​OVERVIEW

​

For any liquid or slurrified solid intake, water is separated from its mixed components, resulting in pure water. The separated component byproducts are either reformed to produce energy and valued products, or destroyed.  The component byproducts can be used to formulate molecular products, harvested to produce bulk isolated materials, to produce carbon-free fuel as well as grid-ready power scalable to consumer demand.

Langenburg Systems operate without external power requirement, and without pollutive emissions. Capacities are scalable for industrial and civil infrastructure.

​

​EXAMPLE APPLICATIONS

​

• gigawatt-capacity power production for consumer power grid.

• remediation of any waste, toxic and hazmat material.

• salt (and mixed-component) extraction from seawater and industrial brines.

• carbon-free fuel for steam-turbine power plants, also for diesel piston engines and jet-turbine engines.

• water extraction from sewage in which the component byproduct slurry is converted.

• upgrades to recycling plants such as those processing mixed plastics and organics by pyrolysis, where thermal processes are augmented and/or replaced by the Langenburg reformation process.

EXAMPLE SYSTEM

 A Langenburg Systems truck-mounted unit provides the following functions:  water isolation, treatment and purification;  material-to-energy conversion and material destruction;  carbon-free fuel and electrical power production.  The intake capacity is 600,000-800,000 gallons per day.  90% of the water content is separated from the intake stream, treated and purified. The remaining component byproducts from the intake are converted to carbon-free fuel used to operate a turbine-generator at 50 MW baseload capacity, a fraction of the capacity is available for load-balancing.  The system can also produce enough surplus fuel to operate a steam turbine set for a 600 MW power plant.

HISTORY

The noble line of decent known as The Princely Dynasty of Hohenlohe dates back to 1450.  Its royal insignia depict the classic allegory of a phoenix inscribed with 'ex flammis clarior ', or 'from the flames, brighter '.  This royal German legacy has a history rich in sciences and engineering, and was imported to Southern California during the 1960's by inventor Prinz Albrecht zu Hohenlohe-Langenburg.  The Langenburg Technologies logo features a classic crest with three stylized dragons on a crowned shield that each represent an age of royal dynasty; the crown symbolizing a far earlier royal heritage linked to origins of the Roman empire.
