A method and apparatus for producing energy from a composition comprising urea and water. The apparatus includes a container for supplying the present composition, such as a tank. The present composition is transported from the tank 11 to a container such as a reactor 12 for reacting urea and water to produce ammonia. The apparatus may include a container for supplying ammonia, such as a buffer tank 13, which is connected to the reactor. Ammonia generated from the reaction of urea and water is transported from the reactor 12 to a container such as a chamber 14 for oxidizing ammonia. The apparatus comprises not only means 60 for conveying gaseous substances containing ammonia, hydrogen and nitrogen oxides, but also means for conveying solutions such as compositions containing urea and water. Including. The apparatus may also include a container such as a post-combustion reactor 15 connected to the chamber 14. [Selection] Figure 1 |
