The system contained within this application for non-provisional patent protection provides the ability to convert municipal solid waste materials, used tires, various biomass including wood chips and other agricultural waste, and the addition of coal into synthesis gas (syngas), with oxygen as plasma gas. The system will accommodate the possibility for variation in feedstock co-gasification of the various materials with plasma torches that will be embedded in a plasma gasification unit. One converted into synthesis gas (syngas), the syngas will be cleaned of acid gases and carbon dioxide (CO2). Carbon dioxide will be captured and converted for various industrial applications instead of being released into the atmosphere. Clean syngas generated by the system will become the gas fuel for various energy solutions including clean electricity, as substitute for natural gas, and ultra clean FT synthetic fuels.
The complete process of Waste Materials, Coal, Used Tires and Biomass Conversion to Alternative Energy and Synthetic Fuels Solutions System with Carbon Dioxide Capture and Liquefaction with the following elements:—
The gasification of municipal waste solid waste, coal, used tires and biomass, as co feeds, individually, and concurrently, with multiple plasma torches and with oxygen as gasifier gas for the production of syngas.
The use of water gas shift with, and without electrolysis in the syngas stream to attain gas equilibrium, and enrich syngas with additional hydrogen.
An acid gas cleanup system comprising of packed bed wet scrubbers with sodium hydroxide solution for hydrochloric acid removal
After capture through the use of cold methanol as a solvent, the captured CO2 will be pressurized to a minimum of 5.1 atm, and the temperature maintained at below 87° Fahrenheit to ensure that the captured CO2 will remain in a liquid state.
The addition of gas turbine generators, which will be fed by system generated syngas, will supply internal electrical power for the plasma torches and others electrical users within the whole system.
This claim is for the processing of clean syngas as a substitute for natural gas, and for other commercial/industrial applications including the conversion to compressed natural gas CNG.
System generated clean syngas with H2:CO ratio of over 1.0 exceeds the required syngas composition essential for FT synthesis, thereby enabling the production of ultra clean Fischer Tropsch synthetic fuels.
