20070072950 - Fuel reformer: A fuel reformer including a first pipe, a second pipe which is disposed in the first pipe, a main heat source, which includes an oxidation catalyst, filling the second pipe adapted to generate thermal energy with a predetermined temperature range through an oxidation reaction of a fuel using the oxidation... Agent: Christie, Parker & Hale, LLP

20070072949 - Methods and apparatus for hydrogen gas production: An apparatus for producing hydrogen gas, wherein the apparatus includes a reactor. The reactor includes a catalyst, a membrane in flow communication with the catalyst, and a heat exchanger integrated with the reactor.... Agent: John S. Beulick (12764)

20070066690 - Process for the charging of a catalyst into a reactor suitable for reactions in heterogenous phase: Process for the charging of a catalyst and for the running of a reactor in which reactions take place in multiphase systems, wherein a gaseous phase prevalently consisting of CO and H2 is bubbled into a suspension of a solid in the form of particles (catalyst) in a liquid (prevalently... Agent: Oblon, Spivak, Mcclelland, Maier & Neustadt, P.C.

20070060659 - Method for the production of hydrogen-containing gaseous mixtures: A method for the production of a hydrogen-containing gas composition, such as a synthesis gas including hydrogen and carbon monoxide. The molar ratio of hydrogen to carbon monoxide (H2:CO) in the synthesis gas can be well-controlled to yield a ratio that is adequate for the synthesis of useful products such... Agent: Marsh, Fischmann & Breyfogle LLP

20070049648 - Manufacture of fuels by a co-generation cycle: A process for the production of a hydrocarbon comprises subjecting a feed stream comprising carbon dioxide and a source of hydrogen to elevated temperatures in an oxygen reduced environment and obtaining a synthesis gas stream comprising carbon monoxide and hydrogen gas; and, utilizing the synthesis gas stream to produce at... Agent: Bereskin And Parr

20070049647 - Methanol feed for producing olefin streams: A method for producing an olefin stream is provided based on conversion of an initial natural gas stream into a synthesis gas. The resulting synthesis gas is enriched with CO2 previously separated from the natural gas stream. The synthesis gas is then used to form a methanol composition, which can...
