Patent number: 10286431Abstract: A multi-stage product gas generation system converts a carbonaceous material, such as municipal solid waste, into a product gas which may subsequently be converted into a liquid fuel or other material. One or more reactors containing bed material may be used to conduct reactions to effect the conversions. Unreacted inert feedstock contaminants present in the carbonaceous material may be separated from bed material using a portion of the product gas. A heat transfer medium collecting heat from a reaction in one stage may be applied as a reactant input in another, earlier stage.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2016Date of Patent: May 14, 2019Assignee: ThermoChem Recovery International, Inc.Inventors: Ravi Chandran, Daniel A. Burciaga, Daniel Michael Leo, Shawn Robert Freitas, Dave G. Newport, Justin Kevin Miller, Kaitlin Emily Harrington, Brian Christopher Attwood

Publication number: 20190037792Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a new and distinct hybrid plant named ‘Mrs. Grass Weedly’ characterized by a hybrid between Cannabis sativa L. ssp. Sativa×Cannabis sativa L. ssp. Indica (Lam.), characterized by a Cannabis sativa L. ssp. Sativa content ranging from 14.44 weight percent to 74.8 weight percent, Cannabis sativa L. ssp. Indica (Lam.) content ranging from 18.48 weight percent to 74.8 weight percent, a cannabidiol content ranging from 0.000011 weight percent to 22.22 weight percent, a tetrahydrocannabinol ranging from 2 weigh percent to 66 weigh percent, and a volatiles content ranging from between 15 weight percent to 88 weight percent. Variable-scale, modular, easily manufacturable, energy efficient, reliable, and computer-operated farming superstructure systems (FSS) may be used to produce Mrs. Grass Weedly for human consumption with minimal water and environmental impact. A FSS system may comprise modules including liquid distribution and plant growing.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 2, 2017Publication date: February 7, 2019Applicant: INSECTERGY, LLCInventors: Daniel Michael Leo, Shawn Robert Freitas

Patent number: 10197015Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2016Date of Patent: February 5, 2019Assignee: ThermoChem Recovery International, Inc.Inventors: Ravi Chandran, Daniel A. Burciaga, Daniel Michael Leo, Shawn Robert Freitas, Dave G. Newport, Justin Kevin Miller, Kaitlin Emily Harrington, Brian Christopher Attwood, Emily Jane Schultheis, Kelly Ann Kishton
