Patent number: 11939915Abstract: A raw material fluid treatment plant provided with a raw material reaction apparatus for reacting a raw material fluid to form a reaction gas. The raw material reaction apparatus includes preheaters and a reactor. The preheaters are heat exchangers that perform heat exchange between a second heat transfer medium and the raw material fluid to heat the raw material fluid. The reactor is a heat exchanger that performs heat exchange between a first heat transfer medium differing from the second heat transfer medium and the raw material fluid having been heated by the preheaters to heat and react the raw material fluid.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2020Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: MITSUBISHI HEAVY INDUSTRIES, LTD.Inventors: Hideyuki Uechi, Hidefumi Araki, Satoshi Tanimura, Masakazu Nose, Jun Sasahara, Yukio Tanaka, Atsushi Yuasa

Patent number: 11156168Abstract: A gas turbine plant is provided with a gas turbine, a heating device, a decomposition gas line, and a decomposition gas compressor. The heating device heats ammonia and thermally decomposes the ammonia to convert the ammonia into decomposition gas including hydrogen gas and nitrogen gas. The decomposition gas line sends the decomposition gas PG from the heating device to the gas turbine. The decomposition gas compressor increases the pressure of the decomposition gas to a pressure equal to or higher than a feed pressure at which the decomposition gas is allowed to be fed to the gas turbine.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2017Date of Patent: October 26, 2021Assignee: MITSUBISHI POWER, LTD.Inventors: Masakazu Nose, Hideyuki Uechi, Satoshi Tanimura
