Preliminary conversion of hydrocarbon fuel to H2 and CO within Quanttor reactor provides new opportunities for supersonic engines. Aircrafts in XXI century fly with hypersonic speed. It is achievable by specific engine design. There are no rotating parts in hypersonic propulsive jet; and the aircraft fitted with such an engine is capable of covering a distance of hundred kilometers in few seconds as well as going into a space-flight mode. Hypersonic propulsive jets allow for three categories of hypersonic aircrafts: winged missiles, airplanes (e.g. fighter planes and strategic bombers), and space vehicles able to lift-off and land-on as regular line aircrafts.

Quanttor technology application enabled arrangement of reliable and cost-effective power supply for oil-gas fields. High efficient output and low operational costs of Quanttor reactor provide for significant decrease in energy consumption for oil & gas extraction process.

A significant advantage of Quanttor reactor is its ability to utilize untreated associated petroleum gas with variable composition, calorie power values, and hydrogen sulfide content up to 5%. Structural features of reactor and application of special anti-corrosive materials enables conversion of associated gas directly without preliminary gas purification. It enables cutting costs for constructing a complicated gas purification system and its further operation, while decreasing two or three times the costs of servicing the system.

Obtaining «novel fuel» from associated petroleum gas

According to data provided by Energy Economy Research Institute of UES of Russia, share of natural gas in energy production in Russia in 2006 corresponded to 51%, and coal was 18%. Meanwhile, USA produce 52% of energy based on coal, Germany — 54%, China — 72%, and Poland — 94%. With the depletion of main oil-gas fields — consumption structure will inevitably change towards increase of coal fuel consumption.

However, coal energy engineering is closely related to pressing and virtually insoluble environmental problems; besides, human losses are often associated with coal extraction and transportation processes. Problems emerge at coal extraction sites because coal is lifted from the depth to the surface. Where coal is burnt- problems are even greater. Can we avoid the above disasters of coal energy engineering? We can — by means of preliminary coal conversion including underground conversion using QUANTTOR technology.

Coal-pit explosions most often occur due to combustion of methane that escapes into a mine opening during coal extraction. As a rule, methane concentration inside the coal-pit is thoroughly controlled. Special sensors are implemented that send a signal whenever the concentration exceeds prescriptive level of 2%. However, spontaneous gas emissions still occur, and in such a case, a small sparkle is quite enough for the combustion that provokes detonation. Yet, the detonation process researchers work with much approximation. Until now, no one took a risk to emulate methane-air mixture combustion and transition of burning into detonation reconstruction real pit conditions.

One of detonative explosion prevention methods is desensitization of methane-air mixtures. Under heated conditions, phlegmatizing properties of vapor-gas mixture within Quanttor reactor is far more efficient than liquefied nitrogen and carbon dioxide used for the same purposes.

Development of laser weapons-in missile & air defense — is facing numerous challenges. Tests carried out for prototypes of such weapons confirm insufficient reliability of optical systems. For major part of such projects, it’s optical systems’ stability that continues to be a weak spot. During laser operation part of energy is inevitably released at the lenses in a form of heat. The mightier is the strength of the beam, the more destructive it is to mirrors and lenses. It results in quick overheating which destroys the optics.

Cooling system for Quanttor reactor is adaptable for heavy-duty gas laser applications. Implementation of the system guarantees that under actual operating conditions laser will not «roast» itself. Cooling system offered is pace effective and ultra-reliable.

Implementation of proprietary chemical agents mixing system for gas lasers enables elimination of another bottleneck in the way of expanding capacities of gas lasers — chemical agents mixing with the use of nozzle-bucket system.

The pit is fitted with engineering facilities for leadaway of liquid and gaseous waste decomposition products and pumping equipment is installed. Extracted gas is transferred via pipelines to power stations to turbine generators, to boiler-houses, to furnaces, etc.

In the first 2…3 months of installation-CO2 and H2 are released from the closed pit filled with household waste. Then the adequate landfill gas starts to emerge, and continues to do so for 3…50 years. After 25 years of dump exploitation methane output starts to gradually decrease. Conversion of land fills gas (methane) helps decrease greenhouse effect up to 8…10 times. However, when using landfill gas as the fuel source-one faces some difficulties that are virtually unsurpassable for currently operating combustion chambers, furnaces, and burners. It explained by a high content of CO2 (over 30%), flame propagation rate, as well as its stability that is decreased, and range of regulation that is narrowed. Quanttor defines the methane conversion process specifications at various degrees of LFG neutralizing carbon dioxide and water vapors. QUANTTOR reactor helps eliminate adverse effects of utilization-i.e. provides neutralized, low-calorie LFG (Q=1500…2000 kcal/ncbm).
