Insulation for gaseous reactor component that must withstand high temperatures

high temperature, reducing atmosphere, insulation, Iconel
- Resultado deseado
  
  This organization is seeking insulation for an internally cooled cylindrical component of a gaseous reactor. The end of the cooled cylinder inside the reactor is exposed to high heat fluxes of 1-3 MW/sq meter and an atmosphere consisting primarily of carbon monoxide and hydrogen. The aim is to lower the temperature of the exposed end of the cylinder by 100-200°C. The insulation should be durable, last at least one year and be able to adhere to or blanket a smooth metal surface.

  BACKGROUND
  Conditions inside the gaseous reactor are extreme. Ambient temperature runs about 1500°C at 50–60 atmospheres, with a wind velocity of about 100m/s. The process runs continuously. Projected working lifetime of the reactor between maintenance shutdowns is two years; but because the cylinder component has not been able to be insulated sufficiently, reactor operations require much more frequent shutdowns.
  
  The component is roughly cylindrical with one end placed into the high pressure, high temperature conditions. Only the 0.1–0.2 meter portion of the cylinder that extends into the reactor must be protected. (The entire cylinder is round on one end with a diameter of 0.4 meter, total length of about 3.5 meters and weight of 2,000 kg.) All surfaces are of convex curvature. Currently, the cylinder is cooled internally, and this brings the outer surface to a temperature of about 700°C. This organization needs to insulate the end of the cylinder that enters the reactor (about 0.1–0.2 meter) so as to lower the surface temperature by 100-200°C. Additional internal cooling is not an option.
  
  The failure mode of the cylinder is thermal fatigue, which is failure by cracking causing by alternating stresses caused by alternating temperatures.
  
  Thermal barrier coatings, and underlying bond coatings to increase their adherence to various substrates, are known. However, those known to work at high temperatures have been designed for oxidizing combustion atmospheres; those designed to work with reducing atmospheres are perhaps not well known at similar temperatures. Coatings which work at temperatures of 300-400° C are known to work in reducing (hydrogen-containing) gases with hydrogen sulfide. In petroleum refinery process equipment This application is unique in that it is both high temperature and reducing.
  
  CONSTRAINTS
  • Must tolerate extreme environment for two or more years: exposure to a gas temperature of 1500°C, carbon monoxide-hydrogen reducing environment at 50–60 atmospheres, modest but high-frequency temperature fluctuations of 2-3 cycles per second and significant pressure fluctuations also of 2-3 per second, continuous operation, and turbulence inside the reactor.
  • Must lower the surface temperature of the cooled component by 100-200°C.
  • Must survive exposure to humid conditions when exposed to ambient air, as well as shipping and handling by plant personnel.
  • Must be chemically inert to reactions with carbon monoxide and hydrogen.
  • Thermal conductivity must be no more than one-half of the value of zirconium oxide (2.4 Btu/(hr-ft-oF or 4.1 W/m-oC)
  • Coating must stick/adhere to a smooth metal surface made of Inconel (nickel-chromium-iron) and stainless steel (iron-chromium-nickel) alloys. The components contain high pressure cooling water at a temperature of 180oC.
  • Failure (loss/spalling) of any insulating coat should not present a problem to the substrate or process. The insulating coating cannot affect the substrate other than by reducing its temperature.
  • A “nice to have” feature of the material surface is an emissivity of no more than 0.3, relative to a black body of 1.0. (a good reflector of thermal energy). Lower values will be superior in terms of reflecting more thermal energy away from the component.
  
  POSSIBLE SOLUTION AREAS
  Industries of interest might be aerospace propulsion, space craft propulsion, fossil fired combustion facilities, petrochemical plants, chemicals plants, heating, ceramics, insulation, thermal radiation management, pulp and paper processing facilities, nuclear power plants, incinerator facilities, studies/equipment by power generation facilities and organizations and similar organizations.
  
  Field Of Use and Intended Application
  High-temperature gaseous reactor.
  
  Desired Outcome
  Ideally, a coating that can be applied to the cylinder component to drop its temperature by 100-200°C.
  
  A substitute material for the Inconel alloy that is more resistant to thermal fatigue (higher fatigue strength, lower coefficient of thermal expansion and/or higher thermal conductivity) might be another avenue.
  
  Previously Attempted Solutions
  Plasma spray zirconium oxide, such as that used on aero and land-based turbine engine blades. This coating also requires a bond coat. This coating has failed in previous tests in similar conditions. The suspicion is that it is because the coating is designed for high temperatures in an oxidizing atmosphere (a jet engine), while the chemical process in question is highly reducing with hydrogen and carbon monoxide and the oxidized bond coat may not be stable in contact with hot hydrogen and carbon monoxide.
  
