Developing Innovative New Technologies for
Energy Independence and Environmental Responsibility:

 

A Clean, Low Cost, Alternative Fuel, Direct Combustion Engine:

Proe Afterburning™ Cycle Engine

High Efficiency Combined with Total Fuel Flexibility

As a Stand Alone Combustion Engine:

·        Allows Direct Combustion of  any Solid, Liquid or Gaseous Fuel

·        Eliminates the Cost and Complexity of Digesters, Gasifiers, Fermenters, Distillers, Reformers etc.

·        Ideal for renewable alternative fuels: Second Generation Biofuels (Switch Grass, Miscanthus etc.), Bio-waste, Refuse, Prunings, Corn Husks, Shredded Paper, Wood Pellets or Scrap, etc.

·        Provides the cleanest and most efficient means possible for Direct Combustion of Carbon Neutral Solid Fuels and Cellulosic Biomass (without the need for a gasifier or digester) for Village Power, Agricultural Waste Power, and Power from all Types of Combustible Waste.

·        Fuel economy and global warming emissions even better than a Fuel Cell  - right now - without waiting for the “Hydrogen Economy” (see the Fuel Cell comparison page)

·        Clean exhaust meets 21st Century Environmental Requirements Without Costly Pollution Controls

As a Combined Combustion Process & Engine – Symbiotic™ Waste Heat Recovery:

·        Double the Efficiency of  Parasitic Waste Heat Recovery (Steam, ORC etc) that only takes waste heat - without giving back to the combustion process

·        Can Truly Optimize Industrial Combustion/Heating Processes (Kilns, Foundries, Ovens, Heat Treat Furnaces, Incinerators, etc) by:

1.      Producing Shaft and/or Electric Power from Recovered Waste Heat

2.      Providing a Clean, Preheated, Air Blast back to the Process for Symbiotic™ waste heat recovery to the original process as well!

As a Waste Heat Recovery Cycle to another Internal Combustion or Gas Turbine Engine

·        In the Proe HRPG® Heat Recovery Power Generator Configuration it Can meet Waste Heat Recovery Goals by:

1.      Producing Additional Shaft and/or Electric Power from Recovered Exhaust Heat

2.      Providing Cogeneration Heating with Clean, Heated, Air  that can go Directly to a Building’s Heat Ducts

Either Way:

·        Simple, Conventional Construction

·        Totally New – Not Steam or Stirling

1.      Open Cycle that Operates on Air

2.      No “Working Fluid” to Leak

3.      Superior Efficiency, Reliability, and Maintainability

·        Much Simpler and More Efficient than Stirling Engines  (see the Stirling comparison adobe file)

·        Long engine life: Moving Parts not Exposed to Combustion Products

·        Low cost to manufacture, high profit

·        Endorsed by 2008 “Innovation in Renewable Energy” Award by the Northern Ohio Chapter – Association of Energy Engineers

·        Competition prevented by broad patent protection (U.S. #7028476, US Patent 6,672,063, US Patent 6,390,185,  U.S. #5894729) and pending
