Crushed Foam Glass Filter Aid And Method Of Use
US Patent:
6562245, May 13, 2003
Filed:
Feb 5, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/777802
Inventors:
Robert Dejaiffe - Kennewick WA
Jeffrey E. Surma - Richland WA
Jeffrey E. Surma - Richland WA
Assignee:
Integrated Environmental Technologies, LLC - Richland WA
International Classification:
B01D 3702
US Classification:
210769, 210777, 210791, 210193
Abstract:
Disclosed is filter aid formed of a crushed foam glass utilized as a filtering aid for removing suspended materials in a fluid stream by first providing a permeable support with the crushed foam glass filter aid placed adjacent thereto, and directing the fluid stream having suspended materials through the filter. Suspended materials within the fluid stream are captured on the crushed foam glass filter aid, separating the suspended materials from the fluid stream. The foam glass filter aid and the suspended materials may then be removed as a mixture, melted to form a molten glass, fritted to form a frit, comminuted to form a foam glass precursor, mixed with precursor with a foaming agent and heated and crushed to reform the foam glass filter aid. Suspended materials captured on the crushed foam glass filter aid are thus removed from the foam glass filter aid, and the foam glass filter aid to be recycled and used again in the filtering process.
Method For Complete Destruction Of Carbon In High Temperature Plasma Waste Treatment Systems
US Patent:
6576210, Jun 10, 2003
Filed:
Aug 22, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/935485
Inventors:
Jeffrey E. Surma - Richland WA
Assignee:
Integrated Environmental Technologies, LLC - Richland WA
International Classification:
C01B 3102
US Classification:
423445R, 423DIG 10
Abstract:
A method for destroying carbon carryover created in high temperature plasma waste treatment systems whereby the carbon carryover is mixed with a wetting agent and returned to the high temperature plasma waste treatment system for further processing. The method may further utilize the carbon carryover to first capture the hydrocarbons produced in a high temperature plasma waste treatment system, and then feed the thus captured hydrocarbons back into the high temperature processing system to be converted into useful products together with the carbon carryover.
Grate For High Temperature Gasification Systems
US Patent:
8118891, Feb 21, 2012
Filed:

Appl. No.:
12/008956
Inventors:
Jeffrey E. Surma - Richland WA, US

James A. Batdorf - Kennewick WA, US
Assignee:
InEn Tec, LLC - Bend OR
International Classification:
B01J 7/00, H01M 8/06, C01B 3/36, C10J 3/46, B02C 7/04, B02C 13/20, B02C 1/08
US Classification:
48 61, 48197 R, 241235, 241266
Abstract:
An improved active grate consisting of at least two elongated rockers positioned parallel to one and another, each rocker having a lower surface and an upper surface and configured to rotate back and forth about their longitudinal axis. Each individual rocker is further configured to rotate in the opposite direction of the adjacent rockers such that any pair of adjacent rockers alternately forms a void allowing material to pass through active grate when rotating in one direction into a first position, and closes the void when rotated in the opposite direction in a second position. The active grate finds particular utility in a combined gasification/vitrification waste treatment system, where it is used to pass partially oxidized materials from a gasification chamber to a vitrification chamber. The rockers include a coolant loop through the longitudinal axis of the rockers.
Regenerator For Syngas Cleanup And Energy Recovery In Gasifier Systems
US Patent:
8613782, Dec 24, 2013
Filed:
May 25, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/786998

David A. Lamar - West Richland WA, US
Assignee:
Inentec Inc. - Richland WA
International Classification:
B01J 7/00
US Classification:
48 61
Abstract:
A rotating heat regenerator is used to recover heat from the syngas at it exits the reactor vessel of a waste or biomass gasifier. In some embodiments, three or more streams are passed through the heat exchanger. One stream is the dirty syngas, which heats the rotating material. A second stream is a cold stream that is heated as it passes through the material. A third stream is a cleaning stream, which serves to remove particulates that are collected on the rotating material as the dirty syngas passes through it. This apparatus can also be used as an auto-heat exchanger, or it can exchange heat between separate flows in the gasifier process. The apparatus can also be used to reduce the heating requirement for the thermal residence chamber (TRC) used downstream from the gasification system.
Combined Gasification And Vitrification System

US Classification:
48 61, 48197 R, 423644, 423650
Abstract:
An optimized gasification/vitrification processing system having a gasification unit which converts organic materials to a hydrogen rich gas and ash in communication with a joule heated vitrification unit which converts the ash formed in the gasification unit into glass, and a plasma which converts elemental carbon and products of incomplete combustion formed in the gasification unit into a hydrogen rich gas.

International Classification:
C10J 3/72, C10J 3/46
US Classification:
48 87, 48197 R
Abstract:
A gasification system method and apparatus to convert a feed stream containing at least some organic material into synthesis gas having a first region, a second region, a gas solid separator, and a means for controlling the flow of material from the first region to the second region. The feed stream is introduced into the system, and the feed stream is partially oxidized in the first region thereby creating a solid material and a gas material. The method further includes the steps of separating at least a portion of the solid material from the gas material with the gas solid separator, controlling the flow of the solid material into the second region from the first region, and heating the solid material in the second region with an electrical means.