  Refractory bricks have been considered. However, the insulation must be tolerant of mechanical abuse. Refractory bricks tend to break and crack, causing thermal expansion problems. Leer más

  We are searching for an effective means of reducing or removing the malodour (unpleasant smell) produced when organic matter is being digested, naturally degrades or is industrially processed / incinerated. We are seeking removal and/or absorption technology to address this unpleasant odour or a means to stop the volatiles migrating & then subsequently adhering to nearby surfaces. An initial “screening test” and longer term methodology for quantifying odour on surfaces, including skin, would also be of interest.
  
  When organic material degrades, by whatever means, it produces/emits a complex mixture of volatiles. Several of these volatiles have been identified, one of the most odorous is Dimethyl Trisulfide (TriSulphide). We are interested in selectively removing various malodorous molecules, (as indicated below), from effluent streams where the particle size is 0.5 -5.0 micron.
  The objective is to reduce or remove or absorb the malodour and not to mask it. Although the primary objective is not to mask the odour, particularly effective masking technologies may however be of interest.
  
  The malodorous compounds that have been identified as being of interest to remove include:
  Compound Empirical formula Density Molecular weight
  
  2-Ethyl-3.5-Dimethyl Pyrazine C8H12N2 0.964 g/cm3 136
  Dimethyl Trisulphide C2H6S3 1.22g/cm3 126
  2-(1-Methyl Ethyl) Pyridine C5H5N 0.956g/cm3 79
  4-Acetyl Pyrazole C5H6N2O 1.19g/cm3 110
  Cyclohexanone C6H10O 0.953g/cm3 98
  
  Innovative non-toxic technology / materials to selectively remove such molecules and other similar pungent volatiles must work exceptionally quickly, i.e. in seconds. They must also be stable at ambient temperatures until use and have the ability to work in complex, harsh, possibly high temperature environments. The solution should be adaptable to suit, amongst other manifestations, a small personal device, be economically viable, available for mass manufacture internationally and have strong associated IP.
  
  We are open to solutions from all sources but believe the following areas may be fruitful:
  
  • Innovative absorbent materials e.g. advanced activated carbon, Sepiolite etc
  • Encapsulation technologies
  • Waste water/effluent processing. (e.g. developed for use by human operator)
  Agricultural or farm waste industry
  • Mass produced “Zeolites” focussed on similar volatiles
  • Life science solutions
  • Industrial process scrubbers

Novel means to stabilise traditionally unstable actives such as hopcalite and manganese peroxide

Carbon Monoxide (CO), stabilisation of actives
- Resultado deseado
  
  We are looking for a novel means to stabilise in ambient atmosphere / temperatures traditionally unstable actives such as hopcalite and / or manganese peroxide, for use in Carbon Monoxide removal / adsorption. The technology will be used in a small, disposable consumer product requiring no power source.

  Detalles de la demanda :
  
  Carbon monoxide (CO) is a highly poisonous, colourless and odourless gas produced as a result of incomplete burning of carbon-containing fuels in combustion processes, and can occur in a number of industrial and domestic settings including: chemical manufacturing processes; furnaces, kilns and foundries; exhaust gas of internal combustion engines, motor vehicles and fuel cell vehicles; domestic space and combustion heaters; and smoke.
  
  Our client is searching for an innovative technology to selectively remove / filter carbon monoxide (CO) from exhaust streams that has the ability to work in various complex systems, be stable until use, but compact enough to use in personal respirators / masks (e.g. for industry workers, scuba divers, fire-fighters, etc).
  
  Carbon monoxide is one of a number of combustion gases and therefore solutions to reduce this have to be able to work in the presence of a wide range of other gases and particulates – i.e. not a clean environment.
  
  Whilst there are a number of technologies that can remove carbon monoxide under certain conditions (such as adsorption and catalysis), there are a number of environmental factors that affect the performance. Potential solutions to address these factors could be found in new catalysts, processes to improve efficiency of existing catalysts, etc:-
  
  Materials / Processes Properties
  • Emission control catalysts
  • Adsorption
  • Oxidation catalysts to convert carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide
  • Metals and metal oxides such as gold, palladium, platinum, titania, alumina, ceria, zirconia, iron oxide, zinc oxide and magnesium oxide
  • Nanoparticle based catalysts
  • Process to encapsulate reactive particles
  • Encapsulated liquids with permeable shell / membrane
  • Increase stability of oxidising agents (i.e. Hopcalite – copper manganese oxide - in presence of water vapour
  • Chemical additives for membranes, etc • High selectivity towards CO
  • Stable during storage – active only in presence of CO
  • Maintain performance under high flow rate (fast kinetics) – 1 litre/min
  • Able to function at room temperature Non-toxic / no toxic by-products
  • Low cost
  • Ideally in granular form, but could be powder / liquid
  • Compact – either in film, membrane or paper format or dense foam / granules
  • Ability to work in complex environment (in the presence of other gases and particulates)
  
  Our client is a £multi-million company interested in advanced materials for the filtration / removal of harmful gases from exhaust streams. They are continually investing in product development and have appropriate R&D facilities to develop appropriate innovative technologies. Eventual products will have global markets and client is searching for innovative technology and processes, and will consider any reasonable commercial arrangements including licensing in, purchasing, strategic alliances and partnering arrangements.

