Embodiments of the invention provide a process in which a gas comprising biomethane having a heating value of less than about 925 BTU/cubic foot is introduced to a pipeline system that is connected to at least one source of natural gas having a heating value of at least about 950 BTU/cubic foot. The gas comprising biomethane combines with natural gas in the pipeline system to produce a mixed gas having a heating value below about 925 BTU/cubic foot. An amount of natural gas at least equal to the amount of gas comprising biomethane is withdrawn from the pipeline system for use as a transportation fuel, a fuel intermediate or as a feedstock for producing a fuel. The process can enable fuel credit generation and/or reductions in life cycle greenhouse gas emissions.

The invention relates to a method for controlling a gas turbine, operating with an integral fuel reactivity measurement concept. In order to fast determine a safe operation range of the gas turbine with respect to flashback and blow-out, the method includes deducing the fuel composition and therefore the fuel reactivity by combined measurements of (n−1) physico-chemical properties of a fuel mixture with n>1 fuel components, for deriving the concentration of one component for each physico-chemical property of the fuel gas mixture or for determining of a ratio of the fuels with known compositions and adjusting at least one operation parameter of the gas turbine at least partially based on the determined property of the fuel gas mixture entering the combustors. With the technical solution of the present invention, by way of detecting fast changes in fuel gas, it is assured that the gas turbine may operate with varieties of fuel gas under optimized performance and in safe operation ranges. In actual applications, the present invention may improve flexibility of gas turbines and cost effectiveness of operation of the gas turbines.

In accordance with one aspect of the invention, a method of operating a well using gas processed at a same well site is provided. The method discloses of providing a well site defined by a perimeter. In ground fossil fuel is extracted and distributed to a processing facility. The processing facility is wholly located within the perimeter of the well site.

An exemplary downstream destination is a combustion engine, wherein the processed gas is burned to create an amount of work. The work drives a device also located within the perimeter. Thus, this method provides a way to draw fossil fuel upwards, process it, and burn it, all within the perimeter of the well site.

Disclosed is an apparatus for manufacturing alternative combustion fuel for an industrial boiler, which is capable of easily forming an ionic bond between water and oil, of directly conducting a combustion process using a burner without the need for a preheating process to a predetermined temperature before the combustion, and of decreasing the discharge of air pollutants, such as sulfur gas, nitrogen gas, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and dioxin.
99 Method for control of NOx emission from combustors using fuel dilution US10701763 2003-11-04 US07162864B1 2007-01-16 Robert W. Schefer; Jay O Keller
A method of controlling NOx emission from combustors. The method involves the controlled addition of a diluent such as nitrogen or water vapor, to a base fuel to reduce the flame temperature, thereby reducing NOx production. At the same time, a gas capable of enhancing flame stability and improving low temperature combustion characteristics, such as hydrogen, is added to the fuel mixture. The base fuel can be natural gas for use in industrial and power generation gas turbines and other burners. However, the method described herein is equally applicable to other common fuels such as coal gas, biomass-derived fuels and other common hydrocarbon fuels. The unique combustion characteristics associated with the use of hydrogen, particularly faster flame speed, higher reaction rates, and increased resistance to fluid-mechanical strain, alter the burner combustion characteristics sufficiently to allow operation at the desired lower temperature conditions resulting from diluent addition, without the onset of unstable combustion that can arise at lower combustor operating temperatures.
