Latest Patents

One of her latest patents is titled "Method for enhancing combustion reactions in high heat transfer environments." This invention relates to a method of combusting a fuel gas with a stoichiometric or near stoichiometric amount of molecular oxygen in the presence of a controlled amount of a diluent. This approach enhances the extent of combustion reactions in high heat transfer environments, allowing the energy released to heat a fluid by direct contact with the flame. The diluent can differ from the fluid to be heated in terms of composition, temperature, or pressure, and it can also be the same as or derived from the fluid to be heated.

Another notable patent is "Stabilizing combustion of oxygen and flue gas." This invention enhances the flame stability of a burner operated with a mixture of oxygen and flue gas as the oxidant. The stability is improved by including a second burner that combusts fuel with oxidant having a high oxygen content.
