International Classification:

C01B 3/00
C01B 3/32

US Classification:

481273, 481277, 481279, 481891, 48197 FM, 431 12

Abstract:

A chemically-modified mixed fuel includes methane gas from at least two methane-production sources and can be utilized in any process that incorporates a Kellogg Primary Reformer. A method for producing the chemically-modified mixed fuel described herein includes providing a first methane-containing gas from a first methane-production source, providing a second methane-containing gas from a second methane-production source and blending the first methane-containing gas with the second methane-containing gas at a suitable pressure to form a chemically-modified mixed fuel. In some cases, at least one additional methane-containing gas can be provided from at least one additional methane-production source and blended with the chemically-modified fuel.

International Classification:

C01B 3/32

US Classification:

481273

Abstract:

A chemically-modified mixed fuel has been produced, wherein at least part of the fuel is a) cost-efficient, b) renewable and/or a consistent resource (e.g. biogenic fuels), c) easy to use, d) easy to transport and e) relatively “clean” with respect to the amount of time/resources it requires to convert the fuel to a “useable” form. Specifically, a chemically-modified mixed fuel has been developed that comprises methane gas from at least two methane-production sources. In addition, this chemically-modified mixed fuel can be utilized in any process that incorporates a Kellogg Primary Reformer. A method for producing the chemically-modified mixed fuel described herein comprises a) providing a first methane-containing gas from a first methane-production source, b) providing a second methane-containing gas from a second methane-production source, c) blending the first methane-containing gas with the second methane-containing gas at a suitable pressure to form a chemically-modified mixed fuel. In additional embodiments, at least one additional methane-containing gas can be provided from at least one additional methane-production source and blended with the chemically-modified fuel.
