HIGHLY REPLICABLE, AND INTEGRATED SYSTEM FOR MITIGATING METHANE EMISSIONS FROM NATURAL GAS-FIRED LEAN-BURN ENGINES (NG-FLBES) KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY (KSU), UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA (OU), AND COOPER MACHINERY SERVICES (FORMERLY GE'S RC BUSINESS) HAVE JOINED TOGETHER TO COLLABORATE ON THE DEVELOPMENT AND MANUFACTURE OF A LOW-COST INTEGRATED SYSTEM FOR ELIMINATING METHANE EMISSIONS FROM NATURAL GAS ENGINES. THE PROPOSED TECHNOLOGY IS DESIGNED TO MITIGATE METHANE EMISSIONS FROM ALL INDUSTRIAL ENGINES AND REDUCE THEIR OPERATIONAL COSTS AND FUEL CONSUMPTION AND ENHANCE THEIR STABILITY AND EFFICIENCY. THE SYSTEM CAN BE INCORPORATED IN A TIMELY MANNER WITH VARIOUS NEW AND OLD INDUSTRIAL ENGINES WITHOUT ANY SPECIFIC LIMITATIONS. IT CAN ELIMINATE THE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH ONSITE UTILITIES (E.G., ELECTRICITY, WATER) TYPICALLY REQUIRED IN OTHER TECHNICAL APPROACHES. THE TUBULAR STRUCTURE OF THE MEMBRANE REACTOR ENABLES A COMPETITIVE MANUFACTURING PRICE AND EASY INTEGRATION. ADDITIONALLY, THE MEMBRANE REACTOR IN A NOVEL TUBULAR GEOMETRY IS MORE ROBUST IN ITS ABILITY TO HANDLE THERMAL, CHEMICAL, AND MECHANICAL STRESSES. THE SUCCESSFUL DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROPOSED TECHNOLOGY WILL BE A BREAKTHROUGH STEP TOWARD THE WIDESPREAD REDUCTION OF METHANE FROM NATURAL GAS ENGINES, AND THE TEAM PLANS TO COLLABORATE WITH OUR INDUSTRIAL PARTNERS TO FULLY COMMERCIALIZE THE TECHNOLOGY DUE TO ITS MARKET IMPACT AND NEEDS.