Printed electronics technologies that enable thicker, higher-viscosity circuitry, good adhesion, etc

printing electronics technology
- Resultado deseado
  
  This organization seeks printing technology to produce higher-current miniature circuitry.

  BACKGROUND
  
  Applying print technologies such as inkjet to circuitry offers rapid prototyping and potentially inexpensive production opportunities for many electronic devices that range from RFID tags, through intelligent cables, to flexible displays and touch screens.
  
  Currently, this company prints their circuitry using a relatively low-viscosity ink that incorporates silver nanoparticles. They print in a single layer -- with some adhesion difficulties, depending on substrate -- and then electroplate on top of that in order to provide a trace that can handle higher currents. They are aware of several printing technologies that may be adapted to the process, such as variations on inkjet, metal-jet, gravure, screen, stencil, and laser transfer printing, each of which has advantages and drawbacks.
  
  They are looking for several possible technological answers:
  
  o An alternate ink material that may have lower viscosity but that can produce the trace thickness capable of handling sufficient current.
  
  o Higher silver loadings (on the order of 40-60%).
  
  o An inexpensive seed ink that could be electroplated (or used with electroless deposit) and then electroplated afterwards, but where the seed is much less expensive than the silver currently used. Finished thickness needs to be in the range of 50-70 microns.
  
  Key characteristics include good adhesion to a variety of substrates, including dielectrics and polymers including flexible substrates, as well as the usual properties of good ink: jettable, small drop volumes, and excellent control over surface tension and viscosity.
  
  CONSTRAINTS
  
  o The ability to print thicker traces to handle higher currents.
  
  o The ability to print multiple layers. Currently, later passes disturb traces laid down by earlier passes.
  
  o Higher silver loadings for the ink, or a different seed technology that is less expensive than silver.
  
  o Excellent control over surface tension and viscosity.

  Las infecciones adquiridas en el hospital son una gran preocupación en los hospitales. Las infecciones transmitidas por el aire no se abordan porque hay presencia de personas y no es recomendable la aplicación de productos químicos. Un muestreo del aire realizado periódicamente es poco útil, ya que se tardan varios dias en conocer la presencia de patógenos. Para cuando se tienen los resultados de las pruebas de cultivo puede que la infección ya se haya extendido.
  
  Si hay un dispositivo que puede detectar las UFC y caracterizar los agentes patógenos en un corto período de tiempo de dos horas, se puede abordar la actual situación en los hospitales de una manera más productiva, lo que permitirá a los hospitales tomar medidas rápidas y adecuadas en la reducción las infecciones transmitidas por el aire. Más importante aún, esto asegurará una mejor política antibiótica. El resultado neto es un mejor cuidado del paciente y la reducción de infecciones cruzadas. Leer más

Energy efficiency in centralized buildings: solar-housing-floor information flow.

Energy efficiency, energy management, photovoltaic, solar energy, buildings
- Resultado deseado
  
  Our informatics’ product allows knowing in each moment the operation and the state of a building with centralized energy production. We wish to improve the energy efficiency of the building using the information that we have of the housings, the production plant, and the solar panel and to make interact them together aiming to get a more efficient global work. We need therefore proposals from experts in buildings energy efficiency.

We wish to improve the energetic efficiency of the building using the information that we have of the housings, the production plant, and the solar panel and to make interact them together aiming to get a more efficient global work. We need therefore proposals from experts in buildings energy efficiency.
  
  We have information of the three areas (temperature, flows, etc) and all the information that we need of the system and /or the environment, but this information is only collected and the three areas are maintained independently, flow within them does not exist.
  
  Our system telemanages 12 centralized buildings, with a remote control system in real time and with an alert intelligent system. Currently there is a single interaction within the three basic areas: the heating demand in the building (number of flats that are demanding heating simultaneously) is used to have a more reliable control of the boiler, this allows saving energy (reducing the potency of the boiler) when the demand is low.
  
  We believe that the yield of the building can be improved if the three areas work and interact together: Could the solar panel information be useful for the production plant? We therefore wish to receive proposals of experts in energy management that could provide us with the knowledge of how to use the information we have, how to modify the behaviour (the control) of an area taking into account the acquired values in other areas, etc… in order to improve the yield of the building.
  
  The success of the received proposals will be evaluated comparing the yield with or without the interaction between areas.

