  • Patent number: 8702418
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method for generating heat energy includes injecting a stream having a concentration of at least 50% oxygen (O2 stream) into a primary gas stream through a mixer, the mixer discharging the O2 stream as two or more spaced jets traversing the primary stream, thereby enriching the primary gas stream. The method further includes mixing fuel with the enriched primary gas stream, thereby forming a fuel stream; and combusting the fuel stream, thereby forming a flue gas stream.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 21, 2012
    Date of Patent: April 22, 2014
    Assignee: L'Air Liquide, Societe Anonyme pour l'Etude et l'Exploitation des Procedes Georges Claude
    Inventors: M. Usman Ghani, Florian Gautier, Rajani K. Varagani, Susie Levesque, Bernard Labegorre, Frederic Camy-Peyret, Sylvain Grillon, Pavol Pranda
