The patent titled “Integrated System for Converting Hydrocarbon Gases to Solid Carbon and Hydrogen Products” was filed on January 23, 2025, by the inventors at CZERO.
This innovative patent outlines a method and system for converting hydrocarbon gases into solid carbon and hydrogen through the use of advanced pyrolysis techniques.
As the world continues to seek sustainable energy solutions, the conversion of hydrocarbon gases into valuable products like solid carbon and hydrogen has become a significant area of focus. The patented system presents an efficient approach to achieve this conversion using a pyrolysis reactor.
The system described in the patent includes several key components, each playing a vital role in the conversion process. Central to the system is the pyrolysis reactor, which comprises a bed of particulates within a reactor vessel. These particulates consist of catalyst particles, solid carbon, and inert media essential for the reaction.
The system also features a heating section that interacts with the pyrolysis reactor. This section is responsible for heating the inert media. It uses a hot gas stream to elevate the heated inert media to the top, where it is reintroduced into the system. This continuous cycle is crucial for maintaining optimal reaction conditions.
In addition to the pyrolysis reactor and heating section, the patent details a separator system designed to effectively manage particulates in the product gas. This system ensures the removal of solid particles from the gas stream, enhancing the purity and quality of the end products.
Furthermore, the system incorporates a heat exchanger to dissipate excess heat from the reaction product gases as they exit the pyrolysis reactor. This heat management not only improves efficiency but also ensures the safety and stability of the entire process.
