Method And System For Storing Hydrogen In A Salt Cavern With A Permeation Barrier
View pageUS Patent:
20130315669, Nov 28, 2013
Filed:
May 25, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/480864
Inventors:
Rommel M. Oates - Spring TX, US
International Classification:
B65G 5/00
US Classification:
405 53, 405 54, 405 55
Abstract:
A novel method and system for storing high purity hydrogen into a salt cavern is provided. Particularly, the storage process involves storing high purity hydrogen into a salt cavern without seepage or leakage of the stored hydrogen through the salt cavern walls, by creating a permeation barrier along the salt cavern walls. The cavern pressure is monitored and controlled to ensure formation and maintenance of the permeation barrier. Optional temperature treatments may also be incorporated as desired.
Hydrogen Supply Method And System

20130213479, Aug 22, 2013

Feb 16, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/398482
Inventors:

International Classification:
F17D 1/00
US Classification:
137 1, 137605
Abstract:
A method and system for supplying additional hydrogen from a reservoir of stored hydrogen in a salt cavern to a hydrogen pipeline to assist in meeting customer demand for hydrogen is provided. Contaminants introduced while the stored hydrogen stream is in the salt cavern may cause the crude hydrogen stream to not have the required product purity specification. The stored hydrogen is removed from the salt cavern as a crude hydrogen stream and thereafter diluted with higher purity hydrogen formed from the pipeline to form a hydrogen product stream at or below the product purity specification. The hydrogen product can be formed without removal of any of the contaminants in the crude stream, thereby creating a more cost effective and simplified supply process compared to conventional processes employing a salt cavern for hydrogen supply.

International Classification:
C01B 3/02
Abstract:
The present invention relates generally to a method for supplying high purity hydrogen through a hydrogen supply system comprising in fluid communication one or more storage caverns, multiple hydrogen production sources, and a pipeline distribution system capable of delivering hydrogen to a plurality of hydrogen demand points which coordinates the operation of the cavern, hydrogen plants, and pipeline distribution system to meet the real time dynamic demand profile.

System And Method For Purging Contaminants From A Salt Cavern

20160089705, Mar 31, 2016
Filed:
Sep 30, 2014
Appl. No.:
14/501215
Inventors:
ROMMEL M. OATES - SPRING TX, US
International Classification:
B09C 1/02
B09C 1/00
B65G 5/00
B09C 1/00
B65G 5/00
Abstract:
A novel system and method for removing contaminants in a salt cavern is provided. A purge fluid is used to purge one or more contaminants from the cavern on a continuous or intermittent basis before or during operation of the cavern. The cavern can be cycled one or more times with purging operations to create a cleaner cavern less susceptible to contaminating stored hydrogen during the operational lifetime of the cavern.

Filed:

Appl. No.:
14/475120

F17C 3/00
Abstract:
A novel system and method for storing hydrogen in a salt cavern and supplying therefrom is provided. Hydrogen product withdrawn from a hydrogen pipeline may be chilled prior to being introduced into a cavern in order to cool at least a portion of the walls of the salt cavern so that one or more layers of the localized portion of the walls attains a stabilized state whereby contaminant release from the walls is suppressed. The present invention anticipates and strategically plans for contaminant intrusion form a salt cavern in order to reduce the degree of contaminant intrusion from a salt cavern while also allowing the stored hydrogen to have more absorption capacity for water vapor by virtue of entering the salt cavern in a sufficiently drier state. Alternatively, or in addition thereto, a crude hydrogen stream may be withdrawn from the cavern and chilled prior to introducing to the hydrogen pipeline.

Inventors:
ROMMEL M. OATES - SPRING TX, US
International Classification:
B65G 5/00
Abstract:
A novel method for storing high purity hydrogen into a salt cavern is provided. Particularly, the storage process involves confining the high purity hydrogen at a certain pressure in a salt cavern without seepage or leakage of the stored hydrogen through the salt cavern walls. The pressure in the cavern is maintained during storage of the high purity hydrogen.
