Funding Goals
CMU REQUESTS $1,000,000 IN FEDERAL FUNDS. WITH THE ADDITIONAL FUNDS, THE CMU AND UC DAVIS TEAM WILL BUILD ON THE DEMONSTRATED SUCCESS OF THE 3D-PRINTED PIN-AND-PLATE DESIGNS TO DEVELOP A HIGH EFFICIENCY, ROBUST POWER OXIPERATOR (PROX) IN PARTNERSHIP WITH PRABHU ENERGY (PEL). THE APPLICATION OF THE PROX WILL BE IN REMOTE OIL & GAS FIELDS WHERE EXCESS GAS (METHANE) WOULD OTHERWISE BE VENTED OR FLARED AND POWER GENERATION IS VALUABLE FOR DRIVING PUMPS ETC. THE CURRENTLY DEVELOPED PIN-ARRAY 100 CFM OXIPERATOR, ADAPTED TO PRESSURIZED OPERATION WITH COTS TURBOCHARGERS WILL BE DESIGNED AS AN ADAPTATION FROM THE CURRENT NETL-SUPPORTED EFFORT. SUCH PROX UNITS WILL BE PROTOTYPED AT THE OUTSET OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT SO THAT THEY ARE READY FOR IN-FIELD TESTING IN THE LATTER HALF OF THE PROJECT. OVERALL, THE PROPOSED TECHNOLOGY HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CREATE AN ENTIRELY NEW CATEGORY OF HEAT EXCHANGER THAT CAN ADDRESS HARD-TO-ABATE METHANE.
