Another benefit of adding oxygen is the reduction of excess steam requirement, which could reduce the quantity of heat required to generate the steam and eventually increases the overall system performance.
To optimize the performance, the reactor temperature and the amount of excess steam are varied.
Process savings may be realized by reducing the quantity of excess steam to the reactor, and the expensive, sulfur-sensitive shift catalyst is not needed in the 500 600°C range of interest.
During my first try, with a bass fillet, the bag exploded; when water boils and becomes steam, it expands in volume by a factor of 1,600 (Mr. Myhrvold explained that one liter of water becomes 1,600 liters of steam), so excess air will heighten the risk of popping.
The opportunity to use excess steam of each steam levels of steam network of utility system has been investigated.
If too much decarbonation occurs as might happen if a large amount of saltwater, or brine, gets injected into the system an excess of carbon dioxide, methane and steam is produced.
Intended for service in the German colonial empire and as a fleet scout, Gefion was armed with a main battery of ten 10.5 cm guns, had a top speed in excess of 19.5 kn, and could steam for 3500 nautical miles, the longest range of any German warship at the time.
This study investigated the utilization of available excess steam by the Kamojang geothermal power plant, which, owing to the vapor-domination of the steam, utilizes a dry steam cycle.
One of the major claims of that study was the significant enhancement of operating temperatures on the carbon deposition as well as the role of the excess steam in the carbon gasification process.
