  • Flameless thermal oxidizer for oxidizing gaseous effluent streams containing hydrogen gas
    Patent number: 10895380
    Abstract: A method for oxidizing a waste stream having hydrogen therein includes flowing the waste stream with hydrogen into an oxidant stream for mixing the streams in a proportion for providing a mixture below lower flammability limits (LFL), including the LFL of hydrogen; and introducing the mixed streams into a ceramic matrix bed of a flameless thermal oxidizer maintained at a temperature above auto-ignition temperature of the mixture. A related apparatus is also provided.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 11, 2019
    Date of Patent: January 19, 2021
    Assignee: LINDE ENGINEERING NORTH AMERICA INC.
    Inventors: Shailendra Inamdar, Eric Predatsch, Gene H. Irrgang, Steven Korn

  • Flameless thermal oxidizer for oxidizing gaseous effluent streams containing hydrogen gas
    Patent number: 10272385
    Abstract: A flameless thermal oxidizer apparatus for a gaseous stream containing hydrogen includes a vessel containing a ceramic matrix bed; and a dip tube extending into the ceramic matrix bed, the dip tube including a first flow path for a first stream having hydrogen therein, and a second flow path for a second stream having an oxidant therein to be mixed with the first stream for introduction into the ceramic matrix bed. A related method is also provided.
