  • Patent number: 10436525
    Abstract: Fractionation, the process used by refineries to break down carbon chains of petroleum compounds so that the desired carbon compound can be achieved. This process typically involves high heat, distillation, re-boiling, and energy intensive cooling processes. This application discloses an invention that will condense vapor produced by a pyrolysis reactor. This system uses one standard cyclone; three cascading cyclones with internal cyclonic rotation fins that force incoming vapor to maintain a fixed amount of rotation regardless of the vapor's velocity, heat sinks that increase condensation, reversing fins that force gases to reverse direction inside the cyclone decreasing vapor velocity to increase heat loss; a main collection tank that allows for the controlling of the fuel flash point; a compact low temperature coil cooler that uses 100 percent of the cooling surface that allows for the production of higher quality fuel; and, bubblers/scrubbers that produce back pressure into the pyrolysis reactor.

  • Patent number: 9701593
    Abstract: A CO2 conversion system includes at least a first reactor including a gas mixing tube, a spark ignition system for generating sparks in the gas mixing tube coupled to a catalyst chamber having a catalyst therein coupled to a reaction chamber. Inlet tubes each with gas flow control valves are for injecting process gases including O2, H2 and CO2 into the gas mixing tube, wherein the process gases react in the reaction chamber in at least one chemical reaction to form reaction products including output gases including CH4 and reaction heat. A process controller utilizes at a process temperature setpoint or a criteria for an output gas to control a temperature in the catalyst chamber to maintain the process temperature setpoint or output gas criteria by adjusting gas flow control valves for changing the mass flow of at least one process gas to reduce a heat from the chemical reaction.