Real-time sensor to measure component surface exposure to strain, heat flux, and temperature

sensor, high temperature, heat flux, strain
- Resultado deseado
  
  We need to determine the exposure/service conditions of a component inside a high pressure gaseous reaction pressure vessel in real time while it is operating at extremely high temperatures and pressures. We want to measure surface conditions of strain (first choice) and heat flux (second choice) and temperature (third choice) inside an operating gaseous on several locations on a component.

  BACKGROUND
  Ambient conditions seen by the component inside a high pressure reactor are a gas temperature of 1500°C, gas pressure of 50–60 atmospheres, heat fluxes of 1–3 MW/m2 though the component and a CO/Hydrogen gas. Analyses of the damaged and failed equipment indicate that surface temperatures on the specially cooled component must have reached 600°C – 700°C and that temperature must be cycling to have produced the thermal fatigue cracks observed. The component is internally cooled by high pressure cooling water operating at a temperature of 180 degrees C. We need to document and monitor surface conditions of the component inside a running reactor.
  
  The component is roughly cylindrical with one end placed into the high pressure, high temperature conditions. The cylinder is round on one end with a diameter of 0.4 meter, total length of about 3.5 meters and weight of 2,000 kg. All surfaces are of convex curvature. Only the end of the cylinder exposed to the reactor – about 0.1-0-.2 meter x 0.4 meter diameter – must be monitored. Measurements of areas of a square centimeter would be adequate, while smaller areas of 5mm x 5mm would be great. A total of 10 locations will be adequate over the surface of the component. Surface properties to be measured in priority order are 1) strain, 2) heat flux, and 3) temperature.
  
  The component wall thicknesses are 2-4 mm and are made of Inconel (nickel-chromium-iron) and stainless steel (iron-chromium-nickel) alloys. The components contain high pressure cooling water at a temperature of 180 degrees C.
  
  When operating, the reactor pressure vessel is sealed and also contains the component. Any measurement information from the sensor must be conveyable out through the pressure vessel, by electrical signals via insulated wires or via optical fibers or other means.
  
  Perhaps use of X-ray diffraction to measure the lattice strain of the alloy at the surface could be accomplished, which is a known method to measure materials strain for research.
  
  CONSTRAINTS
  • Seek a ready-to-use, mature, and demonstrated measuring/sensing technology. We do not have time to enter a development cycle.
  • Able to withstand the extreme conditions inside a sealed, high pressure gaseous reactor, and report in real time through a pressure vessel.
  • Maximum thickness of sensor should be a 3 mm. The presence of the sensor should not greatly affect the measurement of strain, heat flux, or temperature.
  • Need concept to adhere/glue/weld/stick the sensor to the smooth component surface or
  a concept or method to monitor the surface by “looking” at the surface with some sort of light or radiation
  • Frequency of sensor response should be at least +/- 2 seconds.
  • 1st choice - component surface engineering strains to be measured are 0.05% +/- 0.02%
  • 2nd choice - heat fluxes to be measured are 1-3 MW/square meter +/- 0.2 MW/square meter
  • 3rd choice - component surface temperatures to be measured are in the range of 400-800 degrees C to a tolerance of +/- 20 degrees C.
  • Sensor life during operation of the reactor should be at least one month and preferably one year.
  
  POSSIBLE SOLUTION AREAS
  Industries of interest might be aerospace propulsion (engines), space craft propulsion (engines and atmosphere reentry protection systems),, fossil fired combustion facilities, petrochemical plants, chemicals plants, heating, ceramics manufacturing, steel/iron making, heat treatment, insulation, thermal radiation management, pulp and paper processing facilities, nuclear power plants, incinerator facilities, studies/equipment by power generation facilities and similar organizations.
  
  Field Of Use and Intended Application
  Monitor surface conditions of components used in high pressure and high temperature chemical reactors. The components under consideration are devices which inject reactants and materials into high pressure and high temperature reactors.
  
  Desired Outcome
  Real-time instrumentation to determine the exposure/service mechanical surface conditions of a component which is vital to the function of a chemical process. The information would be used to diagnose equipment failure mechanisms, to validate adequate lifetimes of new equipment and to measure conditions, which could then be reproduced in equipment prototype testing rigs to evaluate alternate equipment designs and materials before substitution into commercial plants. The effort aims to increase component lifetimes, which will reduce maintenance costs and also improve plant productivity.
  
  Previously Attempted Solutions
  Welded thermocouples have been placed in various locations, but they compromised the integrity of the component being measured, have limited lifetimes and are fragile in operation and during installation.
  
  Optical pyrometers were used to look at the surface to measure temperatures, but particles in the gas interfered with the measurements.
  
  Strain gauges were not successfully placed on the face of the component being tested. We could not understand how to attach the gauges to the surface and also get the signal out of the pressure vessel.
  
  We also use mathematical modeling to determine the heat fluxes, surface temperatures, and surface strains of interest. But we need real measurement to confirm or to adjust or validate these predictions.
