Patent number: 12168609Abstract: The present invention describes an improved catalytic reactor system with an improved catalyst that transforms CO2 and low carbon H2 into low-carbon syngas with greater than an 80% CO2 conversion efficiency, resulting in the reduction of plant capital and operating costs compared to processes described in the current art. The inside surface of the adiabatic catalytic reactors is lined with an insulating, non-reactive surface which does not react with the syngas and effect catalyst performance. The improved catalyst is robust, has a high CO2 conversion efficiency, and exhibits little or no degradation in performance over long periods of operation. The low-carbon syngas is used to produce low-carbon fuels (e.g., diesel fuel, jet fuel, gasoline, kerosene, others), chemicals, and other products resulting in a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions compared to fossil fuel derived products.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2021Date of Patent: December 17, 2024Assignee: Infinium Technology, LLCInventors: Dennis Schuetzle, Robert Schuetzle, Orion Hanbury, Matthew Caldwell, Glenn McGinnis, Ramer Rodriguez

Publication number: 20230340347Abstract: Syngas and liquid hydrocarbons are produced from synthesis gas. The synthesis gas is produced from a feed mixture of hydrogen and carbon dioxide. The feed mixture is heated to the reverse water gas shift (RWGS) reactor inlet temperature of 1400 to 1800° F. or even more preferred to a RWGS reactor inlet temperature of 1550 to 1650° F. Some of the heat required to heat the feed mixture to the RWGS inlet temperature is supplied by the oxyfuel combustion of hydrogen or fuel with oxygen and minimizes the load onto electrical heaters or need for gas fired geaters. The high inlet temperature allows a high conversion of carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide. Various fuels can be used including hydrogen, hydrocarbons, oxygenates, or carbon monoxide can be used as combustion fuel. The carbon monoxide produced can further be reacted with hydrogen to produce hydrocarbon fuels and chemicals.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 14, 2023Publication date: October 26, 2023Applicant: Infinium Technology, LLCInventors: JAMES BUCHER, MATTHEW CALDWELL, ORION HANBURY, ROBERT SCHUETZLE, DENNIS SCHUETZLE, ANJA RUMPLECKER GALLOWAY
