenhouse gas emissions, and elemental carbon that may be used in powder form as a commodity for several processes.

Fast Quench Reactor And Method

US Patent:
RE37853, Sep 24, 2002
Filed:
May 11, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/569146
Inventors:
Brent A. Detering - Idaho Falls ID
Alan D. Donaldson - Idaho Falls ID
James R. Fincke - Idaho Falls ID
Peter C. Kong - Idaho Falls ID
Assignee:
Betchel BWXT Idaho, LLC - Idaho Falls ID
International Classification:
C22B 406
US Classification:
75 1019, 75 1021, 75 1028, 75346, 266182, 373 18, 420590, 422207, 423289, 423613, 585538
Abstract:
A fast quench reaction includes a reactor chamber having a high temperature heating means such as a plasma torch at its inlet and a restrictive convergent-divergent nozzle at its outlet end. Reactants are injected into the reactor chamber. The resulting heated gaseous stream is then rapidly cooled by passage through the nozzle. This âfreezesâ the desired end product(s) in the heated equilibrium reaction stage.

Plasma Reforming And Partial Oxidation Of Hydrocarbon Fuel Vapor To Produce Synthesis Gas And/Or Hydrogen Gas

View page
US Patent:
6606855, Aug 19, 2003
Filed:
Jun 8, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/590537
Inventors:
Peter C. Kong - Idaho Falls ID
Brent A. Detering - Idaho Falls ID
Assignee:
Bechtel BWXT Idaho, LLC - Idaho Falls ID
International Classification:
F01N 300
US Classification:
60275, 60274, 60283, 123 3, 123DIG 12, 422186, 4221862
Abstract:
Methods and systems for treating vapors from fuels such as gasoline or diesel fuel in an internal combustion engine, to form hydrogen gas or synthesis gas, which can then be burned in the engine to produce more power. Fuel vapor, or a mixture of fuel vapor and exhaust gas and/or air, is contacted with a plasma, to promote reforming reactions between the fuel vapor and exhaust gas to produce carbon monoxide and hydrogen gas, partial oxidation reactions between the fuel vapor and air to produce carbon monoxide and hydrogen gas, or direct hydrogen and carbon particle production from the fuel vapor. The plasma can be a thermal plasma or a non-thermal plasma. The plasma can be produced in a plasma generating device which can be preheated by contact with at least a portion of the hot exhaust gas stream, thereby decreasing the power requirements of the plasma generating device.

Filed:
May 28, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/447565
Inventors:
Peter C. Kong - Idaho Falls ID

60275, 60274, 60283, 60320, 123 1 A, 123 3, 422186, 4221862
Abstract:
Methods and systems are disclosed for treating vapors from fuels such as gasoline or diesel fuel in an internal combustion engine, to form hydrogen gas or synthesis gas, which can then be burned in the engine to produce more power. Fuel vapor, or a mixture of fuel vapor and exhaust gas and/or air, is contacted with a plasma, to promote reforming reactions between the fuel vapor and exhaust gas to produce carbon monoxide and hydrogen gas, partial oxidation reactions between the fuel vapor and air to produce carbon monoxide and hydrogen gas, or direct hydrogen and carbon particle production from the fuel vapor.

Thermal Synthesis Apparatus And Process

US Patent:
6821500, Nov 23, 2004
Filed:
Feb 12, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/781931
Inventors:
James R. Fincke - Idaho Falls ID
Brent A. Detering - Idaho Falls ID
Assignee:
Bechtel BWXT Idaho, LLC - Idaho Falls ID
International Classification:
C22B 406
US Classification:
423650, 75 1019, 75 1021, 75 1028, 75346, 75620, 420590, 422207
Abstract:
An apparatus for thermal conversion of one or more reactants to desired end products includes an insulated reactor chamber having a high temperature heater such as a plasma torch at its inlet end and, optionally, a restrictive convergent-divergent nozzle at its outlet end. In a thermal conversion method, reactants are injected upstream from the reactor chamber and thoroughly mixed with the plasma stream before entering the reactor chamber. The reactor chamber has a reaction zone that is maintained at a substantially uniform temperature. The resulting heated gaseous stream is then rapidly cooled by passage through the nozzle, which âfreezesâ the desired end product(s) in the heated equilibrium reaction stage, or is discharged through an outlet pipe without the convergent-divergent nozzle. The desired end products are then separated from the gaseous stream.

US Patent:
6896854, May 24, 2005
Filed:
Jan 29, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/059669
Inventors:
Peter C. Kong - Idaho Falls ID, US
Lee O. Nelson - Idaho Falls ID, US
Brent A. Detering - Idaho Falls ID, US
Assignee:
Battelle Energy Alliance, LLC - Idaho Falls ID
International Classification:
B01J019/08
US Classification:
4221863, 42218604
Abstract:
A reactor for reactive co-conversion of heavy hydrocarbons and hydrocarbon gases and includes a dielectric barrier discharge plasma cell having a pair of electrodes separated by a dielectric material and passageway therebetween. An inlet is provided for feeding heavy hydrocarbons and other reactive materials to the passageway of the discharge plasma cell, and an outlet is provided for discharging reaction products from the reactor. A packed bed catalyst may optionally be used in the reactor to increase efficiency of conversion. The reactor can be modified to allow use of a variety of light sources for providing ultraviolet light within the discharge plasma cell. Methods for upgrading heavy hydrocarbons are also disclosed.

Filed:
Mar 27, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/109427
Inventors:
Brent A. Detering - Idaho Falls ID, US
Peter C. Kong - Idaho Falls ID, US
Assignee:
Battelle Energy Alliance, LLC - Idaho Falls ID
International Classification:
H05H 1/02
H05H 1/00
B01J 19/08
US Classification:
481279, 48197, 422186, 42218622
Abstract:
A fast-quench reactor for production of diatomic hydrogen and unsaturated carbons is provided. During the fast quench in the downstream diverging section of the nozzle, such as in a free expansion chamber, the unsaturated hydrocarbons are further decomposed by reheating the reactor gases. More diatomic hydrogen is produced, along with elemental carbon. Other gas may be added at different stages in the process to form a desired end product and prevent back reactions. The product is a substantially clean-burning hydrogen fuel that leaves no greenhouse gas emissions, and elemental carbon that may be used in powder form as a commodity for several processes.
