SGPT CO₂ splitting technology

NEO GPR Gas Reactor

More energy from the same gas.

Roughly half of biogas is non-combustible CO₂, and in natural gas, LPG and LNG, moisture, inert components and composition swings erode efficiency. NEO GPR is fitted right before the consuming equipment and treats the fuel before it burns.

The hidden loss

Why your gas never delivers its full value

In a typical biogas, methane and carbon dioxide share the volume almost equally. Methane drives the engine; CO₂ simply takes up cylinder space, cools the flame and degrades combustion.

Piston with carbon deposits

Dead volume

About half of the gas does not burn. Part of every cylinder charge is just taking up space.

Heat loss

Moisture in the gas absorbs heat as it evaporates, weakening the flame and cutting efficiency.

Engine wear

Poor combustion leads to carbon build-up, uneven burning and a risk of knock.

The problem is not your engine. It is the unburnable CO₂ in your gas.

Invisible losses in your fuel line

Every gas fuel loses differently, with the same result

Part of the energy never takes part in combustion, and part is wasted through poor burning.

  • Biogas & landfill gas: up to 50% CO₂ and saturated moisture, giving a low heating value and an unstable flame.
  • Natural gas: moisture and inert components, incomplete mixing at the burner and hidden efficiency loss.
  • LPG & LNG: heavy components in LPG; cold gas and unstable composition after regasification in LNG, leading to sooting and an unstable process.

Flame instability

Heat drops, so more gas is burned for the same work.

Carbon build-up & knock

Frequent, costly maintenance; oil, spark-plug and valve failures.

Soot & emissions

High CO and unburned hydrocarbon emissions.

Value lost to the flare

Gas potential burned off in the flare because its quality is too low to use.

Inside the reactor

CO₂ splitting and hydrogenation in five steps

A plug-and-play fuel-line module fitted immediately upstream of the consuming equipment (engine, generator, boiler, burner).

  • 1. Inlet: gas fuel enters through the reactor’s top inlet.
  • 2. Reaction: the gas contacts the ionic solution; CO₂ is split and hydrogenated and the combustible share rises.
  • 3. Automatic control: a level sensor watches the solution and a single pump tops it up; the system runs itself.
  • 4. Outlet: treated gas with a higher energy density goes straight to the equipment.
  • 5. Easy maintenance: open the bottom flange to remove sediment and clean the interior without a long shutdown.

Smart conversion architecture

A six-stage closed loop

Gas passes through a line that measures, conditions and enriches it from inlet to engine. A PLC runs each stage using live analyser data.

  1. Gas inlet & analysis

    Flow and composition (CH₄, CO₂) measured in real time.

  2. Pre-conditioning

    Moisture, particulates, H₂S and siloxanes are removed.

  3. SGPT discharge chamber

    CO₂ molecules are split at high temperature.

  4. Hydrogenation

    Water or solution vapour joins the fuel stream.

  5. NEO additive dosing

    A liquid additive is dosed to improve combustion.

  6. Enriched fuel out

    Gas with a higher heating value goes to the engine.

Universal architecture

A modular set-up matched to your fuel

The module combination changes with the gas composition. The biggest gains come with CO₂-rich gases.

Biogas & landfill gas

Maximum recovery: without a reactor and with NEO GPR

Sooty, unstable orange flame
Without the reactor
  • Flame: slow, unstable and sooty.
  • Engine: knock and rapid carbon build-up.
  • Operation: frequent oil changes, spark-plug and valve failures, unplanned stops.
Focused, clean blue flame
With NEO GPR
  • Flame: focused, clean and hotter.
  • Engine: knock-free running and markedly less carbon build-up.
  • Operation: longer service intervals and maximum generator uptime.
  • Extra value: turns gas that was flared for poor quality into electricity and heat.

Clean-fuel optimisation

Industrial boiler line drawing

Natural gas — industrial efficiency

Manages inert components so the same heat or steam takes less gas.

Used in: ceramic kilns, textile stenters, steam boilers.

Containerised generator line drawing

LPG — off-grid & heavy industry

Prepares heavy components for combustion. Safety note: dedicated ventilation is engineered against gas pooling at floor level.

Used in: micro-grids, islands, isolated site generators.

Combined-cycle plant line drawing

LNG — regasification control

Installed downstream of the vaporiser to damp cold-gas shocks and composition changes.

Used in: combined-cycle plants, steel and glass furnaces.

Power generation

Net capacity gain by gas flow

Current electrical output of a biogas engine and the extra power targeted with a 25–35% efficiency gain.

Longer life

With less knock and carbon build-up, oil, spark-plug and valve change intervals stretch out markedly.

Continuous running

Unplanned stops are avoided and annual running hours go up.

Current outputs assume roughly 1.9 kWe per m³/h of biogas. The actual figure depends on methane content and engine efficiency.

Financial payback

Biogas financial gain model (100 m³/h reference plant)

For a plant with 4,000,000 kWh of fuel energy a year, today’s annual value is TRY 7,513,043 on a natural-gas-equivalent basis.

25% efficiency gainTRY 1,878,261/yr

+1,000,000 kWh extra energy

30% efficiency gainTRY 2,253,913/yr

+1,200,000 kWh extra energy

35% efficiency gainTRY 2,629,565/yr

+1,400,000 kWh extra energy

Model basis: 100 m³/h × 8,000 h/yr × 5.0 kWh/m³ = 4,000,000 kWh/yr of fuel energy; natural-gas-equivalent unit price ≈ TRY 1.88/kWh. Gains are verified independently by gas analysis and flow measurement under the same conditions before and after the reactor is commissioned.

For guidance only. Heating value is typically 5–6.5 kWh/m³ for biogas and ≈9.5–10.5 kWh/m³ for natural gas. Extra electrical power is estimated at 1.9 kWe per m³/h; firm figures come from site measurement.

Industrial boilers, furnaces & burners

Same heat, less gas, less soot

  • Fuel saving: with higher energy density, the gas valve is turned down for the same steam output or process temperature.
  • Higher flame temperature: flame temperature and stability are pushed to their peak.
  • Heat-transfer surfaces: a stable flame keeps soot off exchangers and tubes, so heat transfer stays high.
  • Corrosion protection: removing moisture from the gas eliminates condensation-driven acid corrosion.
  • Process stability: steadies temperatures in ceramic, glass and textile furnaces and keeps product quality consistent.
  • Lower emissions: less CO and fewer unburned hydrocarbons.

Target applications: food & beverage steam boilers, ceramic kilns, textile thermal-oil boilers, asphalt plants.

Industrial safety

A zero-risk safety shield

When a process produces CO and O₂, safety comes first in the design: as few moving parts as possible, and every protection layer tied into the PLC.

  • O₂ interlock: if oxygen from CO₂ splitting reaches a critical level, the PLC detects it and shuts off gas flow automatically.
  • ATEX-compliant body: flameproof enclosure against high temperature and mechanical flame arrestors on the lines.
  • Explosion protection: built-in flame arrestor and pressure-relief valve; ATEX-rated electrical equipment on the sensor and pump.
  • CO sensor and alarm network: fixed carbon monoxide sensors for continuous leak monitoring, with automatic ventilation.
  • Smart area monitoring: integrated oxygen (O₂) sensor, CO alarm and continuous gas-leak monitoring.
  • Pre-conditioning module: corrosive components such as H₂S and siloxanes are filtered out before they enter the system.
