Abstract: Refinement of asphaltene products (e.g. roof shingles) derived either from synthetic usages as well as naturally occurring crude oil in formation that has asphaltene content, is disclosed. The refinement has no need for any energy to be applied, in contrast with methods that produce pyrolytic oil from shingles. The refinement with PRIF derives a certain amount oil per ton of asphaltene product pyrolyzed and, how much by products can also be cleanly recycled, and how each of those constituents can be reused in the multiple ways. A pyrolytic oil-separation process but doing so while consuming minimal energy is disclosed. One intent is remanufacturing asphalt based products back into their natural constituents.

Abstract: Various embodiments and methods of operation and configuring of power converters for providing a controlled amount of AC output current even as a particular load may at times approach zero resistance are disclosed. The power converters are configured to tolerate a near-short or full-short circuit load for a brief time, without disabling or tripping any safety-interrupts. The various embodiments are configured to achieve electrical requirements needed for specific chemical reforming processes, such as vaporization of an ionic fluid. The various embodiments unlocks electrolysis using AC power, thereby enabling AC electrolysis in common fluids.
