Description

A serious environmental problem facing the world today is global climate change, which has been linked to the increased production of greenhouse gases, namely, carbon dioxide (CO?). Growing evidence details the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the air, the most important of which is CO2, as having an associated role in causing global climate warming. In order for carbon-rich fuels, such as those used in diesel engines, to remain viable and environmentally acceptable energy sources throughout the 21st century and beyond, new technologies that employ utilization of CO2 need to be developed at reasonable costs. The sequestration of CO2 would allow the use of carbon-based fuels to meet the world's increased energy demands far into the future, without further increasing the atmospheric concentration of CO2. Additionally, for carbon based fuels to maintain their predominance in the global energy market, the disposal of CO2 and the problem of global warming needs to be addressed. Shipping accounts for 2.5% of global CO2 emissions but this is expected to grow at a rate of 4% a year if left unregulated. Electricity is not an option for the shipping industry so the only realistic proposition for carbon neutral fuels in the future is synthetic fuels produced from captured CO2 however this would require new infrastructure in every port new engines in every ship and the roll out of a whole new world wide industry. This cannot be achieved by 2050 and even if it could it is unlikely to be economically viable. This system proposes using CO2 capture from the ships exhaust stream and CO2 capture and hydrogen production from seawater all on board a ship. The fresh water produced from the exhaust to be processed along with seawater and the CO2 captured to produce synthetic fuels and / or a carbon based product like precipitated carbonate ions for disposal at sea to aid with deacidification. The carbonates are bio nutrients and the alkaline nature of the discharge at pH 10,5. helps combat ocean acidification. The synthetic fuels produced can be passed back to the combustion chamber along with some of the water produced to enhance combustion in one of the ways known to those skilled in the art. Summary of invention The invention is an apparatus for treating seawater and exhaust gas from a ships engine with the aim of making the ship carbon neutral. Firstly a sea water pump removes seawater and passes it through a filter to remove solids. It is then passed to an ion exchange media, Fresh water is also required for the ion exchange media and this is provided by reclaimed treated water from the ships exhaust stream. The output from the exchange media are two streams an NaOH +H2 stream and an acidified seawater stream. The acidified seawater stream is passed to a vacuum stripper where the CO2 is removed and turned into a gas stream leaving acidified water for discharge. The NaOH +H2 stream is also passed to a separate vacuum stripper where it is separated into a NaOH stream and a Hydrogen stream. The CO2 is then passed to a CO2 reactor for producing bio nutrient carbonate ions at pH 10,5. for safe disposal at sea. The NaOH is also passed to the CO2 reactor as it is required in the process. The Hydrogen Stream is passed back to the internal combustion engine to aid with combustion, CO2 from the exhaust is also passed to the CO2 reactor for producing bio nutrient carbonate ions. The exhaust stream of the internal combustion engine is passed through a heat exchanger a hydrophobic membrane and a gas separation membrane to produce a water stream a CO2 stream and an N2O2 stream. The water stream is treated and some is passed back to the engine as emulsified fuel and some is passed to the exchange media where they are converted into an NaOH +H2 stream and an acidified seawater stream. Concentrated brine is supplied to the CO2 reactor for producing bio nutrient carbonate ions at pH 10,5. from an on-board storage source. The Brine can be from an on-board storage tank or from the ships reverse osmosis plant depending on the economics of the individual ship. The N2O2 stream is passed to a human waste reactor to aid with the breakdown of human waste. Acidified Seawater for discharge is neutralized with water from the exhaust before disposal at sea. The power is supplied by renewable sources on-board like solar and wind to ensure that the system is carbon neutral. Detailed Description In the first embodiment the hydrogen passed back to the combustion chamber or to power a fuel cell and the CO2 added to the Carbon Capture Machine for processing. This is because the production of synthetic fuels may (the idea needs to be tested) fall into the energy sink problem. The Ships reverse osmosis unit can be dispensed with and the fresh water to the exchange media be provides by water from the exhaust, the seawater can be provided directly by seawater pump. Methanol for methanol / water injection and High density brine for the CCM can be provided by onboard tanks filled up in ports which should be logistically quite straight forward. Desalination plants produce brine as a by-product so will be glad to get rid of the stuff. The methanol will need to be of the red or green variety. This embodiment would therefore use water captured from the exhaust (essentially "free" on-board as it is a bi-product of removing