Latest Patents

Noble is associated with 1 patent: “Kinetic Enhancements for Thermal Pyrolysis Process, Hybrid Thermal-Electric Pyrolysis, and Associated Systems and Methods.” The patent describes incorporating a kinetic booster into a thermal pyrolysis system. The process modifies the incoming hydrocarbon flow to lower its activation energy and/or introduce catalysts, then heats it in a pyrolysis chamber to produce solid carbon and hydrogen gas. The system also removes at least some of the solid carbon from the reactor’s output flow.
