Abstract
A system and method for automated blending of hydrogen gas with traditional fuels, such as natural gas, to produce a consistent stream of precision-blended flow with a single customizable, movable and modular unit that is automatically controlled, is disclosed. The system and method includes a self-contained modular unit, automatic flow control computers and systems, which are configured to automatically adjust the hydrogen blend for variable flow and pressures present in an existing distribution system, varying hydrogen and natural gas flow rates to maintain a repeatable percentage of hydrogen without manual operation.
Claims10
A system for blending hydrogen gas to produce a usable fuel, the system comprising:
- a plurality of pipe segments;
- one or more system controller;
- and
- a plurality of valves detachably connected to the plurality of pipe segments, the plurality of valves controlled by the system controller;
- wherein the system controller automatically controls in real-time active flow of natural gas and active flow of hydrogen gas through the plurality of pipe segments to blend the hydrogen gas with the natural gas at a consistent blend of natural gas to hydrogen gas to produce a consistent stream of usable fuel.
