A process and system for producing a synthetic hydrocarbon having a desired H / C ratio is disclosed. Organic material is biochemically digested in a two stage biodigester for separately producing a hydrogen containing biogas substantially free of methane in a first stage and a methane containing biogas in a second stage. The methane containing biogas is reformed in a first reformer to generate hydrogen gas and carbon monoxide gas, which are then combined in a mixer with the hydrogen containing biogas into a syngas in amounts to achieve in the syngas an overall H / C ratio substantially equal to the desired H / C ratio. The syngas is reacted with a catalyst in a second reformer, a Fischer-Tropsch (FT) reactor, to produce the hydrocarbon. Using a two stage biodigester allows for the generation of separate hydrogen and methane streams, a more economical generation of the FT syngas and reduced fouling of the FT catalyst.

A cardioverter / defibrillator of the type having at least one high voltage (HV) output capacitor having valve metal anode and cathode electrodes with an oxide formed over a majority of said anode and a wet electrolyte in fluid communication with the electrodes that is charged from a battery through a charging circuit including a HV step-up transformer and is adapted to be discharged through cardioversion / defibrillation (C / D) electrodes is disclosed. The HV output capacitor(s) periodically charge in a reform charge cycle to substantially a maximum or full charge at a reform charge rate slower than a C / D therapy charge rate, which also charges said HV output capacitor(s) to the maximum or full charge, to thereby reform deformed portions of the oxide.

The present invention provides a solid oxide fuel cell in which kinetic rates for internal reforming are controlled. The solid oxide fuel cell comprises a cathode, an electrolyte layer adjacent to the cathode, and an anode adjacent to the electrolyte layer. The anode used in the cell of the invention includes a support structure which defines at least a portion of an anode flow channel and a catalyst that promotes reforming. The anode flow channel has an anode flow channel entrance for the introduction of fuel to the solid oxide fuel cell and an anode flow channel exit for removing unreacted fuel and / or by-products. The catalyst is dispersed within or upon the support structure such that the rate of reforming increases at increasing distances from the anode flow channel entrance. The present invention also provides a method of controlling internal reforming kinetic rates in a solid oxide fuel cell.

The invention discloses a water storage tank circular seam structure and a manufacturing method thereof, and relates to the technical fields of high-capacity power station boiler water storage tank designing and manufacturing. The problems that an existing water storage tank circular seam structure is single in manufacturing method and lag in manufacturing technology, thus, a manufactured water storage tank is large in wall thickness margin, serious in inner surface wall thickness decreasing, discontinuous in structure and poor in machining quality are solved. According to the water storage tank circular seam structure, a water storage tank comprises two sealing heads and a plurality of barrel sections, all the barrel sections are sequentially spliced into a barrel body along the axes of the barrel sections, the two sealing heads are arranged at the two ends of the barrel body correspondingly, the ovality of the barrel body and the sealing heads is + / -0.6mm, and the thickness deviationbetween the barrel body and the sealing heads is 0-2mm; and a butt-joint circular seam groove is formed between every two adjacent barrel sections, a butt-joint circular seam groove is formed betweeneach sealing head and the corresponding barrel section adjacent to the sealing head, and the butt-joint circular seam grooves are connected through a welding mode. The manufacturing method is used for manufacturing of the water storage tank circular seam structure.
