Abstract
A portable fuel synthesizer, comprising a portable housing, an electrical power source utilizing the hydrocarbon gas as fuel and connected to the portable housing, a boiler utilizing the hydrocarbon gas as fuel and connected to the portable housing, a reactor connected to the boiler to react the hydrocarbon gas to the hydrocarbon liquid, the reactor connected to the portable housing, at least one temperature sensor connected to the reactor to sense at least one temperature of the reaction, at least one pressure sensor connected to the reactor to sense at least one pressure of the reaction and a control system controlling the at least one of at least one temperature of the reaction and the at least one pressure of the reaction, the control system connected to the portable housing.
Claims6
A system, comprising:
- a fully enclosed portable industry standard shipping container that can be transported as any other industry standard shipping container;
- an electrical power source utilizing a hydrocarbon gas as fuel and connected to and contained within said shipping container;
- a boiler utilizing said hydrocarbon gas as fuel within said shipping container;
- a reactor connected to said boiler to react said hydrocarbon gas to a hydrocarbon liquid, said reactor within said shipping container;
- a distillation unit within said shipping container and configured to perform fractional distillation and separation of hydrocarbon products;
- a syngas reformer within said shipping container connected to said reactor within said shipping container;
- and
- a fuel testing and blending unit within said shipping container and configured to receive separated hydrocarbons from said distillation unit and responsively output primary and secondary liquid hydrocarbon products of interest and at least one tertiary hydrocarbon product not meeting specifications for the primary hydrocarbon product.
