Smart overview of the Invention

The patent application introduces a novel method for producing green energy while minimizing emissions and recycling effluent waste streams. The process utilizes a recycling separation system to manage pyrolytic emissions, creating species-specific streams that can be reused for material production or energy generation. This approach aims to achieve near-zero emission levels by consuming or reusing almost all waste streams, thus contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gases and promoting sustainable practices.

Field of Application

Effluent gas streams, typically considered waste in industrial processes, often contain harmful pollutants like hydrocarbons and toxic air contaminants. Conventional methods such as scrubbers and filters attempt to clean these emissions but miss opportunities for reuse. The disclosed technology addresses these limitations by transforming effluent gas streams into valuable resources, thereby reducing reliance on finite energy sources and mitigating environmental impacts.

Technological Breakthrough

The core innovation, termed pyrolytic emissions looping, captures and converts factory emissions into valuable materials while reusing separated species streams. This technology is applicable across various industries, including energy production and manufacturing. By significantly reducing emissions and generating useful materials, the system presents an economically viable solution for industries aiming to lower their environmental footprint.

System Components

The system comprises a feed gas stream, dissociating reactors, and a gas separating system. These components work together to produce carbon allotrope materials and separate emissions into species components for reuse. Different embodiments allow for the decomposition of hydrocarbons without oxygen, increasing the purity of hydrogen produced. The system also includes cold traps and multi-stage separators to enhance efficiency.

Potential Applications

The technology can be implemented at various hydrocarbon sites such as oil fields and coal deposits. It includes provisions for hydrocarbon reduction and abatement, aiming to lower greenhouse gas emissions. The system's adaptability allows it to integrate with existing power generation technologies, further emphasizing its potential as a comprehensive solution for sustainable energy and material production.
