FUEL PRODUCTION SYSTEM AND FUEL PRODUCTION METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240110108 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 the production of carbon dioxide. The system includes a gasification furnace, a liquid fuel production device, a hydrogen supply pump, a byproduct sensor, and a controller.

  • Gasification furnace for converting biomass raw material into synthesis gas
  • Liquid fuel production device for producing liquid fuel from the synthesis gas
  • Hydrogen supply pump for supplying hydrogen to different areas based on byproduct detection
  • Byproduct sensor for detecting the amount of byproduct generated
  • Controller for switching hydrogen supply location based on byproduct amount

Potential Applications

The technology can be applied in the production of liquid fuels from biomass raw materials, reducing carbon dioxide emissions and increasing fuel efficiency.

Problems Solved

1. Efficiently adjusting synthesis gas composition 2. Minimizing carbon dioxide generation

Benefits

1. Increased fuel production efficiency 2. Reduced carbon dioxide emissions 3. Optimal use of biomass raw materials

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing fuel production processes for industries such as biofuel production, energy generation, and chemical manufacturing.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be systems that adjust gas composition in fuel production processes, but may not specifically focus on hydrogen supply for this purpose.

Unanswered Questions

1. What specific types of biomass raw materials are most suitable for this fuel production system? 2. How does the system ensure the quality and purity of the liquid fuel produced?


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 byproduct sensor which detects a byproduct amount generated inside 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 byproduct amount detected by the byproduct sensor.
