Process utilizing synergistic mixture of fuels to produce energy and reduce emissions in boilers

Abstract

Emissions from the primary combustion process are captured, cooled (in order to avoid premature combustion before reaching the combustion chamber), compressed, mixed with Magnegas, and then re-combusted in a secondary combustion chamber.

1 . A process for the production of a clean burning dual fuel combination in which emissions from primary combustion of solid and/or gaseous fuels are captured, cooled, compressed, Magnegas is mixed with the emissions so that it bonds to the emissions to create a structured dual fuel combination, and then re-combusted in a secondary combustion chamber. 
     
     
         2 . A process according to  claim 1  in which the primary fuels comprise coal, rubber bitumen, LPG and natural gas. 
     
     
         3 . A process according to  claim 1  in which Magnegas reforms the emissions into a cleaner burning structured dual fuel which provides more effective combustion resulting in greater heat output and reducing emissions. 
     
     
         4 . A process according to  claim 1  in which Magnegas converts or draws atoms from the molecules in the primary fuel emissions (including those in emissions targets) into electromagnecular clusters (being stable clusters of isolated and unbonded atoms, dimers and molecules) which then recombine during the course of combustion in the secondary combustion chamber. 
     
     
         5 . A process according to  claim 1  in which, depending on the fuel, the molecules in emissions targets are any one or all of CO and CO2, NOx (NO & NO2), SO x . 
     
     
         6 . A process according to  claim 1  in which smoke and particulates are also reduced. 
     
     
         7 . A process according to  claim 1 , whereby no additional atmospheric oxygen is required. 
     
     
         8 . A process according to  claim 1  whereby oxygen is released during the secondary combustion process. 
     
     
         9 . A process according to  claim 1  in which the emissions from primary combustion are mixed with Magnegas in a mixing chamber before/prior to being fed into the secondary combustion chamber. 
     
     
         10 . A process according to  claim 1  in which the emissions from primary combustion are mixed with Magnegas in a mixing chamber at least one metre before being fed into the secondary combustion chamber. 
     
     
         11 . A process according to  claim 1  in which the emissions from primary combustion are mixed with Magnegas at about approximately one metre before the secondary combustion chamber. 
     
     
         12 . A process according to  claim 1  in which the temperature in the mixing chamber leading to the secondary combustion chamber must be at least at ambient temperature. 
     
     
         13 . A process according to  claim 1  in which the temperature in the mixing chamber leading to the secondary combustion chamber is in the range of ambient temperature to 250 degrees Celsius. 
     
     
         14 . A process according to  claim 1  in which the temperature in the mixing chamber leading to the secondary combustion chamber must be at least 140 degrees Celsius. 
     
     
         15 . A process according to  claim 1  in which the temperature in the mixing chamber leading to the secondary combustion chamber is in the range of approximately 140-220 degrees Celsius 
     
     
         16 . A secondary combustion chamber designed for combustion of a dual fuel comprising a mixture of Magnegas and the emissions from primary combustion and particulates for use in a process according to  claim 1  having a cylindrical shape, with an inlet end and outlet end and being tapered at the outlet end, and wherein the inlet and chamber are connected and sealed in order to avoid the entry of any additional oxygen to the combustion chamber. 
     
     
         17 . A secondary combustion chamber in accordance with  claim 16  in which the inlet into the chamber is at about a 30 degree angle. 
     
     
         18 . A secondary combustion chamber in accordance with  claim 16  being tapered at both ends. 
     
     
         18 . A secondary combustion chamber in accordance with  claim 16  in which the inlet is flared so as to provide a diffuser action and to help swirl the mixture. 
     
     
         19 . (canceled) 
     
     
         20 . (canceled)

         22 . (canceled) 
     
     
         23 . A process or apparatus according to  claim 1  in which a control valve adjusts the flow of emissions at the inlet to the mixing chamber to ensure that combustion is optimized.
