SBIR Phase II: Clean, Inexpensive, and Carbon-free Energy from a Toxic Waste

这个小型企业创新研究（SBIR）第二阶段项目提议将一种新的工艺商业化，将石油有毒废物回收为清洁和廉价的能源。这个第二阶段的项目将通过修改公司？在第一阶段，superatr是一款非8208型号的超级atr。采用充满惰性填料床的循环流动反应器的催化过程。在循环流动反应器中，氧化剂/燃料混合物的方向周期性地反转，产生高温体积。一期工程的修改有效地提高了温度，使反应堆更加高效。这项研究的更广泛的影响是，石油和天然气质量的恶化迫使石油部门承担非常高的能源和废物处理成本。例如，对硫化氢的良性处理每年要花费炼油厂和天然气加工厂50亿美元。目前的技术只允许提取硫，而浪费了更有价值的氢部分。在将这项技术商业化的过程中，价值主张包括但不限于：&amp；#61623；获得90亿千瓦时的碳&amp；#8208；廉价的免费电力和蒸汽。降低汽油和柴油价格，即使是每加仑1美分，也将使美国人手中多出20亿美元。通过帮助炼油厂和天然气厂超越环境标准，减少500万吨温室气体和150万吨酸雨污染物。

This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project proposes tocommercialize a new process to recycle petroleum toxic wastes to clean and inexpensiveenergy. This Phase II project will scale the improved process by modifying the company?s pilotunit to incorporate the enhancements realized with the bench scale unit in Phase I. The basicSuperATR is a non‐catalytic process that employs a cyclic flow reactor filled with an inert packedbed. In the cyclic flow reactor, the direction of oxidizer/fuel mixture is periodically reversedproducing a high temperature volume. The modifications in the Phase I project effectivelyraised the temperature even higher to make the reactor even more efficient.The broader impacts of this research are that deteriorating qualities of oils and gases is forcingthe petroleum sector to incur very high cost for energy and waste disposal. For example, thebenign disposal of hydrogen sulfide costs oil refineries and natural gas processing plants $5billion a year. Present technologies only permit extracting the sulfur content while wasting themuch more valuable hydrogen portion. In commercializing this technology, the valuepropositions are but not limited to: Obtain 9 billion kilowatt hours of carbon‐free electricity and steam inexpensively. Lowering gasoline and diesel prices, even by 1 cent per gallon, would leave $2 billion inthe hands of Americans. Eliminate 5 million tons of greenhouse gas along with 1.5 million tons of acid rainpollutants by helping refineries and natural gas plants exceed environmental standards.
