Abstract
A method for storing and removing CO2 from sour bio-gas and alcohol digester biofuel product-propellant mixtures featuring reversible foam-aerosol tri-state containment is described and applied to an autonomous fuel station. The method provides lowered fuel-cycle, odour-free, lower environmental impact storage of VOCs and can source its fuel energy from biomass and various particulate waste streams in foam farms. The liquid and gas fuel products are stored in the first blimp 1 at low pressure in foams over digester pits which are jetted with surfactants to encapsulate VOCs and greenhouse gases and this foam is then reversibly pressurised with bio and petroleum gas-sourced propellants into tri-states and chilled and set in gels. CO2 is removed from biogas containing methane propellant by the differential sorbing action of agitated oil and water-miscible states within the emulsified tri-state. Upon settling, the lower tri-state containing the water-solved fugitive CO2 state is run-off into a second foam storage blimp 2. The upper settled floating tri-state stores the water-fugitive differentially solved oil product with miscible methane propane and butane fuel propellants.
Description
1 2448331 Fuel Store -2 This invention relates to a method for storing
and removing CO2 from sour bio-gas and alcohol digester bio-fuel product propellant mixtures featuring re-pressurised foam-aerosol tr -state containment.
The stable storage containment and reprocessing of volatile fuel and gas mixtures containing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is problematic from several viewpoints: -the high percentage of C02 present in the bio gas reduces its calorific value (CV) compared with npg especially Methane, the low environmental impact odour-free volatile fuel mixture storage and production, the high pressures required to store the lower fractions especially methane, the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, containing refrigerated lpg and lng cargo boil-off' safely and the storage of combinations of bio and natural fuel mixtures.
Anaerobic foam digesters are known in the prior art for containing and storing VOC products comprising primarily methane and C02. By adding additional surfactants and natural petroleum gas npg, lpg and lng to the foam with jetting, a convenient and inexpensive method of foam storage containment can be realised.
Fuel Emulsions and gels are also known in the prior art.
Digester products typically contain mixtures of gases, liquids, VOCs and emulsive particulate suspensions in slurries and sludges, all of which can be deployed singularly or in combination in fuel mixtures.
Fuels have conventionally been refined into pure products, discarding the remainder of the whole product. By example, heavier crude fractions are difficult to pump and are often discarded or used lower down the energy-chain as with fermentation by-products.
Conversely with bio-fuels, the more volatile organic compound products (VOCs) were also discarded as run-off, boil-off or used for other applications. Collecting the gases produced from anaerobic digesters was not considered viable economically. As energy stores deplete and the environmental requirement for volatile fraction containment increases, alternative methods for fuel pre-processing are required, which can offer a competitive CV and utilise all the fermentation products' as propellants and products.
According to the present invention there is provided: -A means of storing and removing C02 from bio-fuel products and fuel mixtures incorporating reversible re-pressurised foam-aerosol fri-state containment.
This tn-state C02 removal technology can be integrated as post anaerobic foam * digester bio-fuel processing, as an alternative to low pressure storage and "C02 wash" fuel processing to compliment the whole fuel cycle by further improving the gas-enriched bio-fuel as described.
Due to the increased partial pressure and hence solving of C02 over Methane Propane and Butane propellants' in dilute alcohol products', the C02 mixture is preferentially sorbed in the water-containing part of the product emulsion tn-state, whilst the other lpg components are preferentially sorbed into the oil-containing part of the product emulsion tn-state. The lower part of the tn-state settles at the bottom of the cylinder and is run-off periodically via collector pipe I into a blimp prior to client fuel tank-degassing and re-fuelling.
The invention will now be described with reference to the figures: -Figure 1 shows a fuel station deployed to store and dispense the fuel colloid using reversible aerosol-foam containment reprocessing.
Figure 2 shows a low environmental impact fuel farm deployed to produce and store the fuel colloid at low pressure.
Referring to figure 1, inflatable blimps contain low pressure fuel foams in various stages of production 1 2 3 in anaerobic digesters, held in low-pressure foam containment. A reversible pump 4 pumps the fuel foam between low pressure in the first blimp 1 and high-pressure 5 containment. Said high pressure containment store is further dispensed via browser hose 6, which also provides for rapid empty vehicle fuel tank degassing 7 into the second blimp 2.
The third blimp 3 contains fermenting biomass 12 and forms a gas-tight digester.
The second blimp holding fuel tank degassing run-offs is re-constituted into foam by jetting the fermented products 8 from the second blimp via a second pump with sçttled foam recycling 9 with top-ups from a further high pressure fuel store 10.
Advantageously the pumped fuel heats up on re-compression, which pasteurises it as it enters high-pressure containment, preventing further fermentation. The fuel in fuel line 11 is then chilled as it enters high-pressure storage in the insulated browser tank.
The gel fuel is chilled prior to dispensing from the browser cache to reduce its volatility and allow brief low-pressure exposure to ntp.
The blimps are held in a subterranean hangar with a roof 14 to produce further solar electrolytic hydrogen fuel gas foam enrichment with under-floor heat-sink pumped air heating 13. Blimp foam pressure is maintained at light ntp overpressure and temperature of about 1.2 atm and 38 deg. C respectively by cascade-filling, hangar heat sinks, reversible pumping and heat-exchanging from the high-pressure store.
Prior to vehicle fuel tank refilling 15 from the browser cache, said fuel tank is first degassed into the second blimp via its outer hose 16. The sorbed C02 accumulated in the lower water-containing tn-state of the browser cache is then run off into the blimp with jetting 17. The vehicle is then refuelled with improved product propellant fuel to a pressure 18 approaching the internal browser cache pressure via the inner browser hose.
The browser cache features two liquid take-off tubes of different lengths 19, accessing the individual tn-states, switched for C02 run-off and refuelling as described and in sequence.
Referring to Figure 2, the foam fuel colloid 20 is stored and produced in bulk on a fuel farm in inflatable gasholders 21 comprising an alternative embodiment of the blimps as anaerobic foam digestors. The foam resists escaping through small leaks 22 facilitating inexpensive non gas-tight, lean-to structures such as green houses or domes built over a digester pit 23. Leaks create visible foaming, facilitating their easy visual detection and simple adhesive patch repair.
Advantageously, the bio-active foam 24 is odour-free and of low flammability and can be stored as described in minimal semi-dirigible containment structures. This facilitates the low environmental impact, odour-free local processing of biomass comprising slurry landfill and sewage. The fermented foam is collected as described as a compressed product-propellant colloid and it is transported to the fuel station via the existing infrastructure using gas tankers, seagoing gas carriers as LNG cargoes or via pipeline-pumping for reprocessing, reversible containment low-pressure storage and chilled dispensing as described.
Rotted biomass sediment including slurry in the digester pit 23 to be drawn-off and dried and the fluid wort is re-jetted warmed with surfactants and perfumes to create an odor-free foam barrier between the liquid and gas fluid phases. The foams liquid shell walls form a very large surface area to hasten fermentation whilst retaining gas-tightness as described. Carbon dioxide is sequestered from the wort 26 for example by chilling prior to warming and jetting or by differential tn-state sorbing in the browser cache as described above.
Advantageously, the ground high surface area 27 allows the land's earth to absorb additional C02 from the bio-gas foam as it coalesces with the surface, and allow the digester to operate in crop rotation, pitched over a number of fields in sequence.
