Reduction Of Greenhouse Gases
US Patent:
2011022, Sep 22, 2011
Filed:
Mar 16, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/725409
Inventors:
Ralph Denver Ragsdale - Houston TX, US
International Classification:
C10G 19/00
US Classification:
196 46
Abstract:
The heat removal and recovery systems of a nuclear energy source and the heat requirements of a nearby industrial facility are designed to achieve zero or near-zero greenhouse gas emissions from the industrial facility. Alternative arrangements of heat loops or belts to and from the nuclear heat source and within the industrial facility utilize heat exchange equipment at the interfaces and replace the use of fired furnaces and boilers. Technologies and processes can be selected to avoid the need or use of all or most of the furnaces and boilers. The design scheme applies to both new and existing retrofitted industrial facilities.
