Ultra Reduced Nox Burner System And Process

View page
US Patent:
6485289, Nov 26, 2002
Filed:
Jan 8, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/757288
Inventors:
John T. Kelly - Saratoga CA
Mehdi Namazian - Palo Alto CA
Assignee:
Altex Technologies Corporation - Santa Clara CA
International Classification:
F23J 1500
US Classification:
431 4, 431 10, 431 12, 431284, 110344, 110345
Abstract:
A NOx reduction burner system and process. Fuel modification and fuel rich reactor zone gases are brought together with products from a fuel lean reactor zone in a low temperature burnout and NOx reduction reactor zone. The fuel modification fuel rich reactor stabilizes combustion through recirculation of hot gases to the reactants. Nitrogenous species decay reactions in the fuel rich zone controls the production of NOx. The nitrogenous species from the fuel rich zone and the NOx from the fuel lean zone then react in the burnout zone at an optimal temperature and nitrogenous species mix where NOx is minimized. Temperature in all zones, and in particular the burnout zone, can be controlled by furnace gas entrainment, induced flue gas recirculation, forced flue gas recirculation and active cooling by radiative and/or convective heat transfer. NOx can be even further reduced by introducing ammonia, or a like amine species, into the low temperature burnout zone. By balancing combustion and emissions control reactions over several zones, low emissions can be achieved under good flame stability, turndown, heat transfer and noise characteristics.

Liquid Fuel Preprocessor

US Patent:
7303598, Dec 4, 2007
Filed:
Mar 5, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/796592
Inventors:
Mehdi Namazian - Palo Alto CA, US
John T. Kelly - Saratoga CA, US
Assignee:
Altex Technologies - Santa Clara CA
International Classification:
C01B 3/24
US Classification:
48197R, 481279, 481983, 208 79, 422187, 422189, 422198, 422211
Abstract:
Apparatus and process for reformulating liquid fuel. In one step of the process the fuel is fractionated into light and heavy fractionates. The light fractionate is then reformed in a steam reformer into a reformed fuel that is suitable for use in fuel cells or other energy-producing devices. The heavy fractionate is burned with a part of the resulting heat used in the reforming step. In one embodiment the light fractionate is desulfurized before entering the reforming step. In another embodiment the heavy fractionate is directed into a holding vessel for subsequent use as a fuel which is suitable for burning to produce heat or other energy.

Filed:
Jan 31, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/797688
Inventors:
John T. Kelly - Los Gatos CA
Mehdi Namazian - Palo Alto CA
Assignee:
Altex Technologies Corp. - Santa Clara CA
International Classification:
B27B 1700
B29B 1700
US Classification:
264 3729
Abstract:
A lime regeneration method and system of apparatus which compacts lime mud into agglomerates of predetermined configurations for improved handling and processing in a subsequent compact, efficient, minimally polluting and low cost reactor vessel in which the mud is dried, heated, calcined and cooled to form a reactive lime product.

Combustion Process And Burner Apparatus For Controlling Nox Emissions

View page
US Patent:
60009306, Dec 14, 1999
Filed:
May 12, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/854622
Inventors:
John T. Kelly - Los Gatos CA
Mehdi Namazian - Palo Alto CA
Assignee:
Altex Technologies Corporation - Santa Clara CA
International Classification:
F23D 340
US Classification:
431 7
Abstract:
A low NOx combustion process and burner apparatus in which a mixture of a primary fuel and air, with the air in excess of the stoichiometric requirement, is passed to a surface burner element. The mixture is distributed over the downstream side of the element where it is combusted in a primary combustion zone. Secondary fuel is mixed with surface combustion products from the primary zone and then combusted in a secondary combustion zone with a portion of excess oxygen from the surface combustion products. In certain embodiments the temperature of surface combustion products is reduced by heat transfer to the surface burner element, and in another embodiment by heat transfer to a screen or other element placed within the primary combustion zone, from which the heat is then extracted to a load, and in another embodiment by mixing the additional fuel or combustion products with cooled furnace gases. In other embodiments the placement of the secondary fuel jets is varied to achieve different combustion results.

Integrated Engine Exhaust And Heat Process Flexible And Low Emissions Combined Heat And Power Process And System

View page
US Patent:
20150247440, Sep 3, 2015
Filed:
May 15, 2015
Appl. No.:
14/714119
Inventors:
- Sunnyvale CA, US
Carlo Castaldini - Sunnyvale CA, US
Mehdi Namazian - Palo Alto CA, US
International Classification:
F01N 5/04
F01N 3/10
Abstract:
The invention provides systems and methods for electric power production and integrated combustion and emissions control. The invention may include an engine capable of receiving air and fuel, and producing power and an engine exhaust gas. The invention may also include a first reaction zone receiving the engine exhaust gas from the engine configured to combust fuel and air having an equivalence ratio of more than one, thereby generating a first product. The combustion may reduce nitrogen containing species. The invention may also include a second reaction zone receiving the engine exhaust gas from the engine configured to combust fuel and air having an equivalence ratio of less than one, thereby generating a second product. The combustion may reduce or minimize NOx. The invention may also include a mixing zone configured to receive the first product and second product, and mix and react the first and second products, thereby generating an exhaust with reduced NOx levels. This may occur with sufficient residence time and temperature to complete combustion and promote nitrogenous species reduction reactions. For inventions with multiple zones, fuel or air or exhaust gas may be adjusted, diverted or turned off as load is reduced to maintain flame stability for all zones that remaining operational. For inventions with engine exhaust that provides less oxidant than the burner requires, an air eductor means may be arranged between the engine and the burner that entrains needed additional oxidant and simultaneously recovers the flow energy in the turbine exhaust.
