Title: Process
Inventor: IVAN PHILLIP GREAGER
IPC: C10K1/08
Filed: 2020-05-07
Abstract: The present invention provides a process for the manufacture of a useful product from carbonaceous feedstock of fluctuating compositional characteristics, the process comprising the steps of: continuously providing the carbonaceous feedstock of fluctuating compositional characteristics to a gasification zone; gasifying the carbonaceous feedstock in the gasification zone to obtain raw synthesis gas; sequentially removing ammoniacal, sulphurous and carbon dioxide impurities from the raw synthesis gas to form desulphurised gas and recovering carbon dioxide in substantially pure form; converting at least a portion of the desulphurised synthesis gas to a useful product. Despite having selected a more energy intensive sub-process i.e. physical absorption for removal of acid gas impurities, the overall power requirement of the facility is lower on account of lower steam requirements and thereby leading to a decrease in the carbon intensity score for the facility.

Title: Controller
Inventor: RICHARD HARCOURT BURNS
IPC: G09F13/04
Filed: 2020-08-27
Abstract: A controller 1 for use in a wet environment e.g. digital shower controller, including display 10 for displaying information related to fluid delivery e.g. temperature, the display 10 having a light source 11 e.g. LED LCD screen, arranged behind a semi-transparent layer 12 and optionally a transparent layer 13 e.g. polycarbonate. The semi-transparent layer may be between screen and transparent layer, or vice versa. The semi-transparent layer 13 absorbs or reflects light incident towards the screen and allows light transmitted from it to pass. The screen therefore appears hidden when information is not displayed. The screen may transmit light of a significantly higher intensity than typical ambient light, the semi-transparent layer only allowing light to pass above a predetermined intensity. The display 10 may include inputs to the controller 1, e.g. rotatable circular bezel or the display itself may act as a button/switch by pivoting about point 17 against biasing springs 16 with flexible seal 15. Also claimed is a method of manufacture of a controller with a semi-transparent layer integrally formed with a transparent layer.

Title: Systems and methods for controlling air flow at a fuel cell
Inventor: CHRISTOPHER JAMES KIRK
IPC: H01M8/04746
Filed: 2021-03-05
Abstract: A system cools and provides oxidant to an open cathode PEM fuel cell stack which receives a first non-zero amount of fluid, preferably air, and a controller adjusts the fluid flow to a second amount, which is substantially greater (e.g. at least three times greater) than the first amount. The increase in flow rate of the fluid is performed in response to at least one of (i) a sensed attribute (e.g. voltage, moisture content) of one or more fuel cells changing by an amount satisfying a danger criterion and (ii) an elapsed operation time of the fuel cell stack satisfying a periodicity criterion. The adjustment enables continued use of the fuel cell stack. The adjustment preferably causes moisture from one or more cathodes to be removed or evaporated such that the fuel cell stack is not flooded with water, which would prevent efficient operation thereof. The adjustment is preferably achieved by the controller operating at least one of a restrictor 60-2A, 60-2B and diverter 60-2C, 60-2N coupled to the fuel cell stack 50 or a duct 64 of the fuel cell stack.
