Abstract: A process to optimize carbon from carbon dioxide in synthesis gas used to produce synthetic chemicals and fuels. The process involves using captured carbon dioxide from any source and controlling its reformation with gaseous hydrocarbons to produce a synthesis gas with a specific carbon monoxide to hydrogen ratio suitable for selected intermediate and end products. The carbon from carbon dioxide displaces fossil carbon and lowers the carbon intensity of the products. The process uses any hydrocarbon gas, fossil or renewable, and may utilize steam to optimize the synthesis gas composition. The invention also includes recycling gases and the generation of heat, steam and electrical power for the reformer and other equipment, significantly reducing the carbon footprint of the plant.

Abstract: This invention describes a method to extract and separate compounds from plant or animal material in a continuous process. The method uses dimethyl ether as a safe and efficient solvent which will extract polar and non-polar compounds. The extracted compounds are separated by distillation which is configured to provide individual compounds or groups of compounds.

Abstract: A process to efficiently convert organic feedstock material into liquid non-oxygenated hydrocarbons in the C5 to C12 carbon skeleton range is disclosed. The process can utilize gaseous, liquid or solid organic feedstocks containing carbon, hydrogen and, optionally, oxygen. The feedstock may require preparation of the organic feedstock for the process and is converted first into a synthesis gas containing carbon monoxide and hydrogen. The synthesis gas is then cleaned and conditioned and extraneous components removed, leaving substantially only the carbon monoxide and hydrogen. It is then converted via a series of chemical reactions into the desired liquid hydrocarbons. The hydrocarbons are suitable for combustion in a vehicle engine and may be regarded a replacement for petrol made from fossil fuels in the C5 to C12 carbon backbone range.

Abstract: The process for producing a predetermined CXHYOZ product from a primary feedstock containing hydrocarbons and a secondary feedstock is disclosed, wherein X, Y and Z are integers. The process includes the steps of: providing primary feedstock;, indirectly heating it generally in the absence of oxygen.; cleaning the gas stream produced therefrom by removing CO2 and solids; determining the amount of CO and H2 therein; comparing the percentage of CO and H2 in the cleaned gas stream with the required CO and H2 to produce the predetermined CXHYOZ product; determining the additional of CO and H2 required; determining the secondary feedstock; calculating the amount of CO, H2 and heat produced from the secondary feedstock; partially oxidizing the secondary feedstock to produce heat and a secondary gas stream; combining the CO and H2 from both feedstocks to produce a mixed gas stream; adding a catalyst; and distilling to produce the predetermined CXHYOZ product.
