METHOD OF FORMING AND COMPRESSING CARBON DIOXIDE

摘要

A method and apparatus to form and compress relatively pure carbon dioxide includes a syngas generator which forms syngas and directs it into a combustion chamber where it is combined with oxygen and combusted to form relatively pure carbon dioxide. A first portion of the formed carbon dioxide is directed to a compressor which is powered by an internal combustion engine. A second portion of the formed carbon dioxide is combined with oxygen and used in combination with a carbonaceous fuel to power the internal combustion engine. This produces exhaust gas which is relatively high purity carbon dioxide which is combined with the carbon dioxide formed by combusting the syngas.

主权项

1. A method of forming and compressing carbon dioxide comprising:
forming carbon dioxide by combining syngas with oxygen to form a combustible gas; combusting said combustible gas with oxygen in a combustion chamber to form produced carbon dioxide; combining a first portion of said carbon dioxide with oxygen and fuel to form a combustion mixture; and fueling an internal combustion engine with said combustion mixture thereby forming an exhaust gas; powering a compressor with said internal combustion engine; and directing a second portion of said carbon dioxide to said compressor which thereby compresses said gas; and directing said exhaust gas from said internal combustion engine and blending said exhaust gas with said produced carbon dioxide.
