FUEL PRODUCTION SYSTEM AND FUEL PRODUCTION METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18479120 titled 'FUEL PRODUCTION SYSTEM AND FUEL PRODUCTION METHOD
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a fuel production system and method that efficiently adjusts the composition of synthesis gas by supplying hydrogen, while minimizing carbon dioxide generation.
- Gasification furnace: gasifies biomass raw material to produce synthesis gas with hydrogen and carbon monoxide.
- Liquid fuel production device: converts synthesis gas from the gasification furnace into liquid fuel.
- Hydrogen supply pump: supplies hydrogen to the raw material supply area or synthesis gas discharge area.
- Temperature sensor: detects the temperature of the gasification furnace.
- Controller: switches the hydrogen supply location based on the temperature detected by the temperature sensor.
Potential Applications
The technology can be applied in the production of liquid fuels from biomass raw materials, reducing carbon dioxide emissions in the process.
Problems Solved
This innovation addresses the challenge of adjusting synthesis gas composition efficiently with hydrogen supply while minimizing carbon dioxide generation.
Benefits
The system offers a more sustainable and environmentally friendly method of producing liquid fuels from biomass, contributing to reduced carbon emissions.
Potential Commercial Applications
The technology could be utilized in the biofuel industry for the production of sustainable liquid fuels from biomass sources.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be systems for biomass gasification and liquid fuel production, but without the specific feature of adjusting synthesis gas composition with hydrogen supply.
Unanswered Questions
How does the system handle variations in biomass raw material composition?
The abstract does not provide information on how the system accommodates changes in the composition of the biomass raw material used for gasification.
What is the energy efficiency of the fuel production process?
The abstract does not mention the energy efficiency of the system in converting biomass into liquid fuel.
Original Abstract Submitted
A fuel production system and a fuel production method are provided which can efficiently perform adjusting of a synthesis gas composition by hydrogen supply, while suppressing the generated amount of carbon dioxide by a system overall. A fuel production system includes: a gasification furnace which gasifies a biomass raw material to generate a synthesis gas containing hydrogen and carbon monoxide; a liquid fuel production device which produces a liquid fuel from the synthesis gas generated by the gasification furnace; a hydrogen supply pump which supplies hydrogen to a raw material supply area or a synthesis gas discharge area; a temperature sensor which detects a temperature of the gasification furnace; and a controller which switches a hydrogen supply location by the hydrogen supply pump between the raw material supply area and synthesis gas discharge area, based on the temperature detected by the temperature sensor.