CO2 from the exhaust), brine also essentially free as it is an unwanted bi-product of desalination so the energy costs of the exchange media and vacuum strippers could easily be provided by on-board wind, heat from the exhaust, sun and the hydrogen fuel cell or hydrogen infusion of the diesel fuel thus producing carbon dioxide reclaimed from the sea (de-acidification 1) and this carbon dioxide along with carbon dioxide reclaimed from the exhaust to be turned into bio nutrient carbonate ions at pH 10,5. carbonate precipitate for safe and beneficial disposal at sea (de-acidification 2). It estimated that 76% of CO2 emitted from the ships engines will be converted to mineral carbonates. The 24% not converted will be offset by the CO2 captured from the sea. The energy cost of CO2 captured from the sea paid by water methanol injection / hydrogen infusion / emulsified fuel and the energy costs of the CO2 from seawater paid for by heat from the exhaust and on-board wind and solar. Methanol for the water methanol injection system can be made from on-board sources of CO2 and Hydrogen or from an on-board storage tank depending on the economics of the individual ship. The ship will now be carbon neutral but still using the current generation of fossil fuel diesel engines and no new onshore infrastructure. The second embodiment is a method of combining the extraction of chemicals from acidified seawater which produces carbon dioxide, hydrogen, sodium hydroxide (NaOH), fresh water and brine along with acidified seawater for discharge, with a method for processing an exhaust stream of a ship engine, comprising in sequential stages passing the exhaust gas stream through a heat exchanger then a hydrophobic membrane to remove the water content, then a gas separation membrane to isolate the carbon dioxide content. The sodium hydroxide and at least some of the water and brine produced by the combined system are used to supply a Carbon Capture Machine (JP2019527178A ) that produces carbonate precipitate for disposal at sea. Because of excess water produced from the exhaust stream the only function of the ships reverse osmosis system now is to provide brine for the Carbon Capture machine this reduced flow will save power as a smaller pump can be used. The less seawater pumped also means the less plankton removed from the food chain of marine lifeforms Some of the CO2 produced by the combined system and at least some of the hydrogen is past to a device for producing hydrocarbons (synthetic fuels) for passing back to the combustion chamber. Some of the water produced by the combined system is mixed with at least some of the synthetic fuel produced and passed back to the combustion chamber to enhance combustion using methods well known to those skilled in the art like emulsified fuel and water methanol injection Crower six stroke engine ect. Some of the water produced by the combined system is processed into drinking water and some of the water produced by the combined system that is processed into drinking water is combined with the acidified seawater discharge to neutralise it before disposal at sea. Some of the hydrogen produced by the system can passed to a hydrogen fuel cell for use as auxiliary power. Some of the sodium hydroxide (caustic soda) produced by the combined system can also be used to pre-treat seawater going into the reverse osmosis desalination plant. This changes the acidity of the water, which helps to prevent fouling of the membranes used to filter out the salty water. The system with minor adaptations could be used with a land based fossil fuel power station. The synergies between the seawater capture of CO2 system and the CO2 capture from the exhaust stream system being 1 Utilising the NaOH production by seawater capture which is a by product that goes to waste in the seawater system for NaOH use in the CCM process which requires an on-board storage tank of NaOH in the original system. 2. Combining of CO2 from seawater and exhaust gas into one stream for distribution as required on-board. 3. Combining CO2 reclaimed from all sources with hydrogen produced by ion exchange acidification cell to produce synthetic fuel (seawater system) for returning to combustion chamber along with water produced from the CO2 from exhaust system to enhance combustion . For example Methanol produced by the synthetic fuel reactor is used along with water from the exhaust for water methanol injection. 4 CO2 from both sources can be used in the Carbon Capture Machine for producing precipitating calcium carbonates and carbonate hydrates for disposal at sea. 5 The seawater system requires a large reverse osmosis system to produce fresh water but because of the abundant water produced from the ships exhaust this is no longer necessary. The only purpose for the reverse osmosis plant now is to produce Brine for the Carbon Capture Machine. The economics and energy costs of loading an on-board tank of brine from desalination plants for which it is a largely unwanted bi-product should be looked at because if it is economic the reverse osmosis plant can be completely disposed of. Detailed Description and figures Referring to FIG.l, a block and flow diagram of an example set of steps in accordance with a first embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. Reclaiming CO2 from the exhaust stream proceeds as follows.
