MUMBAI, India, Sept. 5 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202527076312 A) filed by Paradigm Fuels Pty Ltd., Mount Pleasant, Australia, on Aug. 11, for 'a system for generating and using nox gases in an algae growth system.'
Inventor(s) include Clifford, Peter; Clifford, Nathan; and Hack, David.
The application for the patent was published on Sept. 5, under issue no. 36/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A system (100) for generating NOx gases for growth of algae comprises: (a) a closed system combustion stage (38) to combust carbonaceous material at a flame temperature and pressure promoting generation of an exhaust gas comprising controlled proportions of carbon dioxide and a determined quantity of NOX gases; (b) a closed system algae growth and oxygen generation stage (10) for receiving the exhaust gas from the closed system combustion stage (38) and delivering said exhaust gas as at least a portion of a feedstock gas for growing algae in an algae growth medium (14) in which solubilised species of nitrogen including at least acid forming NOx and its reaction products with algae growth medium are metabolised by growing algae and directing an exit gas comprising carbon dioxide and non-solubilised NOx in controlled proportions to the closed system combustion stage (38); (c) dissociating insoluble NOX received from the closed system algae growth and oxygen generation stage (10) in the closed system combustion stage (38) and reforming said NOx into the same or other NOX gas constituents; (d) creating in situ nitrogen fertiliser in the algae growth medium for the benefit of algae growth; and (e) a control system for controlling operation of the closed system combustion stage (38) and closed system algae growth and oxygen generation stage (10) wherein the control system controls pH of the algae growth medium (14) to achieve a selected condition such as growth of algae or flocculation."
The patent application was internationally filed on Feb. 13, 2024, under International application No.PCT/AU2024/050093.
