Patent ID: 7430858

Claim:
An inert gas production and compression system, comprising: a. a power and inert gas generator adapted to operate on diesel, oil, gas, and combinations thereof; b. an inert gas processing system comprising: i. an extraction system to receive exhaust gas from the power and inert gas generator; wherein the extraction system comprises: (a). a catalyst and particulate trap for receiving gas from the power and inert gas generator for removing a primary portion of particulates and unburned hydrocarbons and oxygen forming cleaned inert gas; ii. a cooling system to receive and cool the cleaned inert gas from the catalyst and particulate trap forming cooled inert gas; and iii. a separator for separating and removing liquids and a secondary portion of particulate from the cooled inert gas; and c. an inert gas compressor for receiving the cooled inert gas and receiving power from the power and inert gas generator; and d. a liquid level maintenance controller located on the separator for controlling liquid level in the separator, a pressure controller for setting the inlet gas pressure between the power inert gas generator, the catalyst, and particulate trap, a power and inert gas generator controller to control at least one of the speed or revolution per minute of the power and inert gas generator, and a emergency shut down controller, wherein the emergency shut down controller controls and monitors the compressor, and a microprocessor system to at least one of communicate and operate each controller.
