Title: Janice L. Kasbaum: Innovator in Hydrogen Recycling and Heat Recovery Technologies
Introduction
Janice L. Kasbaum is a prominent inventor based in Seabrook, TX (US). She has made significant contributions to the fields of hydrogen recycling and heat recovery technologies. With a total of 4 patents to her name, her work has the potential to impact energy efficiency and sustainability.
Latest Patents
One of her latest patents is titled "Recycle of hydrogen from hydroprocessing purge gas." This invention relates to an integrated gasification and hydroprocessing process. In this process, a hydrocarbonaceous fuel is gasified to produce syngas, and a portion of the hydrogen is removed from the syngas. The hydrogen is then compressed and used as an excess reactant in a hydroprocessing unit. Hydrogen gas is recovered from the hydroprocessing unit product, purified, compressed, and recycled back to the hydroprocessing unit. The hydrogen-poor syngas is expanded in an expander that drives the compressor for the recycled hydrogen gas. The expanded syngas is then combined with light hydrocarbons removed from the recycle hydrogen gas stream, combusted in a gas turbine, and used for power generation.
Another notable patent is "Hot oil integrated with heat recovery steam generator and method of operation." The primary objective of this invention is to provide a process and apparatus to recover heat from a combustion engine turbine exhaust. This involves exchanging heat between the combustion engine turbine exhaust and both a heat transfer medium and water. The exhaust is cooled in a series of heat exchange steps that ultimately produce a heated heat transfer medium fluid and superheated steam.
