Description

MULTISTAGE METHOD FOR PRODUCING HYDROGEN-CONTAINING GASEOUS FUEL AND THERMAL GAS-GENERATOR PLANT Technical Field The invention relates to energy-saving technologies, mainly to methods and units for converting water (H O) in a hydrogen-containing gas in combination with a catalyst medium from the line of CnH2n+2 (diesel fuel, residual oil) in a continuously heated medium at a burning temperature above 500°C. Most often, such methods are related to systems, in which gaseous fuel production and its implementation by burning are combined into a single cycle, but may be used for the accumulation of hydrogen-containing gaseous fuel.
Background There is a known method of hydrogen-containing gas generating (SU Pat. № 1144977, 1985), where components are burned in the high temperature mode to obtain hydrogen-containing gas.
The disadvantage of the method is the high power consumption.
There is a known method of gas production from hydrocarbon raw material (SU Pat. № 939380, 1982), where water vapor, superheated up to 430 degrees, is mixed with hydrocarbons with subsequent heating of the steam and gas mixture.
The disadvantage of the method consists is an additional energy consumption to produce superheated steam and subsequent heating.
There is a known application of water steam in its various phase states, all of which are characterized by different equilibrium states (Soviet encyclopedic dictionary. M.: 1985, - p 962, Ref. "Steam").
There is also known "Method of producing hydrogen-containing gas in the turbo-generator setup“ (RU Pat. № 2269486, 2006), adopted by the applicant as the closest similar method. A known method and device for its implementation have the same purpose as the claimed technical solution, and that method is characterized by a sequence of operations by stages, combined in a single closed cycle, and the device, corresponding to these stages.
In the part of the method of the known technical solution a multistage method of producing hydrogen-containing gaseous fuel with closed cycle is implemented, including the launch of the process in the forced warm-up mode and implementation of a self-heating process in the normal self-heating mode, which includes mixing the hydrocarbon component and water, their supply by pumping under pressure, heating, fuel return and ignition.
In the known technical solution, the initial mixing in the liquid phase of water and the hydrocarbon component, at normal (20 degrees) temperature of components, does not ensure the stability of dispersed composition of the mixture, directed further for heating to produce fuel.
After cessation of mixing (i.e., from the moment of supplying the mixture to heat), the reverse process begins – mixture lamination begins due to different densities of water and hydrocarbon component. This leads to the heterogeneous mixture on the dispersed composition. During the subsequent heating of the mixture, heterogeneity is also observed based on the temperature.
These heterogeneities are maintained in the final product, i.e. the fuel mixture, directed to the torch ignition, causing the torch to burn unstably, on one hand due to formation of local sources (by content) in the mixture, where the mixture is non-flammable, which causes a disruption in ignition and extinction of the torch (which is typical for heavy hydrocarbon components), and on other hand, due to formation of local sources (by content) of rapid burning in the mixture, which lead to unauthorized flashes of flame in the torch, which is typical for light hydrocarbon components.
As for the known device, it includes relevant elements of the method implementation, inherent also to the claimed technical solution, thermal gas generator unit, designed as a single device that has a complex multi-section housing. It includes a burner system, firing chamber, device for mixing the components, ignition pulse device, pipes, and start-up system, which includes a start-up burner with a supply of combustible fuel.
The device has disadvantages, inherent to the implemented method, including disruptions in the process of fuel production due to the heterogeneity of the mixture.

Its housing, designed as two cylindrical tubes with a gap, embedded in one another, forming the process cylinder, divided into isolated sections, with section numbers, corresponding to the number of fuel mixture production stage, an inner tube space forms the firing chamber, the mixing device is designed as an injector with separate inlets for water as a water steam and hydrocarbon components, the outlet of the process cylinder’s last section is connected by a pipe to the inlet of the firing chamber, where the burner system is installed. This system includes an ignition device with spark-ignition pulse source and an operating burner, start-up burner, with an installed operating torch formation element on the firing chamber outlet, as a flow restrictor. The unit is equipped with fuel tanks, designed as separate sealed discharge containers for water and hydrocarbon components.
The device can be designed as a three section process cylinder, where the first section is for the vaporization stage, designed with an independent induction heat source, the second section is for the component mixing stage, and steam and gas mixture heating, the third section provides an additional heating stage for the fuel mixture production.

