HOW EXACTLY DOES THE IPG FLAMELESS GENERATOR DELIVER POLLUTANT-FREE POWER FROM ANY RENEWABLE FUEL ?
To address the risks around uncertain renewable fuel supply , our founders set out to create a fuel-agnostic power generation technology - one that could operate on any fuel but without producing pollutant emissions . Since the fuel-specificity of existing power generation technologies is determined by the combustion process , IPG began innovating in ways to release the chemical energy stored in a fuel , the result being our patented “ flameless combustion ” process . IPG ’ s approach to flameless combustion means our turbine can literally
“ burn ” any net-zero fuel , no matter the quality or calorific value , be that hydrogen , biogas , landfill gas or even ammonia . This process is made possible by our Ceramic Heat Regenerator , which recycles waste heat from the exhaust of the Ceramic Turbine and channels it through the combustion chamber . Incoming air is 930 ° C - well l above the auto-ignition or spontaneous combustion temperature of methane , biofuels and hydrogen . Fuel is then injected into and distributed by the air stream , and by ensuring there are no areas of high fuel density , no flame is formed . Eliminating the flame also means the environment doesn ’ t enable the formation of harmful pollutant emissions . energydigital . com 17
