| 20080281133 | Three-Stage Gasification - Biomass-to-Electricity Process with an Acetylene Process - The invention relates to a process for the generation of electrical energy and byproducts from the gasification of biomass and/or environmental waste materials. Environmental waste and/or renewable biomass is processed by three separate stages of gasification. The first stage is a pyrolysis chamber with firebox which gasifies solid material into gaseous and liquid hydrocarbon compounds at temperatures below 800 F. The second stage is a fixed bed chamber gasifier which produces the acetylene and hydrogen gases at approximately 1400 F. The third stage is a high temperature reactor which produces molten calcium carbide at 3500 F. Various solid, liquid, and gaseous byproducts are produced along the way. The second stage gases include carbon monoxide, methane, hydrogen, acetylene and other biogases which are used to generate electricity in an internal combustion engine. The calcium carbide with water reaction generates acetylene gas and is used to enrich the gaseous fuel to the internal combustion engine or as a storable solid fuel. The energy generated from the partial combustion of the biomass/waste material is used to fuel the three gasification chambers. Air emissions tests shows ultra low pollution levels from this process. | 11-13-2008 |
