MUMBAI, India, Oct. 11 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202547087955 A) filed by Gti Energy, Des Plaines, U.S.A., on Sept. 16, for 'syngas yield enhancement in converting carbonaceous feeds by gasification and other oxidative methods.'

Inventor(s) include El Zahab, Zaher; Li, Bo; Eastland, Anthony; and Van Dyk, Johan.

The application for the patent was published on Oct. 10, under issue no. 41/2025.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Processes are disclosed that utilize beneficial reactions downstream of carbonaceous feed (e.g., biomass) oxidative conversion technologies, and advantageously under conditions (e.g., high temperatures) and/or with the syngas effluent quality (e.g., having particulates and/or other impurities) characteristic of raw syngas exiting such technologies (e.g., prior to, or upstream of, certain syngas purification operations). Such conversion technologies utilize an oxygen-containing feed or, more broadly, an oxidant-containing feed. The beneficial reactions may be carried out by the introduction of hydrogen for performing the reverse water-gas shift (RWGS) reaction and/or by the introduction of one or more hydrocarbons (e.g., methane, ethane, and/or propane) for performing the dry reforming reaction. These and other reactions can advantageously adjust the composition of the syngas obtained (e.g., as the raw syngas from an oxidative conversion technology) in a manner benefitting its subsequent use in providing value-added products such as liquid hydrocarbons."

The patent application was internationally filed on Feb. 20, 2024, under International application No.PCT/US2024/016484.
