The Commercial Engineering that has led to the DMG® System has been designed to operate under extremely rigorous conditions. Utilizing a number of advances in material science, the DMG® System has evolved from its roots of a 100% ceramic thermal chamber into its Commercial design today – which utilizes a number of exotic materials, rated to temperatures of well above 1000°C, in the newly designed thermal conversion chamber. By recycling the heat generated within the system, the process is able to dramatically reduce the parasitic drag effect of operation, leading to an extremely efficient process that can operate continuously in the most strenuous of environments.
Controlling the entire DMG® process is a key to the successful production of EcoSynthesis Gas, a product rich in hydrogen and other commercially desirable chemical precursors – and is a significant component of the PowerHouse IP. Through the management of multiple temperature envelopes to the timely injection of oxidant, the control system is “self-managing” with multiple sensors and feedback systems to ensure the utmost in efficient, and most importantly, safe, operation.
The DMG® System continues to be enhanced as new breakthroughs in electronic technology material science occur. An on-going regimen of continued testing and trialing is envisioned for our operations at the Thornton Science Park with the G3 Process Demonstrator as well as new, bench-scale, operating units. The efficiency of the process has been improved over two-fold in the past 18 months alone.
