Abstract

A system and process for gas homogenization is disclosed. This has application in the areas of generation of gas and its conversion to electricity in downstream applications. The homogenization system minimizes variance in the gas characteristics (composition, flow, pressure, temperature), thereby rendering a steady stream of gas of consistent quality to the downstream machinery. This homogenization system can be adjusted to optimize the output gas stream for specific end-applications, or to optimize the output gas stream for different input feedstocks. This ensures that overall conversion efficiencies are maximised while keeping the process cost-effective. Such a uniform, steady output gas stream has a wide range of applications in the broad areas of generation of electricity (e.g. using internal combustion engines and combustion turbine engines), chemical synthesis (e.g. of compounds such as ethanol, methanol, hydrogen, methane, carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons), fuel-cell technologies and in polygeneration processes (processes that result in co-production of electricity and synthetic fuels).

a) a homogenization chamber comprising a gas inlet and a gas outlet;
b) a gas inlet mechanism in fluid communication with the gas inlet, comprising:
i) one or more inlet conduits; and ii) one or more sensing elements for monitoring of data relating to chemical composition, temperature, flow rate, and pressure parameters of the gas;
c) a regulated gas outlet mechanism in fluid communication with the gas outlet for directing output of stabilized gas to a downstream application, the outlet mechanism comprising one or more outlet conduits;
d) one or more process devices associated with the system to regulate the chemical composition, temperature, flow rate, and pressure parameters of the gas; and e) one or more response elements operatively associated with the one or more process devices for affecting the system to optimize the chemical composition, temperature, flow rate, and pressure parameters of the gas;
