20100175426 | Power Management For Gasification Facility - Systems and methods for controlling power needs of a gasification facility are described. The systems include an ice refrigeration storage unit for supplying refrigeration to the larger consumers of cooling in the gasification facility. The methods include manipulating the ice refrigeration storage unit to minimize the utilization of power during peak price periods and maximize the utilization of power during offpeak price periods. | 07-15-2010 |

20100018237 | Low Water Consumption Cooling Tower for Gasification Plants - Disclosed is a hybrid cooling tower and a method and system for using the cooling tower. The cooling tower is design to reduce water consumption and eliminate plume formation. The cooling tower comprises a wet section having a plurality of wet section fans and a dry section having a plurality of dry section fans. The wet section fans are adjustable to operate at an increased rate and a reduced rate, depending upon ambient conditions surrounding the cooling tower. The wet section may comprise at least one shutter door. In operation, typically the wet section fans operate at the increased rate during a summer peak price period and at the reduced rate during a winter peak price period and an offpeak price period. Typically, the dry section fans operate at the increased rate all year. This method allows for less evaporative cooling and more latent cooling thereby reducing water consumption. | 01-28-2010 |
