U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Sequestration, Hydrogen, and Clean Fuels from Coal                                                                                   Booth Nos. 14 and 15

Emerging technologies combined with today’s energy and environmental requirements are providing a unique opportunity for energy security and zero emission power generation, while moving closer to a hydrogen economy.  Our nation’s most abundant energy resource, coal, is a flexible feedstock that can be converted into high quality products such as liquid transportation fuels, substitute natural gas, other fuels and chemicals, and hydrogen.  Economic and clean production of hydrogen and other alternative fuels from coal is achievable by leveraging recent advances in technology combined with advances in delivery and storage.  In addition, the Carbon Sequestration program supports initiatives for the efficient and effective separation, capture, and storage of CO₂ – the predominant greenhouse gas associated with fossil fuel use.  Hydrogen-based plants, such as that envisioned in DOE’s FutureGen facility, will combine hydrogen and other chemical production with CO₂ sequestration for highly efficient electricity production with virtually no emissions other than water.  Contact: Dr. C.

Techinomics                                                                                            Booth No. 21

Techinomics Rotating Throats feature patented inlet vane/ledge-cover technology that delivers unmatched performance and the industry’s only 15-year wear-breakage limited warranty. Our patented converging-diverging nozzle incorporates a venturi effect converting pressure to velocity and returns more over-sized particles to the grinding zone resulting in increased coal fineness. Techinomics provides superior primary classification, finer-cleaner coal, less mercury in the coal and less rock to serve as a source for slagging in the boiler. Because our design delivers increased velocity without increasing primary air mass, less oxygen is available to form NO_x. Less NO_x means more efficient Low NO_x burner operation, reduced chemical costs and extended catalyst life. Techinomics Inc. 1382 Old Freeport Road, Suite 3AR- Pittsburgh PA , 15238 .
