  • METHOD FOR THE GASIFICATION OF HYDROCARBON FEEDSTOCKS
    Publication number: 20070256361
    Abstract: A method for the gasification of a hydrocarbon-bearing feedstock to produce useful co-products such as high-value hydrocarbon fuels, pure H2, electricity, and/or ammonia. The method advantageously gasifies the carbon in the feedstock to carbon monoxide (CO) without producing large quantities of carbon dioxide (CO2). Supplemental hydrogen (H2) is also produced by reacting steam (H2O) with a metal. The method can advantageously produce two separate syngas streams, one that is CO-rich and one that is H2-rich.

  • METHOD FOR THE GASIFICATION OF MOISTURE-CONTAINING HYDROCARBON FEEDSTOCKS
    Publication number: 20070256360
    Abstract: A method for the gasification of a hydrocarbon feedstock that has a high moisture content to produce useful co-products such as high-value hydrocarbon fuels, pure H2, electricity, and/or ammonia. The method advantageously gasifies the carbon in the feedstock to carbon monoxide (CO) without producing large quantities of carbon dioxide (CO2). Supplemental hydrogen (H2) is co-produced by reacting steam (H2O) generated from the moisture in the hydrocarbon feedstock with a molten metal.

  • Method for the production of hydrogen-containing gaseous mixtures
    Publication number: 20070060659
    Abstract: A method for the production of a hydrogen-containing gas composition, such as a synthesis gas including hydrogen and carbon monoxide. The molar ratio of hydrogen to carbon monoxide (H2:CO) in the synthesis gas can be well-controlled to yield a ratio that is adequate for the synthesis of useful products such as methane or methanol, without the need to remove carbon oxides from the gas stream to adjust the ratio.
