Abstract
The invention comprises a method for controlling feedstock feedback, comprising the steps of: (1) breaking down a waste product feedstock in a supercritical fluid chamber; (2) transferring at least carbon monoxide and molecular hydrogen from the supercritical fluid chamber into a Fischer-Tropsch system; (3) generating a byproduct in the Fischer-Tropsch system, the byproduct comprising a hydrocarbon chain of less than eight carbons; and (4) feeding the hydrocarbon chain back into the supercritical fluid chamber via a feedstock feedback system, where the feedstock is optionally and preferably municipal solid waste, plastic, and/or rubber.
Claims16
A method for controlling breakdown of a waste product feedstock, comprising the steps of:
- breaking down the waste product feedstock in a supercritical fluid chamber;
- transferring at least carbon monoxide and molecular hydrogen from said supercritical fluid chamber into a Fischer-Tropsch system;
- generating a byproduct in said Fischer-Tropsch system, the byproduct comprising a hydrocarbon chain, said hydrocarbon chain comprising less than eight carbons;
- and
- feeding the hydrocarbon chain back into said supercritical fluid chamber via a feedstock feedback system.