Description of the Invention Implementation The method and the unit implement the dependence of H O + S H = H 2 n 2n+2 2 + CO2 in a high-temperature multi-stage mode. The thermal capacity of carbon is best utilized using water gas.
To vaporize water gas of carbon, it is requires 8% of its own resources, while the water gas consists mainly of CO (40-60%) and H2 (30-50%).
Water gas formation is a complex, two-stage process: at 500ºC, there is a complete decomposition yielding hydrogen and carbon dioxide (C+2H O = 2H + CO2); at 1,000-1,200 ºC – a decomposition yielding hydrogen and carbon monoxide (CO2 + C = 2CO). If the water is taken in a steam state, the decomposition of water steam (C + H O = CO + H ) is accompanied by heat loss, and therefore leads to cooling. So, to compensate these heat losses, the heating temperature of the first stage must be higher than the final stage temperature, i.e. it must be not less than 1,300ºC.
The presence of the turbo pump (air, oxygen or other additional oxidant) allows to obtain so-called generator gas with 1935º C mixture burning temperature, while there are virtually no environmentally harmful components emitted.
The method is shown in the block diagram of the implementation algorithm (Figure 1). The method includes (Fig.1a) the fire torch formation and ensuring process burning (30) for heating components and mixture in the process cylinder (35).
To ensure the process implementation and claimed technical problem decision, there is a separation of process flows with separate supply (17-18) of components (water (1) and the hydrocarbon component (2)). Water is supplied for heating and vaporization (29) for subsequent steam supply (19) to mix with the hydrocarbon component and subsequent heating of the steam and hydrocarbon mixture (31), which, already at this stage, may be a flammable mixture.
This mixture is used during the start-up of the system (22). Then, the mixture is sent to the next stages of processing (32), for additional warm-up (20- 21). The resulting fuel is sent to the system inlet for ignition (23), as well as it used also to create an operating torch at the unit’s outlet.
Heating of components and mixture (35) in normal mode is performed by using a process cylinder with several sections, corresponding to the stages number for the implementation of the method.
Components (water and hydrocarbon component) are loaded into sealed containers (1, 2) under the constant pressure of 0.3-0.5 MPa to ensure their uninterrupted supply to the system by pumping through control valves (25), (Figure 1a and Figure 2). Loading can be carried out periodically, as fast as components are consumed, as well as continuously.
When taking a three-stage process as the basis, at the first stage in the normal self-heating mode, water is heated up to superheated steam at 500-550 ºC, and in the start-up mode with forced heating - up to 450-500 ºC.
The resulting superheated steam is directed to mix with hydrocarbon components. Mixing is performed by injection (8) of steam (Fig. 5). Then, the steam and hydrocarbon mixture is additionally heated in the second section of the process cylinder (11) and in the third section, (12) the mixture is heated up to a temperature of forming gaseous fuel, which in the normal self-heating mode is directed to return (23) for igniting and flame torch formation.
In the start-up mode with forced heating (7), the steam and hydrocarbon mixture is directed (22) for ignition from the second section (11).
The unit includes appropriate elements of the method implementation. It is made as a single device, which has a complex multi-section housing. It consists of the burner system (30), the firing chamber (9), injection-type unit for mixing components (8), the pulse ignition unit (5), pipes and the start-up system, including the start-up burner (4) with a supply of combustible fuel (a, b, or c).
The housing is designed as two cylindrical tubes with a gap, embedded in one another (33, 34), forming the process cylinder.
The process cylinder is heated by the firing torch. It is divided into hermetically isolated sections (10, 11, and 12). The section number corresponds to the stages number of the fuel mixture production process. The first section (10) corresponds to stage of vaporization. This section is equipped with an independent induction heat source (7) for implementing the start-up process. The second section, corresponding to stage of components mixing and heating of a water steam and gas mixture, includes section 11 of the process cylinder, injection-type mixer (8), and the third section (12), which serves for final warming- up of the mixture and fuel production. The inner tube cavity (9) with an inner diameter r1 forms the firing chamber of the firing torch formation (13 and 14) for the process cylinder heating. The mixer (8) of the second stage is designed as an injector with separate inlets (19) for water, in the steam form, and hydrocarbon component (18). The unit is equipped with fuel tanks, designed as separate, sealed discharge containers for water (1) and the hydrocarbon component (2).
The discharge water container (1) is connected by pipe (17) to the inlet of the first section of the process cylinder of the vaporization chamber (10). The outlet of the vaporization chamber is connected by a pipe to the injector’s first inlet, the second inlet of which is connected to the hydrocarbon component discharge container.
The injector outlet is connected by a pipe to the camera (11) for heating a steam and gas mixture. The camera (11) for heating a steam and gas mixture is connected by pipe (21) with an additional heating chamber (12) to form a fuel mixture. The outlet of this chamber is connected by pipe (23) to the inlet of the firing chamber (9), where the turbine burner system is installed. This system has an ignition device with spark-ignition pulse source (5), operating burner (3), and the start-up burner (4). The working torch formation element (16) is installed on the firing chamber outlet, as a flow restrictor (15).
The ratio of radii of tubes, forming the process cylinder for fuel mixture production is: 0.3 > (R1/r2) > 0.1; where R1 - outer diameter of the inner tube, r2 - inner diameter of the outer tube, a turbocharger unit (6) is installed at the turbine burner system inlet , and constant overpressure of 0.3-0.5 MPa is maintained in discharge containers (1 and The graph in Fig. 6 shows a dependence of temperature in the process cylinder on its sections.
