OVERVIEW:

 The FireStopper® FFC Technology has demonstrated its capability to support a diverse range of applications, ensuring reliability and exceptional effectiveness tailored to each specific use. It offers economic benefits in both usage and application costs, while prioritizing safety for humans, animals, and the environment. Furthermore, the versatility of FireStopper® Products in various environmental conditions is a defining characteristic.

 Presented in this white paper, The FireStopper® FFC Technology provides an innovative and previously unavailable method for effectively minimizing CO2 emissions typically generated by the Petrochemical Industry during exploration and refining activities. For instance, we can examine recent statistics released in 2021:

According to the Chemical Engineering Journal Advances, oil refineries are industrial complexes that upgrade crude oil to fuels and chemical products that are of high monetary value.  However, due to the nature of these processes, refineries also produce significant amounts of CO₂ emissions.  According to statistics, the refining sector produced an estimated 478,000 metric tons of CO₂ every year, second only to power plants as a producer in CO₂ emissions.  Hence, the refining sector would serve as a viable candidate for deploying CO₂ capture infrastructure to abate CO₂ emissions.  In addition to the large CO₂ emissions, refineries of certain regions of the United State (i.e., Southeast Texas, USA) are well suited for Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) operations due to unique geological features that would allow for permanent CO₂ capture and recycling.  The Southeast Texas region is in close proximity to the shallow waters of the Gulf of Mexico where several off-shore depleted oil reserves are present. This proximity provides a distinct opportunity for the refineries of this region to permanently fix CO₂ within the sub geological layers, which then can be used to supply algae operations. 

 Table 1:

 

 Without taking in consideration the fact that the Planet cannot survive without CO₂, which is a key ingredient for maintaining the necessary balance to produce breathable air in our atmosphere.  This necessary gas is key in providing the environment with the necessary abundance of CO₂ for vegetation to survive on our planet, which plants require to produce the oxygen the atmosphere needs to supply the breathable air all species living on the phase of this Planet require for life, this fact is indisputable.

Nonetheless, FireStopper® is poised to capture, store, recycle for reuse, and enhance Industry’s capacity to add or enlarge the production of biofuel thus increasing profitability to the enterprise and by extension, enhancing the environment with additional renewable fuel source; thereby, establishing a “win-win” scenario for the Planet and its inhabitants. 

 

Discussion: Under the currently used technology, the power requirements of the CO₂ compression and dehydration units for the four selected refineries is shown in Fig. 7. The column duty for the glycol regenerator column was calculated by adding the absolute values of the reboiler duty and the condenser duty. As expected, the power required for CO₂ compression was found to depend on the amount of CO₂ emissions from the refineries (assuming that all the CO₂ emissions are available for capture and 90% of the CO₂ is recovered by the capture unit and used for compression). The order of the compression duty for the refineries is the same as that of the predicted CO₂ emissions (i.e., Total < Valero Premcor < ExxonMobil < Motiva).

 

Table2:

With the implementation of the FireStopper®’s EnviroSafeÒ Bio-Sphere_TM Product, for CO₂ capture and recycling, no additional energy is required to secure the CO₂ byproduct as the above example presents.  This is just one of the many advantages the FireStopper® innovations offer the World to save life, both Human & Animal, while saving the Planet’s biosphere.

 THE NOVEL SOLUTION:

 The binary solution offered by FireStopper® is simple and self-sufficient.  The process requires 2 components:

• The creation of an adjacent microalgae farm to the petrochemical Industry
• Reengineering the method presently employed to sequester & dispose of the captured CO₂.  

 The significance of developing algae as a remedy for this byproduct is considerable. Algae is recognized as a promising source of renewable fuel due to its rapid growth and capacity to accumulate lipids. Research has demonstrated both the potential of this energy source, and the inherent challenges associated with using organic algae as fuel.

Table 3 shows the results of the Proximate and ultimate analysis of various types of algae.
