  • Publication number: 20230407197
    Abstract: A feedstock delivery system transfers a carbonaceous material, such as municipal solid waste, into a product gas generation system. The feedstock delivery system includes a splitter for splitting bulk carbonaceous material into a plurality of carbonaceous material streams. Each stream is processed using a weighing system for gauging the quantity of carbonaceous material, a densification system for forming plugs of carbonaceous material, a de-densification system for breaking up the plugs of carbonaceous material, and a gas and carbonaceous material mixing system for forming a carbonaceous material and gas mixture. A pressure of the mixing gas is reduced prior to mixing with the carbonaceous material, and the carbonaceous material to gas weight ratio is monitored. A transport assembly conveys the carbonaceous material and gas mixture to a first reactor where at least the carbonaceous material within the mixture is subject to thermochemical reactions to form the product gas.

  • Publication number: 20230391618
    Abstract: A system and method for processing unconditioned syngas first removes solids and semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOC), then removes volatile organic compounds (VOC), and then removes at least one sulfur containing compound from the syngas. Additional processing may be performed depending on such factors as the source of syngas being processed, the products, byproducts and intermediate products desired to be formed, captured or recycled and environmental considerations.

  • Patent number: 11830089
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products for maintaining a collection of ecosystem credit tokens based on modelled outcomes are provided. In various embodiments, an ecosystem attribute target profile for the collection of ecosystem credit tokens is accessed. The target profile comprises a set of ecosystem characteristics, quantities of one or more ecosystem characteristics, and permanence of one or more ecosystem characteristics. A set of ecosystem credit tokens is accessed, wherein each ecosystem credit token data record comprises one or more of: a validated and verified management event, a methodology, an ecosystem attribute, a boundary, an ecosystem impact, an ecosystem credit, and an ecosystem attribute quantification method. A current profile of the collection of ecosystem credit tokens is determined, wherein the profile comprises the set of ecosystem characteristics within the collection, quantities of ecosystem characteristics, and permanence of ecosystem characteristics.

  • Publication number: 20230359039
    Abstract: A display and method for providing an image to an eye of a viewer is provided. The display comprises at least two projector assemblies. Each projector assembly comprises a lightguide optical element (LOE), and an image projector arrangement for generating a partial image and being deployed to introduce the partial image into the LOE for coupling out towards the eye of the viewer. The at least two projector assemblies cooperate to display the image to the eye of the viewer with partial overlap. The display further comprises a controller associated with the image projector arrangements and configured to reduce a pixel intensity of selected pixels in a region of partial overlap between the first and second part of the image so as to enhance a perceived uniformity of the image.

  • Patent number: 11810021
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products for recommending farming practices based on modelled outcomes are provided. In various embodiments, field data comprising geospatial boundaries of one or more field are received. Management event data comprising one or more management events within the one or more fields is received. For each management event, a management event boundary defining geospatial boundaries is received, and one or more management zones is determined based on the management event boundaries. The determination of one or more management zones comprises sequentially intersecting a geospatial boundary. Each sequential intersection operation creating two branches, one with the intersection of the geometries and one with the difference.

  • Patent number: 11760949
    Abstract: A two-stage syngas production method to produce a final product gas from a carbonaceous material includes producing a first product gas in a first reactor, separating char from the first product gas to produce separated char and char-depleted product gas, and separately reacting the separated char and the char-depleted product gas with an oxygen-containing gas in a second reactor to produce a final product gas. The separated char is introduced into the second reactor above the char-depleted product gas. The solids separation device may include serially connected cyclones, and the separated char may be entrained in a motive fluid in an eductor to produce a char and motive fluid mixture prior to being transferred to the second reactor. A biorefinery method produces a purified product from the final product gas.
