Abstract
This invention relates to a power recovery process in waste steam/CO2 reformers in which a waste stream can be made to release energy without having to burn the waste or the syngas. This invention in some embodiments does not make use of fuel cells as a component but makes use of exothermic chemical reactors using syngas to produce heat, such as Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. It also relates to control or elimination of the emissions of greenhouse gases in the power recovery process of this invention with the goal of producing energy in the future carbonless world economy.
Claims9
A method of reforming of organic waste material, comprising:
- producing a first stream of synthesized hydrocarbon gas including hydrogen and carbon monoxide;
- providing to a waste reforming conversion system a supply of organic waste;
- mixing the organic waste with a first portion of the hydrogen and carbon monoxide from the first stream;
- reforming the mixture of the first stream and the waste with steam and carbon dioxide and producing a second stream of synthesized hydrocarbon gas and heat;
- and
- using a second portion from the second stream for said producing a first stream.
