FUEL PRODUCTION SYSTEM AND FUEL PRODUCTION METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18479121 titled 'FUEL PRODUCTION SYSTEM AND FUEL PRODUCTION METHOD
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a fuel production system and method that efficiently adjusts the composition of synthesis gas by supplying hydrogen, while reducing the amount of carbon dioxide generated. The system includes a gasification furnace, a liquid fuel production device, a hydrogen supply pump, a byproduct sensor, and a controller.
- Gasification furnace gasifies biomass raw material to produce synthesis gas with hydrogen and carbon monoxide.
- Liquid fuel production device converts the synthesis gas into liquid fuel.
- Hydrogen supply pump delivers hydrogen to the raw material supply area or synthesis gas discharge area.
- Byproduct sensor detects the amount of byproduct generated in the gasification furnace.
- Controller switches the hydrogen supply location based on the byproduct amount detected by the sensor.
Potential Applications
The technology can be applied in the production of renewable liquid fuels from biomass, reducing carbon emissions and promoting sustainable energy sources.
Problems Solved
This technology addresses the challenge of adjusting synthesis gas composition efficiently with hydrogen supply while minimizing carbon dioxide emissions in the fuel production process.
Benefits
The system offers a more sustainable and environmentally friendly method for producing liquid fuels from biomass, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and lowering carbon footprint.
Potential Commercial Applications
Potential commercial applications include biofuel production facilities, renewable energy companies, and industries seeking to reduce their carbon emissions through sustainable fuel production.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of hydrogen in gasification processes to improve the quality of synthesis gas and reduce carbon emissions.
Unanswered Questions
1. How does the system ensure the efficient utilization of hydrogen in the fuel production process? 2. What are the specific types of biomass raw materials that can be effectively gasified in the system for liquid fuel production?
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.
