Abstract
A method including obtaining biogas, treated water and oxygen from sewage and various wastes; feeding a boiler: in a first step, with biogas and oxygen, and in a second step, with treated water supplied at a very high pressure to the injectors of the boiler, while maintaining an input of biogas; producing superheated steam at a temperature above 650° C. and low humidity in a heat exchanger heated by the boiler; driving, by the produced steam, a steam turbine connected to an electric generator; and condensing the steam from the turbine and recirculating it to the heat exchanger.
Claims3
A method for generating thermal and electrical power from different wastes of the type comprising the use of a boiler to produce steam and feed said steam to a steam turbine that is connected to a generator:
- characterized in that it comprises:
- receiving sewage (AR) and various domestic and/or industrial wastes (RD) separately;
- purifying the sewage by separating solid wastes contained therein and processing the purified water to obtain treated water;
- obtaining hydrogen and oxygen from a portion of the treated water through an electrolysis process;
- obtaining biogas by a bio-digestion process of the organic fraction of the various wastes and from the solid wastes separated from the sewage;
- feeding a boiler:
- in a first step, with biogas and oxygen previously obtained from the wastes and the electrolysis process, until reaching a temperature of 600° C.;
- and in a second step, with treated water supplied at very high pressure to the boiler nozzles, retaining a minimum input of biogas, until reaching a temperature of 1200° C.
- producing superheated steam at a temperature above 650° C. and low humidity in a heat exchanger heated by the boiler;
- driving, by means of the steam produced, a steam turbine connected to an electric generator;
- condensing a certain volume of steam from the turbine and recirculating it to the heat exchanger to reuse it in a closed circuit, using the remaining steam from the turbine to raise the temperature of the water at the entrance of the electrolyser;
- and
- increasing the hydrogen production by processing the biogas that has not been necessary to input to the boiler for proper operation.
