Filed:

Jul 14, 2015

Appl. No.:

14/799080

Inventors:

- Tarpon Springs FL, US
Mike Rodriguez - Safety Harbor FL, US
Scott Marton - Tarpon Springs FL, US
Richard Conz - Seminole FL, US

International Classification:

C10L 3/00
B01J 19/08

Abstract:

A system for producing a gas includes a pressure vessel containing in its interior a feedstock that is oil-based and at least one set of electrodes in which an electric arc is formed between the electrodes. The system includes a mechanism for exposing the feedstock to a plasma of the electric arc thereby converting at least some of the feedstock into a gas. The gas comprises from 50-60% hydrogen, from 9-16% ethane, from 8-12% carbon monoxide, from 5-12% ethylene, from 3-8% methane, from 2-3% other trace gases, and from 1-2% carbon dioxide (all % Vol/Vol).

International Classification:

B01J 19/08

Abstract:

A system for producing a gas includes a reactor (pressure vessel) containing in its interior a feedstock and a set of electrodes. A computer is operatively interfaced to a power supply, the power supply providing power to the electrodes. Software stored in a non-transitory storage that is accessed by the computer, runs on the computer and accepts operator control commands. Responsive to the operator control commands, the software instructs the computer to control the power supply and form an electric arc between electrodes. The software controls a pump to flow the feedstock through a plasma of the electric arc. The electric arc converts at least some of the feedstock into a gas. The gas is collected for later use. The software reads a level sensor that is interfaced to the reactor. When the level sensor indicates a feedstock level is low, the software initiates flow of additional feedstock into the reactor by way of controlling a second pump.

International Classification:

B01J 19/08
B01J 19/12

Abstract:

A method of exposing a fluid to plasma for the production of a gas includes forming a plasma within a bore within a sleeve, the sleeve having an input end, a central area, and an output end. Fluid flows from the input end of the sleeve, through the bore within the sleeve, and out of the output end of the sleeve at a velocity, such that, bi-products that are released from the fluid by reaction of the fluid with the plasma are flushed out of the sleeve along with gases produced by the fluid being exposed to the plasma and any fluid that remains. At least some of the bi-products that are released from the fluid by the reaction are prevented from accumulating on the sleeve.

US Classification:

204164, 42218621, 42218626

Abstract:

A flow-through electric arc system includes a chamber within an insulated sleeve having an anode at one end of the insulated sleeve and a cathode at a distal end of the insulated sleeve. Fluid flows from an inlet of the chamber, through the insulated sleeve where it is exposed to an electric arc formed between the anode and cathode, and then flows out of an outlet of the chamber. By way of increasing the flow rate of the fluid, bi-products that are released from a reaction of the fluid to the electric arc are flushed by the fluid and at least some of the bi-products are precluded from accumulating on either of the anode, cathode, or both.
