Gas mixture power system with adjustable field and natural gas ratio
The patent US12055953B1 describes a versatile power system that integrates multiple gas sources to optimize energy production. The system includes a power source, a field gas supply sourced from oil or gas wells, a natural gas supply, and a mixing device. A control system, in communication with various sensors and controllers, manages the operation of the power system. It allows for the creation of a gas mixture by adjusting the ratio of field gas to natural gas based on real-time data, such as the properties and conditions of the gases, as well as emissions from the power source. This adaptability ensures efficient operation under varying conditions, including interruptions in gas supply.
Additionally, the power system can utilize natural gas or field gas independently, and it may incorporate supplemental fuels, such as diesel, for enhanced flexibility. The design includes apparatuses for regulating the conditions of both gas supplies, which can be mounted on a single skid for ease of transport. The system is capable of operating with mixed gases that may not require pretreatment and can be odorized for safety. The patent outlines methods for automatically adjusting gas ratios and selecting fuel sources, ensuring that the power system can respond dynamically to operational demands while maintaining efficiency and reliability.
