Hydrogen gas generator for fueling gas fired turbines for electricity production July 08, 2009 - Lakewood - Colorado |

Peeker Corporation is offering low-risk clean energy technology for immediate use to certain countries that lack the access to low cost fossil fuel. Changing the expensive power generation from coal, diesel, or natural gas to clean hydrogen fired closed loop power plants with zero emission of pollutants is now accessible. Peeker Group is using standard gas fired turbines already available on the market, with hydrogen gas instead of fossil type fuel. The hydrogen is produced on site "on demand" (when needed) – no hydrogen storage, no cryogenics systems are necessary. These are built per customer's orders and they differ from customer to customer. In other words, a catalytic reactor produces the pure hydrogen gas from water when the pressure is lowered demanding for more hydrogen gas. When the pressure is higher, meaning the need is lower or not required, the catalytic reaction automatically stops and no more hydrogen gas is produced. The proposed system is a closed cycle. Instead of air, the turbine intakes argon gas, which is an inert gas that does not burn nor would it react with oxygen. The Argon mass is also higher than the air and would compress with more force making the turbine more efficient. The hydrogen+oxygen premix will burn inside the turbine to heat the argon and expand together with the super hot steam resulting from the burning of the hydrogen in oxygen environment to produce torque. |
The Argon mass is also higher than the air and would compress with more force making the turbine more efficient. The hydrogen+oxygen premix will burn inside the turbine to heat the argon and expand together with the super hot steam resulting from the burning of the hydrogen in oxygen environment to produce torque. In case of a leak, the argon will prevent the hydrogen for contacting more oxygen from the surrounding air thus limiting the possibility of a major fire accident. In fact, the pure hydrogen – oxygen burning in argon is safer than the standard natural gas fired classical turbine power plants in existence today. The burning of pure hydrogen with the oxygen in argon is clean and no pollutants are being created (absolutely an environmental clean process). Out of the turbine exhaust steam/water is produced from the burning of the hydrogen with oxygen and the argon will leave through a cooling tower in order to be recirculated in the intake.The very interesting part of this process is that co-generation is always the case. The steam which separates from the argon may be driven for other lower steam operations as well as to run a secondary steam turbine for more electricity production, however, still the hot and fast moving argon from the exhaust (which argon is electricity conductive) may be placed to cross a strong magnetic field before reaching the intake in order to draw even more electricity through Magnetic Hydrodynamic Effects. |
