Appl. No.:

10/008501

Inventors:

Paul R. Dodge - Mesa AZ, US
Robert S. McCarty - Phoenix AZ, US
Doug Rogers - Visalia CA, US
Gail Rogers - San Gabriel CA, US

Assignee:

Vericor Power Systems - Alpharetta GA

International Classification:

F02G 3/00
F02B 43/00
F23D 14/00
B01D 53/34

US Classification:

60772, 60 3912, 60 3927, 60731, 60733, 422182, 431 5

Abstract:

A system for the destruction of volatile organic compounds while generating power. In a preferred embodiment the system comprises a combustor and a reaction chamber connected to an exit of the combustor. A primary inlet to the combustor supplies a primary fuel to the combustor. A secondary fuel, comprising air and an amount of one or more volatile organic compounds, is supplied to a compressor, which compresses the secondary fuel and directs the secondary fuel to the combustor and the reaction chamber. The system is suitably configured to enable the stoichiometric reaction of the two fuels in a manner sufficient to destroy the volatile organic compounds contained in the secondary fuel and power a turbine engine connected to an exit of the reaction chamber.
