Patent ID: 8202083

Claim:
A process for increasing the combustibility of a natural gas fuel, the process comprising the steps of: (a) passing, in a continuous flow, a mass quantity of the natural gas fuel through an elongated hollow conduit, the conduit being comprised of diamagnetic material; (b) exposing the mass quantity of the natural gas fuel within the conduit simultaneously to a rotating magnetic field of one polarity and a rotating thermal field, the rotating magnetic field of one polarity being created by a plurality of electromagnetic units, the plurality of electromagnetic units being arranged in groups vertically on an exterior of the elongated hollow conduit, the groups of electromagnetic units extending orthogonally, and the plurality of electromagnetic units being equidistantly spaced within each group around the circumference of the exterior of the elongated hollow conduit, and the groups of electromagnetic units being offset from each other over a vertical distance of the exterior of the elongated hollow conduit, and the rotating thermal field being created by a core of each of the plurality of the electromagnetic units, wherein the plurality of electromagnetic units are maintained at a temperature between 31° C. and 65° C., the mass quantity of the natural gas fuel, before entering the conduit being pre-heated and having a temperature between 18° C. and 30° C., so that the combustibility of the natural gas fuel is enhanced; and (c) directing the natural gas fuel, thus, treated towards a burner.
